Will a holiday intervention be absorbed in the new year? The behavior that needs
to be abolished is suggesting girlfriends for my straight male friends. My friends
tell me through their heads in their hands that I am "just giving them away". Well
I do not feel that I have the straight male friends to give away and if they were
interested in me, they know how to get in touch with me. A party guest that transformed a friendship into an enviable marriage lead me to the light in a dark carport one December night, she said not only do not force a relationship with your male friends,do not facilitate romantic relationships with other women. The explanation struck me with a clarity that I yearned for in high school math.
I marched out of the party armed with a fresh clarity and a new resolution for 2011.
While I will be happy for my male friend's relationships, I will not encourage them.
Not so fast, I have begun to slip back into contemplating certain women friends for my male friends with the possibly horrible attitude of "why not". My only promise is for today, I will not "give away any of my male friends" now tomorrow maybe another story.
