Remember that scene in Father of the Bride, when the guy gives his fiance a blender and she freaks out, thinking it's a derogatory message of how women should stay in the kitchen? I don't remember it being that difficult to talk to and understand the opposite sex when I was a child. Yet, somehow in the space of a few years our manner of communicating goes down different paths till we've stopped at opposite sides of a chasm. For some people, at least. My sister is currently having this problem and keeps coming to me.
Boy meets girl
Boy wants to be friends
Girl wants something more
Boy and girl hang out
Boy treats girl like the best thing in his world
Girl thinks boy is afraid to admit he likes her as more than a friend
They hang out every weekend, during the week, with no one else
Boy doesn't call one week
Girl wonders what she did wrong and cries
Girl is grouchy all week and cries often
Boy calls
Girl is happy
They hang out at her apartment
Boy talks to the roommate
Girl wonders what she did wrong and cries
Girl is grouchy all week and cries often
Boy calls and texts
Girl is happy
Boy texts picture he found of a turd
Girl wonders what he means-is the turd what he thinks of her? of their relationship?
Girl texts boy and says he's a moron
Boy texts girl and says she's grouchy
Girl texts and calls boy an ass
Girl is tired of being a grouchy bitch
Girl talks to sister
Sister laughs and agrees that boys are morons sometimes
Sister tells girl the boy just thought it was funny and wanted to share
Sister reminds girl of the scene in Father of the Bride
Girl asks why sister can understand boys so well
Sister says "I can be grouchy bitch and moronic ass at the same time. I can multitask like no other."
Sounds to me like boy is treating her like one of the guys. Guys hang out with each other until something they like comes along, then they disappear and guy friends don't care because they are guys. Get over him and move on, he doesn't see you as more than a friend.
