My problem is that I'm so aggressive and uninhibited about everything else, how are they supposed to know that I'm an insecure blob of jelly when it comes to romance? I mean, I understand why people like me and hang out with me, but I can't quite fathom anyone wanting to date me.

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I wonder if maybe it seems women hurt us worse or more, because we expect them to know better or understand our feelings better. Not because they're all closer to the earth empathycakes, but because they're supposed to be one of us.
It's like when my not-bitchy-sister does something rotten its WAY worese than when my bitchy sister does.
And none of my friends try to sleep with me.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I have had, err, intimate moments with each of my two guy friends, but we were good enough friends and not good enough anything else for it to be dropped pretty easily. They're also the ones I'm most likely to call if I'm really in the shit. They will show up and do something about it- which is why I don't call them if I want to just bitch and moan for hours.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I mean, I understand why people like me and hang out with me, but I can't quite fathom anyone wanting to date me.I aspire to be Vortex. Sometimes I am not even sure why people like or want to hang out with me. Boggles me totally that they'd want to date me. I mean, I have issues and shit...
And none of my friends try to sleep with me.P'shaw.

Me either.

Silly, Cass. It's because you're wonderful.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a lot of male friends. Of the straight ones, I think that many of them would sleep with me if I gave them the chance, but they don’t want to date me.
Oh, yes, this. Very much this.
My friends of either gender have the same potential to hurt me, I think. I know some friendships with guys change dramatically if a GF comes into their picture, because it does look weird the amount we hang out. But if it's a good strong friendship, it's just a phase, and the longer and stronger the friendship, the shorter the phase.
Women? Drop me for other things. Motherhood is one.
I don't fault anyone for the above. There's only so much time to go around, and if we're all that, we'll be all that again when everything regularises.
As long as they don't all do it at once. That'd suck.

And none of my friends try to sleep with me.
A few have tried. I balked due to my own personal hangups and insecurities. I am clearly an idiot.
Sometimes I am not even sure why people like or want to hang out with me.
Every. freakin. day. See above re: idiot.
IOnotmeN, how many of us are represented by this picture?
