Men-free Zone ~ The Non-romantic Relationship Thread

Actively making moves to get my group back together. We're family, and this is the silliest thing ever. Things should have never spiraled out of control like this.
We're supposed to meet for dinner, but our schedules are kind of hectic. Plus one is a crier. I get emotional about my friends, but this one cries at the drop of a hat. She's gonna cry in public, I can feel it. We HAVE to do this though!
 
Ok, so we have a group date tonight. I'm so nervous! I hope that this is the right thing to do. They've both been asking about each other tho, so I decided that they need to ask each other about each other.

Smart. If they're that curious about each other, get them in touch with each other and take yourself out of it. It'll drive you crazy otherwise.

We all went to dinner. The crier was crying when I walked up. I basically played mediator. Things are nowhere near fixed. Time will do that, but the night ended on an awesome note! Our chemistry is always there. We just need to work out some communication kinks, but I need my girlfriends and I'm excited for our relationship to start healing!

Congrats! Good news.:)
 
So I'm going out to my cousin's house for the night, and I wasn't aware that his cousin was coming with her daughter. Now, I love them both and consider them my family too, but had I known in advance, I probably would have waited and gone another weekend. I just prefer her when she's not in mommy mode. Her daughter is a good girl for the most part, but she can be a little bratty at times and her mother indulges her. It annoys me. And of course, we have to watch out language and stuff around her, I was looking forward to some adult conversation. Hopefully, my cousin's 2 boys keep her occupied for the most part.

It sucks when that happens
 
Summer time is fast approaching and I feel like I need new friends. I'm ready to vacation and do all kinds of stuff. All my current friends are just blah!! I'm ready for some heterosexual female friends, because hanging out with lesbians is just blah....
 
I reconnected with an old high school friend yesterday and it was great. He and I already have plans to hang out again, and I'm secretly plotting to set him up with one of my friends. I wish that I was better at keeping in touch with people.
 
Omg yes!! And I can't take how normal friend behavior or normal behavior in general is seen as secretly "wanting" a person. Or having to deal with insecure significant others all the time.

This wasn't my experience but they just keep up too much "she said, she said" and lies going :lol:
 
Busy weekend. Friday going to visit with my cousins baby. I can't believe she's almost a year already. Saturday errands and a date and Sunday father's day plans. Still not sure what we'll do but no doubt it'll be an all day affair.
 
So umm my father has not called me back or text me since I called him early this morning. My sis calls me and tells me she's going to work because apparently Dad had a date last night and it's...still going. I'm really really mad at him now. Not only did he ditch us (and not even contact me) but I don't like the impression he's giving this new woman. That she's more important than his children on Father's Day! I'd hope he's treating her very well and she's a decent woman that wouldn't think this is ok though. It's not a random Sunday where they can spend time together. It's Father's Day! And it's 1pm and still no word from him on my end. I only know all this because my sister relayed the message. So angry!
 
I'm sad to hear that @KammyGirl. Brush yourself off and have a good day. His loss. He has two daughters who wanted to spend time with him and doesn't appreciate it. I'm sure this isn't the first time he's disappointed you. He's just continuing to be him. (((Hugs))). You did your best.

You're right! It's not the first time. Most of the time he's great but he's a terrible communicator especially with important things. How difficult would it have been to say he had plans the night before and could we do lunch or whatever the day before or the day after. I would have been disappointed but at least it would have been something. And then he likes to call and do spur of the moment things like we don't have other things going on. I nipped that long ago but he still does it to my sis. With me he likes to do pop ups because he knows that is the only way to catch me. Like when I mentioned him coming to meet me when he realized I was having brunch with my friend at a place on the corner of his block. That's cute and all but again he knows unless we make plans (which he breaks 50/50 of the time) that is the only way to get me. Especially if you won't honor actual plans you make with me.

I have a similar issue with my mother. Except she'll tell me and break the plans directly. I don't give her as hard a time though because she doesn't do it as often and I see her way more than I see my father. Since they got divorced they've been like this and I'm about to be over it.
 
Why is it that people tend to have more drama within their family than with anyone else? I have very limited drama in my life. Barring a few "work friend" disagreements here and there (which I care very little about and almost never engage) I don't have any problems. No he said/she said, no talking behind people's back, no feelings of insecurity and trying to manage people's feelings every second of every day. However I have to endure all of that within my own family. It is exhausting and I don't want to be bothered with it. I'm on the verge of blocking a few numbers.

I have similar issues, and I'm an adult child of divorce. I just read this and it really gave me a light bulb moment last night!

Lol are you in a relationship? Why is this man in the friend zone? I'm laughing because every time a friend tried to hook me up with a guy, he was really into her, and she subconsciously wanted him, but something was preventing her from going there.

Lmao oh God, no. Never.

Yes I'm in a relationship. As for why he's in the friend zone, I'm not attracted to him and he's also very good friends with my ex, which is actually how I met my ex.
