Batteries Feel Included offers a 17-step “Easy Solutions #1” to the problem, “So, you’re in love with one of your friends, but she has a boyfriend and probably wouldn’t have sex with you anyway.”

Step Ten: If your friend is a curious person she will probably ask ‘What worked?’, even if she doesn’t ask this question it is important that you now say the words ‘(Insert Friend’s Name), I’m from the future’ in your most deadpan voice.

The sequence described is not “easy”  — or endorsed by OTB — but it is amusing.  And, if this was the most pressing problem this guy had to solve, I’m intrigued to see how the series develops.
