| YES ! I know exactly how it feels. I'm currently like that with someone I know, my best friend in fact. I wasn't going to tell her how I felt because she was going after another guy, and I had a breakdown because of it... she caught me offguard and asked me if I fancied her. I'm just slightly depres... |

| At least 80% of my friends are female. I don't quite understand why. Its both a blessing and a curse, because while I have a lot of female friends who I get along with generally very well, I don't have any ability to get a girlfriend >.> But back to the issue, I sometimes have acted inapropriatly, b... |

| I haven't really found TV to be a good source of how to act, since often emotions and situations are exaggerated or unrealistic. When in conversation people either dislike me or get on with me, and if I have talked to a person a few times I will generally explain that I'm blunt and don't tend to pic... |

| There is a saying: Ignorance is no excuse. However, most people will base how they treat you of how they see you. To them, you appear ret*d, we know that you arn't, but how are they to know? Its not that people are intentionally trying to be rude or hurt your feelings, its just that they don't know ... |

| lol when you throw something else into this - attraction to a close friend - it's somewhat more difficult to 'spill the beans'. I have to keep biding my time until there's little vulnerability... This is gonna be tedious and annoy the hell out of me, but I can't make that move until I'm almost damn... |

| I'm going to go against the grain here and say that I'm actually a very trusting person, probably too trusting. If someone I have known for a little while says they will do something, then I generally think that they will. However, I guess that the trust issue depends on you as a person, and is rela... |

| Me and bass noise never used to get along. This is why I used to never go to nightclubs, but at University, I went along one night because my friends were going, and I thought I might as well, because you can't really knock something until you have tried it. Noise... But I enjoyed myself... eventual... |

| A friend is someone who is there for you. A good friend is someone is there for you during both the good and bad times. I tend to have a lot of people I know, and a couple of friends. My friends are the people who if they are the problem that is causing them a lot of distress they can call me at 3 a... |

I'm told that I'm a guy who while straight, is in touch with his femanine side. Enough that I am often treated as one of the girls.... which is a very strange experia... |

| Kalister1, the thing was, it DID start as a friendship, I think. Next time I will know more about feelings to make better judgement. And now I know why I posted here. I needed someone to be brutally honest to me where my friends were being what friends are. People who tell you nice lies. :lol: Thank... |

| Never good things in a social situation, and especially not together... This is probably more of a 'tell me how you think this will end' than anything else, but all comments welcome, as always. The best place to start, of course, is the end. Because by then you know everything. But I don't have that... |
