Men should come with instructions... Bea: How to read this one?
A good friend of mine confessed he's had a thing for me since he met me 5 years ago. I was then married, of course, off limits. Now I'm not, so we kinda sorta went out when I was in his town a month ago. It was "just for fun", "no strings attached" and that's how I took it. Now he's calling every week and he asked me why I never call or write to tell him how I am. He also said he misses me and that he would drive a few hours just to come and see me.
I really don't get it. What does he want? I probably shouldn't try to think much about it and I certainly don't need any emotional turmoil in my life right now, but when a guy says no strings attached and then calls you with so much insistence... Oh well! I'm just curious.
Re: Men should come with instructions... JerniganReturns: It's not uncommon for either a man or a woman to project an aura of being more casual and carefree than they actually are. In fact, I'd say most people do this. A few times in my recent "dating" past---I would call it hanging out, really---I was told, "Oh, I'm not looking for anything serious!" When someone announces this, sometimes the opposite is the case, naturally.
I don't think your friend's behavior sounds so confounding. Sounds pretty ordinary to me.

Ha ha ha... Oh dear God. Of course I'm not even thinking that. BTW, he expects me to call him soon and I'm here thinking "Well, if he wants something, I'm gonna play hard to get." -- Now, I'm the sick one... Really sick. Hah!
Re: Men should come with instructions... Beren: There are a few books buy a guy named Warren Farrell (no, not Will Farrell!) that serve reasonably well as instruction manuals. "The Myth of Male Power" is a good one. The title's kind of a put-off, but the material inside is pretty good.
