Dear Panel,

There is this girl who I am fairly good friends with. We are exactly alike – exact. You could say she is me, except she's a girl.

But she is really attracted to this other guy, who is not like her at all. I have grown feelings for her and I don't understand why she isn't attracted to me at all, and no, I'm not ugly or anything like that. It's very frustrating, I just don't understand her motives.

YOU can't decide who she's compatible with.

So I guess my question is "Why do opposites attract?" And why do girls (or at least this one in particular) don't find guys that they're compatible with?
