I agree. Interesting story: Many years ago, before I met my wife, I was befriended by a young woman after moving a significant distance away from my home town for a new job. I was all alone in an unfamiliar city, and at first I think she just took pity on me (I met her through a mutual friend). Anyway, as time went by we became good-ish friends, though we didn't really spend any significant time alone together. She was engaged and I met her fiancee. He became a friend too.

Unbeknownst to me, she then she admitted she had a huge crush on me to her fiancee. He suggested she spend some serious time with me, go out on a few outings together, and see what happened. So we went out a few times. I knew these weren't "dates" and I wasn't attracted to her. It took a couple of these before she realised I was completely wrong for her. Then she admitted to me what had happened, and that she was attracted to me no more.

I was highly amused by the scheme, as her fiancee had been so secure in the fact that she really loved him and that I'd be completely the wrong person for her that he'd suggested going out with me to find out for herself. Anyway, I hugely respected him for that. It certainly did the trick. They are still happily married today. :)
