Being a friend to the opposite sex baffles me. A lot of people say that it is nearly impossible to be friends with the opposite sex without someone getting hurt on some level. One person starts to develop feelings and the other person remains friends. Or they might decide to try a different kind of relationship and more times than not, things fall apart. I'm on the fence with this. I have friends that are male who I've absolutley never considered for a romantic relationship, but that is a small percentage. If you give me a line-up of ten guys, nine out of ten of them, I will probably have liked them at one point in my life, even for a nanosecond, I've considered them. I don't know if this is normal or not, but that's how things have always been for me. I meet a boy and I consider him as an option. Then reality hits me upside the head and I come to my senses. I realize that he's too cocky. He doesn't like girls like me. He already has a girl-friend. His brother is cuter. He's a hypocrite. He doesn't have any morals. There's always something wrong with these guys. Always. Even the ones I manage to date, there's something wrong. One cared more about social power. One had anger issues. One couldn't overcome addiction. One was socially inept. One didn't understand. One couldn't tough things out. I just wish I could figure this all out sooner. Boys. Men. Whatever. They need things to spelt out for them. If you want something out of them, just ask. Beating around the bush, doesn't get you anywhere except behind the bush. I have no idea where this entry was going. I just felt like writing.
