Because having romantic feelings for someone who is for some reason unable reciprocate it -- whether it is because they're asexual or just plainly unavailable -- is painful and uncomfortable and can put strains in a friendship, especially if you're close and the person in question can read your emotions like a book. Because personal relationships are difficult and complicated and involve significantly more than 'screwing' and 'making out' -- they go both ways and when you invest a certain kind of feeling into someone and they cannot return it on the same level, it sends your relationship out of synch, like one person is always one step ahead of the other, and yeah, no one wants that but it happens. It's selfish to want the other person on the same page as you when you know they legitimately can't be, but you want it anyway.

Not the OP, probably overstepping my boundaries here and navel-gazing to boot, but God, your comment really bothered me. I'm sorry, it's just so insensitive and belittling. Having someone you care for be emotionally unavailable in any sense is much worse than overcoming distance and superficial separation -- I would rather take the Malaysia option.
