wow...so i'm new to PC and browsing through the forums i read this post while me and my roomate are currently talking about this exact situation with another, albeit said friend is a littlle younger. That being said the friend has said much of what you have said and if these circumstances are as similar as they seem I believe it is a safe assumption that the reasons you have listed are probably not always the case. Everyone is different and everyone's interests are different so it is possible you are just too awesome for the people that you have come across haha. All joking aside I myself have a major crush on a girl that does not reciprocate...i completely understand how hard of a situation that is since many girls have come and gone (none that i've dated officially mind you) but none have come close to the girl i wish i could be with. its funny how perspective changes with age. i am a bit younger than you are but a good number of my friends are around your age and it seems to be that from my point of view it doesn't make sense to pair up even at ya'lls age but needing that female companionship can just be overwhelming at time. All that being said in response to your questions getting over your friend is a time thing...I know that's nothing anyone wants to hear but when it happens is when its gonna happen, keeping up distractions help me with coping or as much as i hate it just letting my other buds take care of me a little and talk me through it from their 3rd person view. finding single women seems to be more of a challenge these days, and in my experience i have trouble meeting people in general or always am introduced by someone i already know, attracting single women sort of falls into that category as well. i'm really sorry i can't be of more help in that regard. there's my little schpiel on the situation, i'm sorry it's not very insightful i just hope that knowing there is someone that can understand will be helpful. i don't communicatae very well... if you want to talk more though and/or try to work through stuff feel free to message or reply here or whatever. have a great day bud and know that things always work out.
