Thanks for your reply! I agree with most of what you’re saying save for the “men and women can’t be friends” statement, which I think may be a generalization. I have numerous good male friends from back in college whom I never (and never plan on!) being romantic with, and call me naive but I truly believe that to be reciprocated. That’s a whole other debate, though. If you meant that men and women who were once romantically involved can’t be friends, that I’m slowly learning to be painfully accurate.
I think the bit I may have been less obvious about asking you, however, is “why am I being treated as the exception”? He can float around the city all friendly with every girl he’s dated / slept with since, INCLUDING the ones who have visited him from back home “ex” or “complicated”. So why is it that the guy who claims to be so “laid back” and socially comfortable is unable to treat me with the friendliness he shows to other women of his past. Could it be that I dont fawn over him? ….or could me having resisted the urge to actually sleep with him at any point during our dramatic romance have something to do with it?
