Two weird incidents tonight:
Again I was with J. A girl (G) approached us…
G: Girlfriend mo?
J and RJ: NO!
And again with A…
A: So you’re courting RJ?
J: HUH?
A: Actually, I thought she was your girlfriend already.
ANUH? >_<
Can’t a single guy and a single girl be just friends? Ya know… hang out, eat dinner together without them being more than just friends?
Most of my friends are guys. You see, when I was in high school, there were only five of us girls in the classroom. And there were 22 guys. THE HELL! THE HORROR!!! It was not an all together pleasurable experience but it shaped who I am today. And today, most of my friends are guys because most of my interests are things guys are interested in.
For one, I love fantasy, action, sci-fi movies and other stuff (not Star Trek though). I can quote lines from Lord of the Rings, the Star Wars Trilogy, and the X-Men Trilogy. “Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answer?” Then, of course, most of the people I hang out nowadays are guys I met through DotA. All of them, save for two, are guys. And then there’s friends that I met through blogging-related and internet events. Most of them, needless to say, are guys.
Personally, I like hanging out with guys more because well, they’re easier to talk to. Most of the time, they say what they mean, and they mean what they say. There’s not much drama involved when you are with guys. Wala’y libog (in Bisaya libog translates to confusion, not lust, OK?)!!! And guys, I think, have a better idea of what fun and funny are. Hehe…
The downside of course, is other guys think one of the guys I am with is my boyfriend. Or they simply see me as another guy. A guy actually asked me last Saturday why my bag was so girly. Huhu… And yet another guy manhandled me by rudely grabbing my shoulder to get my attention. HUHU… Another downside to this is some of these guys’ girlfriends think either I’m out to steal their boyfriend or I’m their boyfriend’s yaya/taga-bantay. ANUH?!
Labo na ba?
The point is, can’t a guy and a girl be friends and just be friends??? I think we can… but well, what do you think?
