what do you do when people start to mistake your guy friend as your something-more-than-a-friend?
maybe i've got this look that makes people think that i can't do anything on my own thus, i need a guy. maybe i'm too gullible. maybe it's a guy thing not to care about inconsequential matters (they won't actively do anything to treat the problem). whatever it is, it's annoying as heck.
people start making almost inappropriate comments that can easily be overlooked but seriously, it gets you thinking. "OMG do they think we're together??" and then the moment passes and it's too late to correct the situation. things go back to normal. but not really coz they start giving up their seats so that the both of you can sit together and then they talk amongst themselves purposely leaving you out of the conversation so that the both of you can have some time together and then they start asking you where [insert name of fake boyfriend] is whenever you're spotted without him around. it's almost as if they brought up that mildly inappropriate comment that first time as confirmation and because you ignored it, it's confirmed. "OMG WE'RE NOT TOGETHER!!" you would have loved to scream but then...that's just rude...
so what do you do when the people talking aren't people you know personally? even worse, what if the people talking are people you know whom didn't want to talk to you about it so instead went around spreading suspicions? do you wait for the phase to pass? stop seeing your fake boyfriend? get a real boyfriend?
word of the day: "[Being drunk in the middle of the day] is intoxicating. It's like having a secret."

I totally know what that feels like. It's SO bloody annoying. I got it in college with this guy that I had gotten close to. My classmates would always tease us and when we planned to go for a movie, they would purposely make themselves unavailable. How annoying can that get? But anyway, I held my head high and just ignored them. Besides, I'm sure they knew the truth that there was nothing more than friendship there. To hell with what they say or think! It's my blardee life!! That's what I think and feel.
ya...well...i lost a friendship coz of these silly little things. which kinda, again, gets me wondering if guys and girls really can maintain a platonic relationship without ever having to deal with the 'romantic factor' EVER. is it possible? a lot of my friendships either start with romantic intentions or end with it. u think?
