Though...I suppose it is unreasonable to state: "I *won't * develop feelings." Our hearts, it would seem is not under our sway, but quite the opposite.

All things are impermanent, and subject to change. Inconvenient, painful, perception-altering change.

Still, messy business that.

That movie was ridiculous, lol.

See, I can HAVE guy friends, because I'm married, and don't WANT anyone else.



Ditto, not about the movie (didn't see it). My X-husband and I became best friends after the divorce (oddly enough), and stayed that way till the end (he died in 2010 from cancer). We didn't suit as mates, but as friends we did - knew everything about the other already, it was like one of those friends you grow up knowing.

@ Blackie - There is nothing gender specific about friends that want to suddenly change the dynamic of the friendship and hit on you, I've had both male and female friends attempt to convert a friendship.

I think it is the level they feel close to you is such that they don't know where else to take it but to the next level, in most cases not the one you are thinking about. (and I've been blind to the signals before too, and ended up in an awkward scene of "Huh?").

The worst part of that is, it does change the relationship after someone hits on you and is rejected. They feel the embarrassment of the rejection; and you feel hesitant to showing the normal affections between you and them thinking (either that may be what started this whole thing, or unsure if that will be a mixed signal).

I'm well aware that it's a general phenomena, having been on the other side of the position. Simply meant my recent personal experience and the roles of orientation and gender qualities the people involved happened to have had. smile.gif

Men and Women aren't all that different, besides the obvious ones. We're still sloppy, shortsighted humans.

I suppose. Still painful when the old form must inevitably change to the new.

It's even worse when you don't realize what was going on and didn't realize you had rejected until much later, then to compound it with the realization that you did requite it after all when the realization hits.

In the single mother's case it was like...she didn't act any different, didn't talk any different, just sort of assumed I read minds and the like and then when it finally got to the point of: "Hey, what's going on here? Where is this going?" I was like 'Huh?!' as you said and was a bit put-off.

The worst part was she tried to put in on me like I was the one playing games...

Like I said, it didn't end well. laugh.gif

Short version: No more ladyfriends! Just doesn't work for me personally.

I know, I know...it's a curse! Why god?! Why must you curse me with this face, chiseled marble of a greek god! These rolls of extra weight betray the plenty of my Kingdom!

But in all seriousness, it's just been slightly traumatic for me. There are plenty of women out there who are more then happy to be 'just friends', just not the ones I wanted to be just friends.

*Brings wrist up to forehead*

"No, no, do not waste your pity upon me. I, who have what most men would gladly amputate a limb for, must bear this burden of being sooooo desirable."

Naw, I know I'm blessed and I am grateful, nor am I saying that being female puts a person into a specific category with me. That might actually be the source of these recent, particular problems, I actually *do* treat women like people first...hmmm.

*Clicks on The Jersey Shore for some pointers*
