So I found something in a friend's LJ post and a comment that someone had left. I see guys complaining about this all the time and I just felt the need to repost it:
A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, 'You're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way.' This is roughly the equivalent for the guy going to a job interview and the company saying, "You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.'
I'm not sure I can say I've been in that particular situation, however. True, I've had crushes on girls who are my friends, but they've never really gone beyond crush stage (and if it did, I said something). I guess it's just ironic for those that it does happen to. `^_^
Well, back to work again!
Oh yeah, last night was cool. Scrabble at Stef's. I can't believe I came in last...of course, I wasn't using scrabble.com to finish using all my letters. Cheaters. :P Many drinks and good conversation was had. Thanks once again to Stef for feeding and watering us. :)
And to Jasmine...derka der, Mohammad Jihad!
