I figure my problem is I don't have any close single male friends.

But dude's, is any of this true or is it just a funny article?

Every guy at some point gets a crush on their female friends. Same thing happens with women. It just seems to be human nature for this sort of thing to happen.

One of my best friends is a female, and I would never want to date here. But, I will say that at some point there were a few friends of mine of the opposite gender that I thought about dating. But, if I never got with someone, there was usually a reason such as me realizing that it wouldn't work out and we were better staying as friends.

It's the only way I've ever become attracted to anyone. I just can not see asking a complete stranger out, and not just because I'm likely to be nervous or awkward, but also because I'd probably find them to be weird if they did the same. Seems much more about manipulating others rather than building a true connection. Not to say I don't think it's possible to just be friends. Really, it's more that with how distant I keep myself from some I wonder why they even bother to be friends with me.

The sort of depression I've been in lately has stemmed from this kind of thing. Of course it's really just my own fault for once again being so naive, but it really sucks when you thought you've finally found someone who'll accept you, only to have your feelings completely ignored and tossed aside.
