<human>: Hello r/relationships!  Throwaway here- if this isn't the right subreddit for this question please let me know. 

I (27F) have been friends with my best friend (28M) for 20 years. I love him like a brother. He's had exactly one girlfriend for 2 months about 2 years ago, and no luck since. He's had some attraction to me over the years, but I've made it clear that I see him as my brother and I can't see him in a sexual light. He's really frustrated/depressed as a result of all this, and I want to help him a girl. I'm not looking to find him a soulmate, but I'm hoping to get him laid so he can gain some sort of confidence again. 

I'll be honest- my friend has a lot of stuff working against him. He's short, he works minimum wage jobs, he's plump, extremely awkward, and he's nerdy enough to outdo the guys from Big Bang theory. Being bitter/depressed about life and romance works against him too. He has things going for him though- he's well traveled, bilingual, and a musician. 

I know that the best thing for him would be to work on himself, overcome his depression, etc, but in his state of mind he can't motivate himself to do anything. Believe me, I've tried to convince him to do these things but to no avail. I don't think he'll work on himself until he feels like he's worth working on, and I don't think he'll get that self confidence until he gets laid. 

I've tried to be a wingwoman but no girl I've ever introduced to him has ever found him appealing.  I have seriously considered hiring an "escort" for him, but I don't know where to find one or how one goes about it. 

What should I do to help my friend?  Are there girls out there who would be willing to lay a guy like him, or would I need to track down a professional?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
