I have a number of them, some single and some married, where there is no romantic plan -- not even an imaginary one. <br /><br />Now, when you say "generally," meaning most guys, most of the time, I think that works. As I said, it's something to remain mindful of, and to include in plans. Things like "It'll be fine to spend the night in the same room. We're just friends" can jump up to bite you when you don't expect it. <br /><br />BTW, I did respond to both of your comments on my blog. It was nice to have something other than spam-attempts to deal with.

Time going by only makes this more clear. <br /><br />Sex is definitely something to be mindful of, especially when it appears to not be on the table -- it's quite possible for "Oh, he would never try anything," to turn into "I can't believe he tried that. I never saw it coming." And with no advanced warning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099884500208564058.post-4471360618451564202010-04-05T22:51:02.954-07:002010-04-05T22:51:02.954-07:00sad, but true, huh?sad, but true, huh?noybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677268663318440222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099884500208564058.post-50713236205907857082010-04-05T21:54:04.272-07:002010-04-05T21:54:04.272-07:00"Well have a nice life..."
