There is this girl I have been talking to for a time. I like her, and we also share some common ground. Recently she told how she is struggling very much with anxiety.
She’s worried people dislike her, worried about people only pretending to be her friend, people slowly losing interest. She is without exaggeration suicidal about it. More over I overheard her saying she hates people who are only interest in sex.
And here is the damned kicker, I am only interest in having sex with her. Normally when people talk about how they dislike people only interested in sex, I take that as my cue to leave. It’s totally fine they feel this way, but it also means we’re not compatible. However seeing how this girl is damn near suicidal about people pretending to like her, I’m not sure what to do.
If she’s not into one night stands that’s fine but that does mean I’m walking (I’m also not interested in any friendship). But I don’t want her to kill herself over it either.
Sort these sentences out for yourself.
You’ve made a throwaway account to make a thread about it and discuss.
So just as a counterpoint: Have you considered you do have interest in friendship and that’s intimidating?
You can like someone whilst still only wanting one thing to do with them. I guess it’s about how much you value friendship in general.
Well I don’t have interest in friendship because it would feel like a drag.
