<p>I like keeping members of the opposite sex as friends, and maybe sometimes just a tad more (although it never reaches the range of romantic relationship), but I never admit it because I don’t find it necessary at the moment.
Plus whenever I like someone just a bit, I always have a way in the future of telling myself that I was just being silly and foolish. If I did like someone, it would be for the heart, intellect, and warmth of the person, not the physical appearance. And I have, although I’ve never admitted it to the person or my friends.
Also, I don’t look for relationships. I don’t say things like, “omfgoossh ive neva hadz a date in mah lyff i needa get onee!11” simply because I don’t believe in the phrase, “getting” someone. Perhaps I am overly critical of this phrase, but it seems to me to be implying that people are objects that can be bought off of the shelf like grocery items. It also tells me that the person who says that phrase wants a bf/gf purely for the purpose of having someone with the title “boyfriend/girlfriend,” rather than true love for the person. I think that’s cheap and repulsive. In my opinion it’s like chaining a member of the opposite sex to you purely so that you can express your lust for that person and perform whatever moves of “affection,” rather than actually mutually bonding with that person truly because of affection and using physical shows of affection to show that you love that person in the truest way.
I’m sorry if I don’t sound very normal to you. I’ve been known to not be normal. And I post this without the intention of conflicting with anyone so if we have conflicting opinions that’s okay. This is just how I see it and I guess I would be fine if only myself and my own little mind supported this idea. That’s when the world of dreams is so much better than reality and sleeping is so much better than being aware of that disappointing reality. :)</p>
