Female friends
One week ago: we’re discussing women matters at a gathering, when I decide to mention that I don’t actually *have* any female friends. Pat, a friend’s sister who’s known me for about 14 years, jumps in:
— “What do you mean you don’t have any female friends?”
— “Well, just that. There are no female friends. Just girls you never got into bed with.”
— “You mean you’ve never relied on a woman like you do on a man?”
— “I mean I’ve never had a relationship of any meaningful form with a girl I was not interested in shagging.”
— “That’s bullshit! What about me? Are you saying I’m not your friend?”
— “Oh, that’s not what I meant. I was talking about girls I ask to go out with me, to bars… or movies, you know?”
— “You used to take me to the movies!”
Foot, meet mouth. Mouth: All these years, and you have not learned ANYTHING??
— “Um… Pat… about those times…”
— “What about them?”
— “Er… I was kind of… hitting on you.”
She stares at me wide eyed and slackjawed. Her husband erupts in raucous laughter and her twin kids are running around the house screaming and poking at each other.
And I have just found another subject I should not discuss while drunk.

Entonces… cuando nos juntábamos tú yo y Citlali, era porque…
!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only worse thing than getting rejected is getting rejected without her ever knowing she’s doing it.
Maybe we should introduce some formal way of unequivocally showing interest, like a dance or something… never mind.
hahah thats beautiful. thanks sergio *hug*
LOL. I like your idea Gabriel. We could take our queue from the animal kingdom. We could strut about, puff out our chests and envelop you with our calls of love. Wait a minute… that is EXACTLY how we are doing it already!
The only problem is that we males lack anything really “flashy”, you know, like peacocks’ feathers. I don’t think that showing any of the ‘plumage’ we have is going to attract and of the ladies either. I am sure there are people out there that have tried to pick up a gal or two by adding their ‘plumage’ to the aforementioned dance. I would venture to say that the only thing that got them was arrested. Well, now that I really think about it, maybe we should just make some sort of flash card we can use…
I totally understand where you are coming from Sergio. I spent 99% of my ‘dating’ career having women act exactly like that. I was beginning to think I was the only one. Maybe I should have kept my plumage put away…. (jk)
I got a good smile indeed…
It really is nice to know you are not the only messed up guy in the world.
I think I have gone out with girls that I am not interested in, but at some point I “played” with the idea. So maybe that playing led me to say “no f***ing way!, argh!… let’s be friends!”, or something like “Hmmm… maybe… just maybe”.
Me and my graphic mind… Good times.
Hm… So when I go to Guadalajara we won’t be loitering those comic bookstores and coffee shops and movie theaters together? Tell me, Sergio, before I buy my plane ticket :-p
Hahahah! We will, kari. I can’t promise not to engage in suggestive sexual innuendo, though =)
Hahaha! Holy Cow!
I just believe, he’s telling the truth.
Damn.
Sergio, ha ha ha nice! Something tells me that you would have a great time hanging with the people I work with.
You crack me up man. I know exactly where you are coming from. I would occasionaly bring up the fact that guys *typically* don’t “hang out” with girls they wouldn’t shag. It usually gets them mad, but I thought I was alone in that battle. I now feel more at peace knowing I’m not/wasn’t the only one. Thank you.
It’s like watching a train crash in slow mo eh?
But what you say is indeed true. I’ll throw out the ladder theory again to anyone who hasn’t read it yet:

It’s true.
I still can’t stop laughing and I read it two days ago.
I have to agree with my tocayo “EL Hector”, I always play with the idea and sometimes, I get in to troubles for doing more than play.
Thanks for sharing your story!
=)

“I mean I’ve never had a relationship of any meaningful form with a girl I was not interested in shagging.”
I think you misspelt: “…I’ve never MET a girl…”
