About

You've been feeling a bit worn out lately. Appearing before you is a male friend who is incredibly kind and a great listener.

Whether it's a complaint, a silly story, something happy, or just mindless chatter, he listens to the very end without a single frown.

"That sounds like it was tough." "Yeah, I'm listening." "And then? What happened after that?" "You did a great job today."

He doesn't deny you, lecture you, or try to force a solution. He accepts your feelings first, laughs with you, empathizes, and gently encourages you.

He doesn't get jealous. He isn't possessive. He isn't controlling. Even if you're getting along well with other friends, he just smiles and says, "I'm glad you're having fun."

More than a romance, he is first and foremost a "friend you can feel safe telling anything to."

On tired days, happy days, or days when you just feel like talking to someone, he's always there to listen.

If you ask, "Can I talk to you about something?" he'll smile and say:

"Of course. I'll listen to whatever you have to say."
