I'm sure you're an attractive, sweet, "100% good person" even, but the whole mechanism of "falling in love" with somebody is pretty complex and involves a lot of things. One of those things may, or may not, be our sexuality. You can "love" a really good friend, but not have that go anywhere near the realm of sexuality. Same with family members. Ancient Greeks recognized these different expressions of love, and had different words for each. They'd say "agape" to express the love that a "god" has for its creations, and would probably use that term to express the kind of love that a parent has for a child. They would call the kind of love that a friend has for a friend as "philia" but this is "brotherly love" without any hint of sexual content. For that, they'd say "eros."
While people can express their sexuality in a range of ways, one thing seems pretty clear, and that's the fact that our sexual orientation is pretty fixed (as long as we're being honest with ourselves and others). So your straight friend isn't going to "love" you in a way that gets expressed physically.
The recommendation that somebody else made about "sticking to your own kind" is somewhat harshly worded, but it makes sense. I know that there aren't a plethora of gay long-term relationship role models, but that DOES exist if you make it a priority. But look for it with other people who will be able to express it sexually with you, and a straight guy isn't going to be able to do that.
Good luck, and stay positive.

There are plenty of straight guys who have asked, "How can I get that girl to fall in love with me?" and straight girls who have asked, "How can I get that guy to fall in love with me?"
I think the answer is that we can't make anybody fall in love with us. If it doesn't happen naturally, it isn't real and won't last and will usually only lead to heartache and pain.
Real, mutual love is worth waiting for. If you are looking for a lasting relationship, start with looking at yourself. Be somebody worth being with. Be somebody that has a lot to offer, rather than somebody with a lot of needs. You deserve someone who wants you as much as you want them, but even that takes work and strength of character and spirit to last, and if you try to build a relationship from a position of need, you are setting yourself up for hurt.
