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.

Four hours wasn't meaningful? Really? Well you know his user name find him and go from there

I will give you some advice op, He probably thinks he's in the friend zone so he won't make a move

How about saying telling him instead of sitting there and doing nothing. You will end up regretting it if you don't try.

your fault....******* SAY SOMETHING

just tell him! if he rejects u o well BC the way I see it if he gets a gf ur friendship probably wont be the same anyways.

I don't think "meaningful conversation" means to him what you think it means. *wink wink nudge nudge*

its time to be upfront and tell him

And people say the friend zone doesn't exist... ==" It obviously must because we're not gonna want a relationship with just anyone and definitely not everyone but blaming a person for not wanting to be in a relationship with you isn't the right way to go about it and will never work in your favour
