I'd really like to make a friend who's a girl that I can hug and be friendly with, without sending her message or people thinking stuff. Hell, even showing a girl I care if uncomfortable. I saw a girl crying in school one time, and I wanted to help, but I couldn't "cuz she has a vag n stuf".

Now I give nothing more than feces for what people think of me, but I hate having a dispute left unsettled, much less being judged for a misunderstanding.
People seem to take anything more than a tad bit friendly as a sign. Hell, you can't even ask if some one's going out or not without them thinking crap. People think you either like them, or, if you're a dude, you're a perv or you're gay.

Suxanut if you ask me.

Does anyone else think this way? If you saw a some one hug some one else, or kiss them on the hand or cheek, or some one doing this with most of his/her friends, what would you assume of them?

For the sake of extra traffic; penis.

boy / girl friends usually have feelings eventually...unless the dude's gay .

If it makes you feel good.... then hug away.

If someone points and laughs at you...... chances are, they are feeling just as low as the person you hugged... and they are trying to get a rise.

Everyone's going to speculate and talk anyway because it's gossip. But if you're not dating someone then you're not dating, and most people will get used to it eventually

You just need to ignore people that are like that. You can definately be friends with the opposite sex and have nothing more than a friendship. Some people are unable to though but people shouldnt judge everyone else based on a few others.

I honestly think you shouldn't even worry about people thinking your gay because you hang out with girls. I'm sure they assumption already.
