[ WP ] You 're in a bar , WingWoman to the most pathetic PUA ever , and watch as he 's shot down again and again . Yet you love him . Describe your agony .

Why ca n't he see the signs? I keep on setting him up to fail on the chance that instead of searching for something new he'll settle for what he already has. Once he's given up on others, I might be able to make a move. But he is immune to the depression of failure, not scared of it like myself and persistent. All the same reasons for which I started to love him are what keep me from being able to slink out of this position into which I've placed myself. 
 
 It is a special kind of madness, to sit here, feigning to help someone you truly care for yet betraying them at the same time. It feels awful, but not nearly as awful as losing that glimmer of a chance. So I will keep close, keep setting him up to fail and hope that his dogged determination finally runs out. I pray that no one actually sees what a great guy he is and will wait patiently until I can no longer bear the gnawing pangs of my own inability to make a move.
