Baloney! Throughout my life I've cultivated friends of both sexes and all age ranges and now enter old age absolutely blessed at having known and been friends with so many. To arbitrarily restrict yourself from personal interaction based on the parameter you evidence in just one sentence is so totally self-defeating. Cheers!

You grow friends, that's interesting. I'm not saying you can't have friends, or even contact or hang out with them, however the circumstances and context should be altered or at least taken into partial consideration. Does it turn you on when you show up for a date and the person you are interested in is having a 1 on 1 conversation with some hot somebody else that they claim is just their friend? A serious relationship should involve thought and action or inaction with direct regards to the emotions of whom you are interested in, this works both ways. If you take no consideration and plan on just informing the other side that your "just friends" it doesn't give much merit or basis for the person to trust you based on just words. Social interaction is and healthy just don't lose sight of your potential partners potential perspective, and sacrafice isn't a controlling factor when you have the option to just walk away.

I can't rep you anymore...too soon.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Are you a man? Be a man, then, dammit.
