I was always bummed about that.<br /><br />I still have the unfulfilled need for a close guy friend! Someone I can just call when I want to get away from girl drama or when I need to be held. Now I am 26, and I think I just will have to let that dream die! <br /><br />But in College, I just wanted to gather all guys into one room and say, "It's ok to hang out with a girl you do not have romantic interest in. It's called FRIENDS!!!" :P <br /><br />Sorry I know this post has nothing to do with your intended purpose for this blog, but it related to this particular post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-29137709864401737782010-10-09T18:35:00.896-07:002010-10-09T18:35:00.896-07:00ClistyB:

In the young unmarried life where I live, the <i>really</i> good guys hang out with the intention of pairing off - not just to be friends. And, due to my own choices, callings, and just making life simpler for people around me, I fall into that category. We don't hang out for long. We make friends and then date (and once you ask someone on a date, you can't really ever 'hang out' again) until we break it off... and then, most of the time, we find new friends.<br /><br />If I wanted to see a movie, there are girls I could call... but I've dated almost every single one. Or now they're married. So either they would get the wrong idea and say yes, or they would get the wrong idea and say no. I just don't watch movies anymore. For things other than movies, I find it's much easier to try to find a date (which sometimes takes me back to square one).<br /><br />Thanks for your comment / question. I hope you were able to find something here to help your friend, as well.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552740645279057549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-55484144391802200762010-10-08T15:58:26.892-07:002010-10-08T15:58:26.892-07:00Im curious, do you have friends that are girls and...Im curious, do you have friends that are girls and are just that, friends? Where both of you know its not a date, but just friends seeing a flik/trying out a restaurant, etc. If you wanted to see a particular movie are there any girls you could call up on a whim? <br />These are just thoughts running through my head as I read through the posts.ClistyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559882714822787871noreply@blogger.com
