This sounds like a strange question as I process it through my brain and type it, but do you prefer the social company of women? Is that why you want female companionship? I'm only asking because, and I'm making some assumptions about your sexuality, which is none of my business, but couldn't you easily have platonic relationships with men? Do you also have those? Or do you just get along better with women? I actually tend to get along better with women than men, so I could understand if that was the case. I guess I'm just trying to understand the underlying issue. When I've had women who I consider friends who one day said they wanted to "go further," I just told them outright and we either remained friends or they disappeared from my life because they didn't want to be "just friends" with me. I've had the same thing happen to me when I wanted to be more than friends with someone. This issue usually happens in reverse, so that's why I'm asking these questions. I just find the situation interesting.
Sounds like your situations are somewhat similar to mine. The only difference is that I don't chase Women at all. For example, as you recall from my experiences at the homeless shelter, it was the Staff that introduced Teresa to me. Obviously,the socializing had to
begin at first as platonic since the intention was the cribbage game. When it later developed into romantic, it totally surprised me--in fact, too much so, because it ruined a nice companionship.
As for the current companion, Sheila, I was not looking for a Female at all. All I did was simply post on a local bulletin board that I'm looking for a tennis partner. I did
not specify gender. In fact, I had expected a Male to answer my ad. So I was surprised that Sheila showed up. But then I went with the flow. So this is where I am at now, which I'm enjoying so much. Happy, happy, joy, joy.
What I'm trying to say is that either female or male is fine with me since it's specifically for tennis. As for cribbage, I do it with a Male. But he likes to meet only once a month, whereas Sheila likes every week. So it's a matter of "happenstance" that I meet her more often than the male.
Admittedly, though, I enjoy Sheila's companionship in a different way than I would with a male. That happens whenever we go to the Vegan marketplace where we have lunch together. Those lunches result in Conversations from which I get different "vibes" than I would from a male.
Now that I answered your questions, it's only fair I ask you. How would you compare my experiences with yours? Do you still continue in this way with your companions?
