88, sorry for the "just want to be friends" punch to the solar plexus
I'm 44 years old, married to the best gal in the world(19 years) and I still remember the times I got hit with that line. It will get better...eventually.
Just go rebait your hook and see if anything else bites. It sounds like you're young enough not to be looking for anything too serious. Find a young lady who might want to go out with you who you are just friends with. Some of the best times I had in high school dating wise were with girls where there were no big relationship pressures. Just good times!
Who knows what might happen. My wife and I were "just friends" when we started dating and it kind of took the pressure off of the whole relationship deal. We were able to be natural with one another to the point that when we did get serious, we didn't have to worry about the new relationship games that most have to deal with.
It'll get better...a lot of times good things happen when you're not even looking.

Good Luck!
