Yes, I do. Because I’ve had genuine male friends.
But I’ve also experienced male friends catching feelings. I’ve been giving it a lot of thought most recently due to a childhood friend who knew me when I was a runt telling me things I’m worried killed our friendship. It’s to the point I’m starting to think men are doomed to want you, and that’s it’s only matter of time before they catch feelings (there’s no way he’s been hiding it for that long), but this could be the mood I’m in.
It’s bizarre bc my sister used to ship us (“that guy is gonna marry you”), and I would tell her the reason she thinks that is bc she never developed a friendship with a guy. Now, I won’t tell her this development out of pride.
