DO I FALL FOR FRIENDS?

"I'm ok with gay people, but I could never live with one."

"She's gay? WTF I changed in front of her."

"Oh, it makes sense, she was flirting with me the whole time."

Ladies. Stop. Flattering. Yourselves.

Do I have beautiful friends? ABSOLUTELY. Do I want to bang them? NO! I have very realistic expectations about the girls I can have (well... sometimes), but this 100% includes knowing I will not even attempt at flirting with a friend. I for some reason have been able to set clear boundaries with my besties. Sure, if we aren't super close and I'm drunk, I might make a move, but I fully respect my friendships and never want to do anything to jeopardize that. Honestly, I would have to say I am pretty lucky to not catch hard feelings for my female friends. Sometimes, I'll have a crush and they end up becoming my friend, which I then back off. Those situations are a little harder for me, but I'm not going to harass someone I know doesn't want me.

Now to talk about the "changing in front of me" situations. People jump to the worst conclusions, so I'll start by saying- I'M NOT A PERV. If anything, I'm staring out of admiration because women's bodies are beautiful. Not everything has to be sexual. It's curiosity, maybe even jealousy. And to be honest, I stare at men's bodies too. The human body is amazing, and I'm just looking, end of story. Trust me, I'm a nurse- I see a lot of naked body parts, it doesn't even phase me anymore. So please stop assuming every gay person that sees you half naked is trying to f*ck you with their eyes. People who get freaked out by changing in front of gay people, or sleeping next to them, either think too highly of themselves or are worried they might actually fall in love with us ;)

I also would just like to say to ANY girl I went to high school with, and like 98% of the girls my age in college- I was not attracted to you. Not that you weren't beautiful, it's just that I know what I like and that happens to be women more mature than me. As I've gotten older, I've become more attracted to women my own age; but sorry to anyone who ever thought I was into them while they were in their teens, because you were dreaming. I like my girls like some fine-aged wine.
