Fair warning, this is not all pleasant n' peppy as the song I referenced in my subject line. It's more of...well I think ragey is a bit much but it is a massive vent of frustration on my part. It has been said many times how extremely frustrating love can be. Especially in the case of when folks fall head over heels for you yet you don't feel the same way n' cant reciprocate or when it is you that falls but the person you long for is not interested. The past few years, I have had guys fall for me. Not just in a flirty way but they have been all like all I think of is you n' all that. All three times hard feelings were had event though I've stated over n' over again that I am straight and that I have no desire to have any sexual relations with another dude. Recently though, it's been real bad with this one person to the point I feel I should just drop all communications with him. I try to be friendly but there just as to be a select few that feel that being friendly means oh you must be open to getting a little frisky with me. No!! That is not what I view as being friendly. Look, I've stated many times that I really don't have a thing against gays. I really don't. It's not my thing but all I ask is that be respected. That's all I ask. I'm not gonna try n' forcefully change anyone so I expect the same thing in return. No matter how much you try, you're not gonna turn me gay. Forget all the tired excuses of oh it's just online, it doesn't matter or you'll never know unless you try. It matters to me. N' I don't wanna try it, not even once. Am I really gonna have to put a big disclaimer response every time a guy contacts me that says look, First off I am straight, if you're not, that's fine with me so long as you don't do anything to force gay on me. I can be a real good friend but you have to respect me for who I am if you're gonna get equal respect from me. It is as simple as that. I hate to vent stuff like this but it's just so frustrating at times. Perhaps the biggest source of my frustration is my question of why can't the young ladies I've fallen for in the past n' even now feel the same way toward me as three random dudes I've never met in person n' quite frankly, because of their obvious lack of respect for who I am, I kinda don't ever wanna meet in person. That's saying a lot coming from someone like me who's more n' more eager these days to make new friends to make up for such an anti-social past.
