I'm perplexed...most of the advice here is to sit idley by and be the shoulder to cry on. I'm sure most of the guys here who have love lifes like mine (that's a term I use loosely) have been doing that their entire lives and it's gotten us/them nowhere. I don't mind listening and giving consolation, but I don't want to do it solely for the reason of hooking up. I honestly care about this girl and would listen and talk to her regardless of my feelings. The problem is that experience tells me what I say will get through to her but in the end things won't turn out for the best. Statistically women like her will use my shoulder to cry on, I'll become too attached, and then she'll go off and find some other guy to treat her like shit and I'll get emotionally f@cked. I wanna help but I don't wanna get screwed up in the process.
