Platonic Possibilities

There is an ongoing debate as to whether or not guys and girls can really be 'just friends'. I read an article the other day on yahoo explaining how to have a relationship, and still have friends of the opposite sex. It was repetitive and pretty lame...basically saying you have to keep the lines of communication open and be honest. And if your other half is not okay with the friendship, you should put your relationship first. I find it sad that people should have to be told this...seems like a common sense kind of thing to me. 

Anywho...I've never had many female friends. They tend to be catty and bitchy, so I have my select few, leaving the rest to be guys. Which is probably why I had to write my previous blog. My standards are pretty high, and its very rare that I come across a male friend who meets them. That may sound conceited, but the fact is...I'm not going to settle. I've done it before and look where it got me! 

I'd like to consider myself a good friend. Always there to listen/talk/give a helping hand, whatever it is my friend needs. Unfortunately, some take that the wrong way and think more into it than is really there. As long as they can accept I just want to be their friend, there's no problem. 

Communication is important in any relationship; whether it be friends, family, etc. As long as both parties are clear on where the friendship stands, and can accept it...there should be no problem. 

Granted...my dad is probably right, one person may want more than just friendship, but they have to decide if they can settle with just being platonic friends. Otherwise, it's not going to work. 

Ok this is lame so I'll stop rambling :)

Just not that into you...at all

Here's the deal guys...I'm tired of wasting my energy worrying about how to let you down without hurting your feelings. So take notes, and don't take it too personally. 

I'm not into playing games, and I'm not one, so don't try to play me. What you see is what you get. If you ask me when I'll come see you and I don't commit or don't respond in a timely fashion, thats not because I'm busy, it's because I'm trying to find a nice way of say 'it ain't gonna happen'.

Just because I might smile and be a little flirty, that doesn't mean I want you in any other way than a friend. If you know me at all, you'd know I'm flirty. Don't take friendliness the wrong way. Makes things awkward. 

If I really just don't give you the time of day, I would Hope that's pretty obvious, but some of you are totally oblivious and only see what you want to see. When I say I'll call, and don't...please just take the hint. 

Stop trying and just accept we're only gonna be friends. If I'm interested, I'll let you know. Until then back off, you're driving me nuts. I'd like to stay friends, but if you really just can't get the picture, I'll gladly draw it out for you.

Thanks! Needed to get that off my chest :)

Dirty Work

Update...all has been well, for the most part. Reconciled with some, said goodbye to others, but overall I've been content. Until this morning...

Please tell me why my dad has my mom give me an intervention speech before work? I mean does he really want those drivers to die as I'm driving to the office? Because I tend to be aggressive when I'm mad. 

She says they're worried I'm not eating enough and not getting the proper nutrients that my body needs. She wants to schedule an appointment for me with a doctor. Great!...Well thank you, I know my appetite hasn't been normal for months now, but does that really make me anorexic?! Apparently dad seems to think I am...Awesome! Way to increase my anxiety, which just so happens to decrease my appetite! 

I'm lethargic because I enjoy knitting in the evenings, instead of going to the gym...hmm...

Thank you for bringing up the one thing I miss the most in my life. You want me to workout, but yet I'm too thin? Fascinating! 

The kicker...ready?...Mom comes into the office with DONUTS, seriously people?! Apparently, it's really dad who is concerned (which is true). Mom lets me eat when I'm hungry and lets it go when I'm not, which is how it should be. I am an adult and know my own body. Why can't he do his own dirty work? He has to send mom?! Bless her heart...I do feel bad for getting upset with her. 

I need out of this fish bowl I'm living in! :(
