why is it that a male and a female cannot keep company with one another without people thinking there's something more than friendship in'ol'ed?... I''e heard it time and time again and it shows no signs of letting up... it seems no matter the age, high school to college graduate, it happens anyways... I'm tired of the "So, what's up between you two?"... it makes me uncomfortable to e'en talk to anyone of the opposite sex, let alone the problems I already ha'e with con'ersation... why has it come down to people thinking something must be going on between two people e'en if they're 1st time acquaintances just con'ersing?... and why don't they do the same when it's between two people of the same sex?... just goes to show what people think is important nowadays... I belie'e that before it took just a bit more than a 1 minute relay for there to be "something going on"... this puts undue pressure on those lonely souls who are reminded day-in and day-out that they're still alone... it makes 'em think e'eryone must ha'e a certain someone in their li'es... I really don't want a part of it... it makes me want to stay away from any relations with the opposite sex... I just don't want to hear the inferences... why is it so hard to imagine a male and a female being just friends?... friendships should not be so gender-biased...
