Girlfriends, or girl friends rather, are difficult to figure out sometimes. Not in the sense that I wouldn't know what they are thinking, but rather, I never know what I should be thinking. I have many friends who are girls, some closer than others, but it's amazing how when you really get to know a girl and become good friends, it's so easy to fall for them. This has happened a lot to me in my life, but I haven't dated many of my girl friends. Why? Well, it's them. I'm not sure why, but it seems to me that females generally don't want to go out with their good friends. And I'm not the only one this happens to. This happens to all my guy friends. It's something that frustrates us guys to no end. It's like you get to know a girl, and she becomes your best friend, you always have a great time with her, you talk about everything, she comes to you of all people when she has a problem, and then dates some asshole off the street (which usually happens to be the problem she comes running to you about). Sometimes I wonder if this behavior is genetic, like that other chromosome that us men don't have makes them do these weird things. I guess when I think about it though, there are girls I am friends with that I wouldn't go out with. This is mainly because I know it just wouldn't work out. One of those, it's a great friendship, but as a relationship we have nothing in common type things. Perhaps that's the way the girl friends I have and would like to date see it. While it really sucks at times, I still get to hang out with great people, and have a wonderful time. I also know my friendship with the girls will last a long time. And I suppose that's a lot more than any of their boyfriends can say.
