Jane looks mildly panicked, and I jump in to save her from having to talk. "You have the oddest way of coming on to me, Tiny."
"I would never come on to you, because you're not gay. And, like, boys who like girls are inherently unhot. Why would you like someone who can't like you back?"
The question is rhetorical, but if I wasn't trying to shut up, I'd answer: You like someone who can't like you back because unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot.
