va3atc's Journal: platonic female friend

I seem to have a ton of platonic female friends and acquire them much more frequently then other folks.

        I always thought I was being sucked into being a mentor but mentors don't get told repeatedly stuff that is irrelevant.

        Theres one platonic female friend I have which repeatly keeps telling me her exact marks which everytime which I reply with something to the effect of "you don't need to keep telling me your grades; a friend can tell if your giving it your best and thats all that ever matters". But regardless of my comment she continues to do so.

        Then there when she tells me about her firance when I flattly outright tell her I really don't care. But she contiunes to remind me and other people about how controlling her firance is and even vented last year about him not coming down to see her.

        This is after I met her on the bus a few times, given her rides since then, etc. She clearly knew I was hitting on her (before I new she had someone).

        Though even after she dropped the bomb about mentioning a significant other then I switched to considering her a friend. But obviously some girls don't know how to be friends without being platonic except for one lady which I hope she comes back again before I'm finished school.

        My idea of a friend (girl without being a signifant other) is someone you can spend time together chatting (see social life in dictionary) elsewhere besides school and maybe even playing some sports for fun (see exercise in dictionary)

        Thing is in todays society once a girl in North America gets someone else they obsess over that one individual. When they do this they can't go out with another guy for fun without fear from the significant other that she might decide to cheat (look up net for smartass comment)

        Than added to that the anti-social blanket the net offers (no talking online isn't social).

        In the 21st century when you ask a lady for her phone number, she hands you her MSN screen-name! When you talk to her online you'll find it will go something like:

Girl - Hi
Guy - Greetings
Girl - Whats up?
Guy - Not much (continue rambling)
Girl - ok
Guy - Tries to continue conversation
Girl - o (pronouced oooh)

Unless you really have something to talk about it usually goes pretty boring.

But nonetheless as you talk to her over MSN you find it takes almost five minutes for her to reply. Then when you get to school the next day you see her gabbing away on MSN in the classroom in the corner of the room with six pages of contacts, talking to eight people at once and wonder how she carries on any intilligent conversation with one individual.

        Then if you are ever interested in a lady and try the usual motions to tell her she just outright stops talking to you.

        Maybe this dude is right and all slashdotters are only ever going to have platonic female friends.
