About this episode

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have a male best friend that I want to be more than friends with. I was taught that the man is supposed to pursue the woman so I've never attempted to tell him how I feel about him. We have been friends for ten years and although we have a strictly platonic relationship, our friends and family make jokes about us already being a couple. My mom even refers to him as her son in law. He lives 400 miles away, but we see each other several times a month. He always pays for my flight, hotel rooms, meals whenever I go to visit him. When he comes to see me, he spends time with my mom and he makes plans for us to see movies concerts plays etc...........
