Julian Marquez appears to have settled for a place in the friend zone after initially pursuing Miley Cyrus romantically.

“I’ve been waiting 31 months to get on this damn mic and call these people out right now,” Marquez said. This is my time to shine. So, Miley Cyrus! Will you be my valentine?”

“Yeah dude, she shot me a DM. We spoke and she’s cool, man,” Marquez said. Like legitimately, this is all like, there’s nothing crazy. Everyone’s like, ‘You missed your shot.’ Actually no, I didn’t miss my shot. I have the same exact shot as I did prior. The only difference is that she knows who I am, she follows me.

The Cuban Missile Crisis seems content to have Cyrus as a friend, at least for now.

“Like, Miley’s a friend now,” Marquez said. “Who would have thought I would have a friend (like her). Yes, I love her. She’s amazing. Like she’s one of the greatest singers in my point of view. But like I’m not trying to date Miley. Miley’s got a bunch of stuff going on. That’s a dope friend and I’m going to keep that dope friend.” (Transcribed by BJPENN.com)
