Tuesday, August 24, 2004 at 8:49 PM What do you think? Adam and Drew bring this up a lot on the show, that males and females are never just friends, especially at a younger age, that one is initially interested in the other, but more importantly, the other isn't. This might change with age, but is definitely the rule more than the exception through the teens and early twenties.
I've had limited experience with this, but it seems true to me. But my g/f doesn't think this is true, and the way she put it, she was kind of right, that not ALL her guy friends want to bang her.
Which is true, but I think it's different when you're hanging out in a group of friends, than if you make the effort to call the person to hang out on their own, and invite them over when no one is home. Before we started dating, I'd asked her to hang out a lot, b/c I liked her, and I thought she liked me because she would always be calling me and all that, but she said it was just being friendly, she didn't like me for a really long time.
That's sort of another thing, like how guys will read into something when nothing is there. Even though I can take hints, if it wasn't really for listening to Loveline, I'd probably mistake a lot of signs as interest. But again, she says she thinks that's just me, that a lot of guys can take hints.
And two of her friends did end up asking her out, which seemed like pretty clear indicators this is at least partially true. But she has a lot more she grew up with who never made a move and she doesn't think they were interested. So, I'm wondering if A, they were, or B, Adam and Drew's theory needs honing.
