Recently, I have been reading a lot from the relationships section of reddit (r/relationships). There’s something satisfying about reading about people’s questions and problems!
Today, one story took my interest.
My [24F] boyfriend [24M] is upset because he thinks that my guy friend [25M] likes me. How do I assure boyfriend that he has nothing to worry about even though he is kind of right?

In a nutshell, it’s about a guy friend who’s a bit too close to a girl who has a boyfriend.
It dawned on me, this guy friend is a) looking for some company and b) is desperate for a girlfriend.
AND THEN I REALISED that this is what I am turning into! A guy, while desperate for a relationship, who fucks up in a massive way that will have untold consequences.
I’ve convinced myself that the only way to stop becoming this type of guy is to stop wanting a relationship, and be happy about being independent, but not necessarily alone. I’m creepy enough that I know I will fuck up anything resembling a relationship.
But at the end of the day the sad and undeniable truth is that I am turning into a monster. Change must occur before it’s too late.
As one commenter said “Men and women can’t be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.” What utter bullshit. Men and women can be friends given a generous amount of time and intelligent conversation.
More tasty stories from r/relationships later.
