Oh, by all means, feel free to vent your frustrations here. There is no need to apologize.
I still haven't tried to make a move on any of my friends for all the same reasons, but I'm a pretty patient person, and I really don't want to set myself up for disappointment, so if it happens, it happens. If not, then I guess that would be fine as well because I won't have to worry so much about possibly losing a friend.
