I had quite an
interesting discussion with my mother today. We talked about dating
and intersexual friendships. The latter was an especially intriguing
point of discussion.
When it comes to forming non-romantic relationships with females, I feel in two minds about my own ability to do so. Somehow - and I have no idea why - I still have the mentality that women exist only to serve as potential partners. It’s as if the only type of relationship I could and should form with them is a romantic one. And yet, funnily enough, I’ve only ever been able to form non-romantic relationships with them.
Looking at it from the outside, I wouldn’t be surprised if most people found that funny. It is quite funny, admittedly. And at least equally odd. I’d imagine this phenomenon isn’t very common, but then, I’m only speculating again.
Either way, I wonder how most women would react to such a revelation. Either not very positively or with mixed feelings, I’m guessing. On top of that, I wonder if telling that to a woman would ruin my chance of getting a girlfriend out of her. Of course assuming the chance was ever there in the first place.
I’d really better stop myself from thinking about these things. My situation is bad enough as it is, and I’m certainly not helping it by worrying over purely hypothetical scenarios. If only I could stop myself.
Christ, this has turned into a book of complaints, hasn’t it?
