Understanding Men Has Gotten More Difficult........

Situation 1.)...A couple of weeks ago, I was surprised that this "gentleman" was quite consistent with his email responses, where he is NOT good at, or not good to be at all. He is a friend of a friend. At one point, he was also being teased with me, but I didn't see any progress with that, maybe because he is not really a good partner material, or he is just happy-go-lucky and/or not really ready for another relationship at all. To me, that was perfectly fine. Being that he is a friend of a friend, I kinda just gave him what I thought he wanted and deserved, since he is nice anyway. Oh well, to my surprise, his usually 3-liner emails had turned into paragraphs, and suddenly opened up a bit, so I just took it that at least, he feels more comfortable being a friend. He mentioned something that I looked great, and that I should not really worry about working out, and I thanked him for that. But get this one: when I ended my last email to him with nice words such as "THANK YOU FOR BEING FRIENDLY"...that's the last time I heard from him.

Situation 2.)Another friend of mine (he used to be an active FFF member and he may be reading this blog of mine offline) is dating someone nice and is happy about his lovelife at this point. We spoke to each other not too long ago, and we kept each other posted with what's new with us. Being comfortable with him, and vice-versa, I usually just like being myself, the straightforward, candid, but serious (although I could crack a joke once in a while) person that I really am. And so, I told him, that if I don't find that "promised special someone" by Valentine's Day, (if his sweetie pie is not available)is it okay if I borrow him just for that day?...Chiwawas! I must have surprised him with that casual statement, but I was even more shocked at his response. He goes: " Do you have a secret crush on me? "...I tell you, that really got me, and for a few seconds, I was speechless! Wheeeww! I did not expect that, and that made me blushed from where I was . But I regained my poise, and managed to say"What's wrong with dating friends?" Ay!ay!ay!

You see, dealing with men can really be baffling. Sometimes I don't know where to draw the line. I guess, there is really a very thin line between love and friendship, and the way I see it:I COULD BE BITING MORE THAN I COULD CHEW..

What can I say? Hay Buhay!...Parang Life!...

"THANK YOU FOR BEING FRIENDLY"...that's the last time I heard from him.

hahaha if you were to read into this line a lot.

Possibilities could range from he isn't sure what he really is to you or could want more than friendship and disappointed that you haven't declared a direct interest in being more than friends.
He could also be too busy or lazy to reply.

The sign that he is opening up more than usual meaning at least he trusts you big time and feels comfortable to talk with you and find you mentally stimulating that he kept replying to you until the last letter.....

Despite this I sure hope he persist to keep in touch so we've a better idea how important you are to him Ate Elz.

"What's wrong with dating friends?"

Nothing wrong with it at all.
People like to assume otherwise.
Sometimes when we make friends with the opposite seks, the friendship
leads to gossip amongst others and intrigas.
Call it make-beliefs or what have you.

i guess your special someone isn't one from them...i would rate the situation as....i would find someone truly with a purpose, if he persists, even with the words that friendship is only there...he stays and keeps you company despite the many times you invoke that there can only be friendship and nothing greater...or that he can be blunt and candid to say, "yeah we can be friends alright but you don't have to push it, it's my choice that am here and am enjoying with you!"...

Oh, Janey! you are so, so, soooooo...SMART!...I cannot read minds, and I can receive and interpret "wrong signals"...In short, I am not perfect!..For this reason, I prefer MEN who are straightforward, WALA NANG PATUMPIK-TUMPIK at PADAPLIS-DAPLIS..Straight to the point, eka nga...Susme!

Ako naman kasi, pag sinabing "friends", eh di "friends"...Walang malisya yan...I could be in the same room with a male friend and not think malicious about it.

Hello Elz, just wanted to let you know that even though I haven't been active in posting in your blogs these days, I still have the same wish that I always had for you...to find the right man who truly deserves you and that profound love in your heart. You have a lot to offer Elz, I hope that the lucky guy will make you as happy as you will make him. I love you sis, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, and in my heart always. Take good care and please bear with me...I know I have lots of catching up to do...and I will.

situation1 - ate elz ... did u send him a signal that he is going to be busted? ... if so, maybe it was just a defense mechanism on his part ... to possibly mislead you that he is not courting you and he is just being friendly

Malu, sweetie pie, like I said before, I can tell if a man is ready to at least give relationship another good try, and I did not see it from that guy, so why waste time and energy? At least, he seemed good enough to be a friend. And probably, you are right, about him being defensive. The thing is, he actually HAD a chance, and he didn't know it....Sanay yata siya na ang babae ang nagpaparamdam sa kanya...

Gosh! you are so smart too, you know! ...But who am I to confront him about it, when in fact, he is dating someone at this point? ANG HIRAP NAMAN YATA NYAN!

The men I've met are very demanding in the sense that I always have to guess what they thinking but 1 thing for sure men feel insecurity as deeply as women....they just don't talk about it, thats the thing that makes them difficult to understand.

I think I know these two guys that you mentioned above. The second one I think he has a crush on you, and he just say the other way around ha ha ha > Or maybe he was just kidding, so just take it as a joke only, and don't take it seriously. Maybe you should have asked him if he had a crush on you instead? Wadyahthink? he he he

Members of the other gender will never understand.
It seems to be tradition: men cannot understand women, and women cannot understand men. In our own funny way, we try so hard to understand them, and then, in frustration, we simply give up and call them sirauls. Or, as ladies, we tell the men they are from the planet Mars, which is a long way to travel without asking for directions.
