I don't know. I'm the same way.

It's always easier to observe and solve a problem than it is to when you are a part of one. Even though you don't have any personal experience within a relationship, you can see it from both sides. Whereas most of the time, each individual within the relationship is biased towards themselves.

Perhaps you know how to actively listen and let them solve their own problems.

do you think "dear abby" had experience in every aspect of life? hardly.... she had a level head and common sense... my guess is that you have a logicial mind and a good way of problem solving. be happy you have this gift.

Perhaps you are a good listener and do not judge them.

The more serious relationships you are in, the less you know about relationships.

I was 'that friend' too. I was a late bloomer, so I was confused in the same way you are.. I know I'm a good listener, so I figured that was it. When I thought about it a little more, I figured it was also because I hadn't been 'jaded' due to my lack of experience. One day, it came to me. All of the above played a role, but I never really provided them with any advice about what they should or shouldn't do. What I did was ask them questions that I was probably just curious about, but the way I asked those questions caused *them* to think about their situations in a way that brought them to conclusions all on their own.

You seem like the kind of person who will give them a truthful answer. Having experience isn't always the best thing, you know. A lot of "experienced people" are "experienced" at playing mind games with other people, and that's not cool at all. You, on the other hand, are a breath of fresh air, because from what I can tell, that is not your style.
