Girl best friend pining over oblivious long-loved guy best friend = MY BULLETPROOF SQUICK.

The best possible ending for that scenario, in my opinion, is always going to be "Girl gets the fuck over it, moves on, and hopefully finds person who adores her already." The alternative of "Guy best friend opens his eyes and gets a clue" gives me the creepy crawlies.

SQUICK SQUICK SQUICK.

Heee. Yeah, actually, I'm not a huge fan of that, either, a lot of the time -- it's a really hard balance to strike, I think, to do it well and not fall into weird power balances or fall into another episode of the Asshole and the Doormat.
