"You know what a male friend is to a woman? It's a d*ck in a glass case, break in case of emergency."
I've been the back burner guy before.....
lol i seen that one. i love the uncensored one, its awesome. " a white guy is proud to be white, he wouldn't even trade me to have my life. and i'm rich." (arent the exact words, except the last 3)
Let's say I really like this girl. The girl, seemingly likes me back. She flirts, we hang out, have similar interests, but there's one small catch. The girl has a boyfriend.
No problem, what's the harm in being friends? There is none except for the fact that anytime this girl has a problem with her boyfriend, she comes to me.
She explains how her boyfriend is a jerk (in my case, he was messing around on her, putting her down verbally, lashing out at any male friend she had, etc.) and how she wishes she could be with a guy like me.
I explain that she should break up with this guy, and try going out with me. In my foolishness (or willingness to listen to me d*ck) I believe her when she tells me they are probably going to break up.
The girl and I have out for about one more week, when I find out the BF and her have patched things up. I also hear how great it is for her to have such a friend like me.
A month or so later, the problems with the BF re-emerge. I begin getting calls and whatnot about how badly he treats her. She once again tells me that she wished she had a BF like me. Being a stupid male, I fall back into the, "break up with him, go out with me camp", but I don't realize that in a week or so, her and the BF will get back together.
------
This went on with me for about 2 years. I've had more than one friend find themselves in a similar situation, with the same outcome. The girl stays with her BF, and I stay on the backburner in case she needs a shoulder to cry on.
Ergo, the backburner boyfriend.
