First of all, I quite dislike the expression because it paints women as gray blobs who have no personality of their own and are just carbon copies, which couldn't be farther away from the truth. I've had a few bad experiences with this whole concept. Back to the days when I pursued romantic relationships (so like three months ago ), guys who took interest in me always seemed to be think I'd be profound and deep 100% of the time just because sometimes I enjoy intellectual activities such as debating.
When in fact I'm just your regular teenager girl with a quite mundane tastes for most things. I don't really like being deep all the time. I enjoy much more company of people who I can be myself with and this whole thing has put me off dating for the moment. The "not like most girls" mentality seems quite prevalent between teenager boys and young adult guys and unfortunately I'm always thrown into that role, and I can't be bothered to keep playing it.
That said, I did find a really nice guy who I got closer to recently and I think it has been a wonderful experience insofar because I can be silly. He can see both sides of my personality and he doesn't think less of me because I happen to have a long list of fictional husbands (and all of them are tall, dark and brooding, who doesn't love morally questionable handsome people amirite).
I don't think of dating him for the sole reason that I've come to the conclusion I really don't like dating as of now, not even in the optimal circumstances for it to happen.
So actually this is a thread to say I'm getting along well with this dude and I very much like him but still don't wanna date, which I think it's okay. I'm young and I won't settle unless I'm 500% sure that's what I want.
A cheer for friendship with benefits.
