Kate L is feeling like these goals have been sitting here for quite a while
I was browsing through Craigslist at the “strictly platonic” personals, just to see what was there. I think no one seems to understand what the word “platonic” means because most of them have something to do with some sort of sexual activity. I’m also suspicious of m4w platonic ads, because if you’re a man, why are you specifically looking for a woman to do platonic things with? Shouldn’t it not matter? Like why does a man need a swimming buddy who is a woman if sex is not part of the deal?
Anyway, a girl posted something about finding other girlfriends, and she seemed pretty like-minded, so I replied to see if she wants to try to get together. We’ll see what happens. Every time I’ve been “set up” with someone as a potential friend, it never seems to work out. On the other hand, I don’t seem to be having any success with developing friendships organically, so I might as well give this another try. There’s got to be some halfway cool girl out there whose roster of friends isn’t completely full already.
