Ah well, it was bound to happen--yet another girl wants to be "just friends" with me. What makes this particular incident extra special is the fact that we haven't even met yet. So basically, based on an exchange of a few casual emails and four photos, this girl has deemed me "awesome" and total friend material. Okay, seriously, how ugly am I that I've been relegated straight to the friend status without even a face-to-face meeting? Anyway, why would someone be on a dating website to be looking for friends--the site has the word Cupid in it--you know, that mythological Roman god of love in all it's various forms?? Okay, not that, how about that little chubby blonde dude who looks like a giant baby and flies all around carrying a bow and arrow that, supposedly, possesses the magical ability to instantaneously make people fall in love? Was she confused or oblivious to this reference when making her profile and taking the "compatibility" tests? WTF??
I love the "just" part, as well. You can't say, I'm looking for friends, it has to be just friends. As if the just is really needed in there to further clarify the fact that there's no way in hell my tubby ass will ever be your girlfriend, thanks. I get it. Saying "let's be friends" pretty much encapsulates everything you're trying to say, which is essentially "I'm not attracted to you but I think you're really funny so let's be buddies." Friends, fine. Just friends--asshole.
I'm off to a great start with this, aren't I?
