Well, well, well.. Nice one Mr. Platonic friend or is it Mr. I-was-once-a-platonic friend. Lighten up and get over it!

hey look. I'm a girl and I understand that frustration you may have. You failed to mention that it happens both ways. There will be giant ***** out there, that don't give a shit about your feelings or who you are, and guys will still fall for them. Just as some ignorant girls fall for assholes, there are an equal amount of guys that fall for bitches. It's what's going to happen, although I understand where you are coming from, I feel that it's unfair to mention only one side. There's frustration for us girls too though!

Okay, we'll stop seeing the asshole as the "alpha male" as soon as you stop seeing any woman who glances at you as someone you need to ****. Deal?

Here’s some advice: If you like a girl, don’t sulk about being “the nice guy who never gets the girl because they always go for jerks” instead, take some action. Girls go for people who actually SHOW romantic interest in them. So, if you like a girl and you want her to be your girlfriend, make that clear. Tell her you like her. Having someone show interest to you (clear interest) is a big motivating factor towards a relationship. Even if she turns you down at first (because she hadn’t thought of you that way) just the fact that she KNOWS you like her makes it much more likely that as she thinks about it, she will come around to the idea and reciprocate your feelings. It’s funny that so many guys complain about being the nice guy and only being seen as a friend even though they never make a move. How are you supposed to be seen as anything else? The reason girls end up with “jerks” is not because having someone be rude to you is attractive, but because CONFIDENCE is extremely attractive and a lot of “jerks” usually have a lot of confidence. So, if “nice guys” would express their feelings they would also be more confident, therefore more attractive. (Please note that being confident does not mean you have to be a jerk and it’s in your best interest NOT to be). Seriously, there’s nothing to lose. If the girl says no, you stay where you are (if you’re real friends, you’ll stay friends) and hopefully be able to move on at that point. If she says yes, well then you’re set. So just make your feelings/intentions clear. We probably THINK you like us anyway, it’s quite obvious) but that does NOT have the same effect as actually hearing it from you. P.S. Marrying someone who you haven’t had a romantic relationship with would be a mistake. Even for the nice guy who’d been pining away for months/years, an actual relationship with this girl would be different than whatever you imagined. Giving it a shot by dating is one thing, but marriage isn’t the time to be trying out a relationship.
