i would love that! longterm best friends, maybe? they could've connected while he was filming fnl and she was filming united states of tara at some sort of event, got along well, kept in touch and got together whenever they could? and probably rolled their eyes at several dating rumors. he's a really loyal guy, goes out of his way to make sure his friends are happy sometimes to his own detriment, and definitely needs someone to bring him back down to earth because he's fickle and jumps from idea to idea/person to person way too thoughtlessly sometimes.
