Hi Kaly4nia!!! Well this is a pretty good thread you initiated here in Sajha- Friends Mistaking Your Friendship...!!!! I have been in that situation several times. What I realized is that Guys and Gals can never be friends: there is always this sexual tension lies in between them. To some extend you fall under the vicinity of attraction- the attraction of opposite pole. Well, do I need to give a justification on that??? Regarding your situation, I am sure you are in a foreign land (Kaly4nia hinted me that...), and especially while you are alone, you are looking for some companionship, and you don't care who it is, either male or female. You choose randomly for friendships. You feel so happy when there is someone out there who listen to you, agree/disagree or understands you. Now the tension arises.... If it is a girl, it is OK- you don't worry about your sexual tension, unless you are that one-big L. But, if the friend is guy, then the entire scenario changes. I understand you wholeheartedly. I am assuming here that you are not attracted towards your male friend, but since you are getting close with the male friend just by chit-chat. So here you go- the scene of sexual tension between male and female. Guys have no answer for that Kaly4nia, right "Tired"? Tired, you do not fall under either of the catagory of "Honest" or "Weird" rather a "Simple guy with the Simple thinking..." Detouring Sajha!!! HD
