I think I might have just met a new friend. Her name is Tramaine. We had a lengthy conversation about friendships, relationships, and confidence yesterday after class. Although she has her own quirks, she seems to be a pretty good person overall.
After class, my professor, Tramaine and I had a long talk about friendships, relationships and confidence. I don't understand how we got on that subject, but, for some reason, the conversation gravitated towards it. Anyway the main topic of discussion was that both Professor Smith and Tramaine, both whom are women, believed that there was no such thing as platonic friends. They were asking me questions such as: "Why would a grown woman have a good male friend?" or "Why would a grown woman hangout with a grown man?" They believe that there is always some attraction on one side or the other.
Although I cant disprove their theory, I'd like to believe that men and women can be friends based on similar interests rather than attraction. Or it could be based around boredom. Maybe the two people want to do something, but don't know or have anyone who they can ask. There have been women that I have been friends with in which I have had no attraction to whatsoever. Despite the fact that I'm not interested, I can't disprove their theory because I cannot one-hundred percent, without a doubt, state the feelings of my opposite sex friends. I can assume, but that is the best I can do. Therefore, they could be right. There could be feelings somewhere.
Back to Tramaine... seems like she could become a good friend of mine given communication continues after graduation. (If I graduate. Haha) This feeling comes from that fact that I can sense her level of investment thus far and it seems usually high despite the fact that we really don't know each other beyond anything superficial. Hmmm... I guess we will have to see how this develops... or if it develops.
Good times.
