It's Saturday and it's raining... And, in fact, probably the most boring day that I have had in a long time. Perhaps it's a sign that I should go home and do some laundry.
I got my hair cut today. I don't know what I will do when my stylist decides he is going to leave Canada. He is the coolest, and the most proficient professional person to take care of my head since Gina in the mid-eighties. Being from a country where curly hair is not the norm, he manages to cut with great skill. First, he blowdries my hair straight and then he cuts it... with two pairs of scissors at the same time. A friend who was studying hairdressing told me that curly hair is the most difficult to cut but the easiest to hide things that went wrong. I have no worries about this with Y. He is awesome! Now all I have to do is convince him to stay here forever.
I called a friend now living in Taiwan (that I almost married once) last night. We talked for about two hours on the telephone and discussed a whole lot of stuff. I can tell him anything and he can do the same to me. It's not often that one has a relationship like this. Too bad for me that he is gay.
Anyway, I asked him yesterday why it is that men feel that they can tell me anything. They talk of their loves, fears, sadness and their sex lives. I don't mind because I feel that I am trusted enough to just listen. With my gay friends, I just accept it as I do with my female friends. However, the more that this happens with straight guys, the more I feel that I am missing the point. After all, is it natural that straight men will share their sexual fantasies or exploits with a woman as just friends? Or is there some expectation? Should I be considering that these guys have some interest in pursuing some sort of sexual relationship? Or am I correct in assuming that these men trust me enough to just talk? I would be interested to know because sometimes I feel like I am just being naive and perhaps I am missing the signals. And that would just a big waste... Personally, I often think I am just having wishful thoughts... after all, what could they want in this older, not very confident woman.
So, guys, tell me straight out. Should I be reading more into this or take it at face value? (You don't have to be straight to answer the questions, if you have an opinion, I am open to all answers!) I would really appreciate your thoughts! Thanks because from him, I got his answers but am curious what other think.
