I just had an epiphany these past few days: I am women's best friend.  But not in a boyfriend-ish way.  I'm just their "best girlfriend."  Oh my god this totally blows!  I am Will Truman, minus that I'm not gay!  Shit shit shit!

Okay, what the hell am I babbling about?

I've always been complimented by my female friends as the guy to go talk to when they're having problems.  Girls tend to use me as their ear for their problems, especially relationships.  Just the other day, my friend from my previous office was talking about her issues at work, life and recent boyfriend.  At the end of the conversation on email, she asks me, "Should I break up with this guy?"  I was like, "Yeah!"  But secretly I was maliciously implanting seeds of doubt because I wanted to fuck her!

Or tonight I was talking to my #1 semi-realistic girl that I like the most outside of Reina Miyauchi.  She was kinda depressed at first and I figured that it had to deal with Valentines and probably the fact that she's alone at the moment.  Turns out, I wasn't too far from the truth.  Typical female Japanese story: all her friends are married, having kids, sending her photos and email and she's still by herself.  Of course, it didn't take that long to pry her open.  I was hoping to gain her sympathy to increase my possibility of having any sense of hope with her, but I think that thought was dashed out in that she probably still just thinks of me as her non-gay Will Truman.

Not all girls react "positively" like this.  Some girls think that my advice is offensive at times, rather than friendly.  I got used to that and don't mind in the end because at least I don't have to worry about the whole "can't date a friend" thing.  But I seriously need to do something about this "problem" of mine.  I feel like an unpaid psychologist at times.
