Today, my best friend, who I've been in love with for nearly a decade, asked me to help him set up an online dating profile. During our 4-hour conversation, as he waded through the profiles, he complained that it was impossible for him to find a girl to have a meaningful conversation with. FML

OP here. I don't know if I'm doing this correctly, but here goes. Thank you for the encouraging comments, even the harsh ones. I'm aware of how ridiculous this sounds... Trust me. I have two good female friends who I'm sure are tired of me harping away on this. It hasn't been years of me staring at him through foggy windows, all sad. I've dated other people and so has he. It wasn't easy because truly, I love him. Circumstances just didn't allow for us to be together... Whether he wanted to or not. So, I chose to keep his friendship and not risk it. We are adults now and things have changed. It's perfect, but I feel like so much time has passed that he no longer sees me as a girl he'd want to be with now that its possible. We have a special bond and as much as it devastates me to think he would reject me, it would kill me to see everything we have just turn into something ugly.

Make your own profile and get his attention, OP!

These guys are saying to make your own profile, which is cute and all, but what if he finds someone else's before yours? No, the best option is to be upfront and talk to him about your feelings.

People are getting on OP for not saying anything, but guys can turn women down too.

Yet he felt comfortable to ask the OP, and trusts her enough to ask her for help in a quite intimate matter. Maybe he just thinks she's out of his league?

It's been 10 years, I'm sure he'd assume she's moved on by now. Guys I've turned down talk to me about their love lives all the time.

Well, that was, like, perfect opportunity missed out....

Get him drunk, drag him away from the crowd and simply kiss him. It worked on me :)

I guess you're the first girl to ever be in the friend zone

There's no such thing as the Friend zone

You need to let him know how you feel. I know how hard it can be, but maybe he hasn't said anything either, but feels like you do?

Maybe.... he's trying to imply that he likes you. Just like Adele said: "You'll never know if you never try".

op it's high time you made a move. I speak through experience. You would not want to be the one looking at him with someone else than rather feel horrible about not even letting your feelings to him. Trust me on this one.

He means, that he's also sexually attracted to, too. Sorry OP.

Talk to him OP if he has no interest maybe it is time to move on. We live in a equal society never forget that you can ask him out on a date.
