Yes I have.

It left me feeling very empty and shallow.

I'd say bide your time, wait, make sure you've met the right girl(without trying to chase some idealized fantasy of one), and let nature take its course.

People are people. If someone is decent, honest, hardworking, and not a jerk...then give it time.

People always talk about the stupid ass friend zone. That's bull. I say that I'd sooner be a girl's friend first and anything else second. Passion consumes.....

Being someone's friend doesn't mean being their stepping stone, their slave, or their emotional tampon.

Being someone's friend is being someone who can be counted upon when times or tough or even better, when they aren't.

I speak from years....and years....and YEARS of hard won, painful experience.

You don't have to do anything you don't want to and trust me, sex is way overrated.

You want someone you can live WITH, not someone you can't live without.
