Nah - it's not stupid. You've seen at least one of those guys who managed to get into the buddy category with some outrageously beautiful girl that you know he's madly in love but knows his place. He still gets to hang out with a girl he's got a huge crush on, sometimes he'll hang in through thick and thin so long with her they begin to see the flaws, tire of the drama and eventually moves on.

Men are more shallow than I thought after reading that one.

I can't understand this reasoning either. It would totally kill me inside to be that close to someone I'm secretly pining for. It's one thing to stay on friendly terms with someone you like but who doesn't like you. It's quite another to try to be their best friend just so you can be as close to them as they will allow. I think that's akin to selling your soul!

Also, you might try being nice to the older females, who might have daughters your own age. And being friendly towards women you wouldn't deem as attractive, so long as you get the message that its a friendly deal only. They might know somebody who you will like and likewise. Try out these tips with a lot of people. Somewhere, somebody will smile back and you guys will be having dinner that weekend with her friends.

Why on earth would I want to do this? Why would I want to be so close to someone I couldn't be with?

I agree. He needs to become a practicing homosexual to fully understand women.

Her : "Hmm? Yes?"
Me : "You ever try those noodles before?"
Her : "Yeah."
Me : "How are they? They look good, but I'm really picky about my food."
Her : "They're pretty good; they're sweet with a tiny bit of pepper. They're awesome with some soy sauce."
Me : "Oh... (nods, smiles) thanks."
Her : "No problem."

Then she walked away. That's the furthest past "hi" with a random girl I've gotten in a while.
I think you made good progress, but the way I see it, you ended the conversation and she left. You should have shown some interest in her, maybe asking what she was getting and follow-up questions about it. You may have ended with the same result, but then it would be her ending it.

But physically my attraction is to 5-10 years younger than me.
