To the males in my life.
Please, if we're friends and work well as friends, don't ruin things by telling me you want a different kind of relationship with me. I value your friendship and the ability to talk to you. Don't betray that trust, because once you admit you like me as "more than a friend," I'm going to be more gaurded about what I say and do, since your motives are no longer sincere friendship.
If we work together, be smart. You already know that dating is a bad idea.
My desire to date waxes and wanes, I don't want to marry anytime soon, and since dating is a means to an end (the end being marriage,) your chances of getting me on an honest date are low. I enjoy hanging out, watching a movie, drinking beer, and watching sports, mostly low-energy activities usually assigned to the "boy activity" category. Don't read too much into it, I'm about as deep the guy sitting next to you at work or in class. I hate the mental mind games that some girls play and the ego smoothing they need.
If I want to go out with you, I'll probably let you know.
Oh, and un-serious flirting is ok. Always ok.
As long as I get to laugh at you.
And you can laugh at me.
And most bets are off when we're drunk.
P.S. You prob'ly think this rant is about you, don't you? It's not.
Not directed at anybody, just a randomosity. I read somewhere that a good rant once a day keeps stress levels down.
