Ryan Jay Keeps Falling For His Friends
The case of the guy who keeps falling for his female friends.
Ryan Jay has a problem. He makes friends with women. They get close. Then he falls for them.
It’s happened enough times that Ryan Jay is starting to question whether he actually knows how to be friends with women without wanting to date them.
So we bring in a proxy to help Ryan Jay figure out why friendship keeps turning into romance for him — and whether there’s another way to do this.
