I read HLF's posts, and it just makes me think how, in those situations, men are in a game that was made up by women and it's only the creators of the game who know the rules. I don't think that relationships should be a chasing thing. Love is one of the most precious and rare commodities, and people act so stupid waiting for signals and acting coy and not being honest with their feelings, preferring to "hook up" rather than go for something important. In my opinion, romantic relationships should spawn from friendships. Not some random hot girl you see across the street or in a bar or a club. Get to know someone, for crying out loud! Then you won't have to play those stupid games. You'll already have the basis for a sound relationship. Of course, girls seem to have that problem of not being able to develop feelings for friends. The best friend guy becomes the shoulder to cry on and the receptive ear for stories about her guy problems. The guy deludes himself into thinking that maybe one day she'll see him for the perfect guy for her that he knows he is. But she never does, and everything crashes and burns in a fiery ball. Yeah, I've been there in the past, and, yeah, I'm bitter. But that risk aside, it really is the safest way for a good relationship to bloom.

You know what, ric's right. Girls just make this too complicated by making really stupid choices. I'm so glad I don't have to worry about that kind of crap anymore.
