Opposite Sexpinions

I had convinced my crush (?) man-interest (?) guy I've sorta been seeing (?) labeless boy to watch He's Just Not That Into You because I wanted his opinion on the movie from a guy's perspective. I didn't ask my guy friends because I've come to realize that a lot of my boys are quite girly in their thinking process. It's not a bad thing, but I wanted a man's man's opinion. Someone with an ego, someone who's had experience, and someone who's not afraid to tell me the truth.

I had told him that the movie makes it seem like there could only be one of two scenarios. Either he's into you or he's not. I asked whether that was true and he said, "No, it's more complicated than that." Whew. So ladies, there's hope after all! Men do have depth! They're not just simple, mindless creatures that were put onto this Earth to frusturate the hell out of us! ...Or were they?

We then went onto talking about relationships (not ours, never ours cause God forbids) and he gave me a scenario. "Say a couple were on a break and the girl gets sick. Her guy friend goes over and takes care of her, should she get mad at her boyfriend?"
And I answered, "Logically, no. But as a girl, yes."
He laughed and said, "Good answer."
I then go on to explaining myself, the way I see it is, if a mere friend is willing to go that extra mile to take care of me, a boyfriend should be able to do the same even though we are on a break. He was in awe and said, "Wow, you broke that down micro level. As a guy, we just see it as 'we are on a break' and we have to honour that."
Hmm...maybe they don't have depth all.

But perhaps in an even more micro level, it's not just a matter of opposite sexpinions. Maybe it depends on each individual regardless of gender. Like I said, I have many guy friends with a female state of mind. And sometimes I know I think like a male.
So the lesson for today is: You should always try to be considerate and put yourself in someone else's shoes and it certainly never hurts to think like a guy either. I mean, to us, they may be simple, mindless creatures. But to them, we could be complicated, mindful beings that were put onto this Earth to frusturate the hell out of them, and that's always fun to be. :)

Love Always,
LL
