This past year has taught me a lot abt how to be just friends. First off, there’s my friendship with seminarians. Even though I’ve had crushes on a lot of them, I’ve had to push aside my feelings for the betterment of our friendship and my knowledge that yes, this guy is in the seminary and is going to be a priest. Next up, there was being at two mental health facilities. The first and third one, a community, the second one, a hospital like facility.
It all started with my friends here at Hopewell. I had (& still have, but dw, he knows) a crush on one of the guys. I friendzoned him immediately out of habit but my desires started peaking through, to the point it was obvious. However, the other one of the guys was and still is, a really good friend. He taught me how to be just friends. Here are the ways to be just friends with a guy (especially when you want more):
1) be honest with how you feel- use statements like “I feel like you don’t like me”, for example or “today I am feeling mid”
2) give them the space to talk abt whatever- even if you don’t fully understand it, or it’s a little explicit…
3) be ok with being friendzoned back.
Ok that’s it for today! More later…
