This usually ends with them saying, 'thank you - you're a really good friend!' People do the therapist thing with me and I keep their secrets and try hard to give good advice. If a friend is going through hard times, I call them up or take them on a walk and encourage them to talk their insecurities out. They thank me later for helping break the ice with their target. I find a reason to cut my night short and bail so they can get it on. I put the guy/girl at ease and then my friend swoops in and I get the awkward pleasure of having to be present for the flirting, which can be excruciating. If a friend is looking to get laid and needs a wingman, I'm down to help. I'm starting to think I'm stuck in a cycle where I'm always there for people who are rarely there for me.
