What I am saying is your personality is going to evolve, mature. What makes you tick right now may change. It doesn't have as much to do with having your act together as it does gaining mature perspective on life in general. We change in our 20's. I can't explain it beyond that, you just have to trust that it will happen.

What is your question ? Most people have opposite sex friends between whom there is no emotional attraction. It is perfectly normal.

This is me you're talking to


I don't have to tell you this but here you go - girls despise her and all her friends are men, so she can't hook me up with anybody


It's me after all. There's nothing that ever works in my favor with this dating nonsense

Her issues? She has a kid, so? If you two connect, ask her out, try it. you never know how it will go. You can talk yourself out of it easily.
I had an extremely similar situation present itself to me at one point. Didnt work out long term, but I liked her, and I am glad I tried getting romantic.
If you never try, and give excuses for why you shouldn't, then you will never know what could have been.

And if she doesn't want to date you, at least you will know where she stands, and can still be friends.

I'm not sure what my question is to be honest. I guess I want to know if I should pursue her, even though I'm not really sure if I'm even interested in her

Don't "shoplift the pootie" if you're not sure. There is one other person (her kid) involved, and if you go for it and it doesn't work out, you're running the risk of being a dirtbag.

Talking from experience here... There is a reason why she doesn't get along with other girls. We pick up on BS amongst ourselves pretty quick, and we don't put up with it if we're smart. Men, on the other hand... Get sidetracked if said BS-er has a vagina. It just happens this way.

If she doesn't have female friends, there is a reason. And trust me, your mom/sister/aunt/which ever close female family member you choose will pick up on that if you get serious with her.

Why would you do that? Are you still on that "any generic female will do" kick?

Do the ethical thing and do not start a relationship with someone you do not admire or respect just because it feels good to your ego.

Because women are just ridiculously petty, let's be realistic here


She is a very sweet person, I don't know why anybody would dislike her

I'm very very attracted to her appearance and personality

Why are you trying to talk yourself into getting involved with someone whose issues scare you? Someone who you're not even sure you're interested in?
