A Girl's Best Friend
------This is a tribute to the guys I know who have remained my "friend" over the years.
People of the world we live in today often perceive that women and men can not remain friends without having a sexual attraction. Contrary to popular belief, men and women can be friends!
I'm a junior at one of the wackiest universities in Kansas. I refuse to reveal the name of the school. Anyway other students at my school feel as if it is almost impossible for a guy and girl to hang out strictly as friends. If they ever see you hanging out together grabbing a bite to eat or catching a movie they automatically assume its a date! I sometimes can't stand that word date I mean what actually constitutes a date? Who has the authority to determine if its a date??
A few years back... well let me start when I was in high school....I knew of this guy. He was pretty popular, talented artist but like anyone else in HS he was a rebel. So I did not talk to him besides we are a couple years apart. Anyway time passed and this particular guy started "talking" to a good female friend of mine. She liked him a lot....So much she did anything for him. Well I gave her shit about talking to him because he was goin' through a divorce and had a daughter. She didn't care cause she liked him so much. Anyway since I am naturally a great person to hang around...lol.... he and I started hanging out....thats just what we did, hung out. Whenever there was a good movie showing that both of us wanted to see we would call each other up and go to the movies mind you we are friends so we always paid for ourselves. Same thing when I was hungry; I would call him up and asked him if he wanted to grab a bite to eat. Anyway this friendship went on this way for months during the summer. We were not attracted to each other. We talked about any and everything that best friends talk about. Well my female friend could not get down with this after she "caught" us together one night. It was a hilarious scene. I try to re-enact it in my mind just for a good laugh. Anyway long story short. She seen us, got pissed off and assumed I was this horrible person who was sleeping with this guy (my good friend) behind her back. Not once had we shared a intimate moment....... Females I tell you.
Well she never trusted me again so as a result I lost a friend I have known since middle school because she let a man come between us. I vowed to never let this happen again..its so ridiculous. But in spite of all that I did gain a great new best friend!! So Thank You Carlos for being the different one!! Your like a big brother I never had.
I tell you to this day I still have a problem having females as friends. They always think you want "their man." There must be something wrong with me......not!!!
