I don't need to date anybody. I am very much aware that I am not capable of providing and receiving the things I would want and need from a relationship. And on top of that, I couldn't bring myself to be someone as such to a girl I cared about.

I'd much rather see a girl I like dating some loser who is NOT me, rather than me being the loser she's dating, and hurting her. At least from the safety of my position is Just A Friend, I can always be the good guy. And that's something to be happy about.
