You know, I wish I could stay in platonic relationships with guys much more than what actually happens. I mean I do have my relationships with guys that are completely friend basis, but more often than not, it’ll be more, or at least the other party hopes it will. Even though it happens pretty often, it still takes me by surprise. I get along with guys really well, and I just would like to be friends with guys. I’m not one to get into relationships so trying to progress to more than a platonic relationship is slightly detrimental.

I have to set one thing straight. If I’m not immediately attracted to you, like from our initial meeting, we probably will never be. I won’t be able to develop feelings to match those you have for me. 

There are so many guys that I see as great friend potential. I never look at guys and think of boyfriend material nowadays because I really don’t care for a boyfriend. So I’ll be friendly when they come up to me to talk and everything. As long as he’s not an asshole, he and I will be able to get along. 

I friendzone most of my guy friends. Well, actually, I friendzone almost all of my guy friends. I apparently don’t make it obvious enough, and the guy will start making moves. Maybe it’s because I’m a naturally flirtacious person, but they will start spitting game. Lines, innuendo, and fantasies come out of nowhere. I’m one to laugh them off the first time or so, because I like jokes. I can handle sexual jokes, so I just figure that’s what they’re thinking, too. They just have a sexual joke and want to tell me for the fact that they know I won’t flip out or be completely awkward, but it continues. Not only continues, it gets dirtier, more serious, and to the point where I’m questioning his motives.

It surprises me because I just expect this great friendship. Obviously, it’s not possible because I can’t be “just friends” with every guy I meet. They’ll try to make some move or hit on me. I’m really getting sick of it though. I just like to have friends! Nothing more.

My brother had warned me about this. He told me even though they seemed like a friend, there might be more on the agenda. No matter what I expect a guy to be like, he may have hidden motives, and I really need to be aware of that. I naively brushed it off, but it’s been brought to my attention that unless I’m completely and utterly sure of their intentions, I can’t be too careful.
