Search Results: seeing an old friend

Don't get me wrong, I don't avoid other guys, and I get along just fine with other guys. But it seems that all my closest friends seem to all be women with the exception of like 2 or 3.

I'm not even necessarily effeminate, not by a long shot, but I'm not "as manly" as American society expects me to be. I don't mind playing sports with a few friends once in a while, but I definitely don't watch sports, and I don't know a lot about them besides a few basic rules. I also couldn't care less for anything car related. Sure, I can fix things around the house, but that's because I kind of have to, not because I'm "trying" to be manly.

My interests all tend to be associated with nerds or with geeks, neither of which are effeminate, but not manly either. Writing, drawing, singing, cooking, playing video games, analyzing TV shows/movies, reading, making comics, swimming, walking for exercise, etc.

This alone probably isn't why I tend to get along better with girls though. The reason is because I'm very expressive of my emotions and like to give people compliments, and among-st other guys this tends to come off as "gay."

Close guy friends also tend to insult each other a lot, and though I can appreciate it in moderation, in my opinion if excessive it can get old and FAST. And the majority of my male friends can't go without saying something like, "Hey what took you so long you fucking cock sucking son of a bitch" when seeing each other. Some may find it genuine and lovely among-st bros, but I was never a fan.

And as such... I get along better with girls, and my closest friends are almost all girls. We tease each other once in a while, but we can also conversate normally and compliment each other as well. Guys often seem to have like an 80% balance of just pure insulting, which turns me off.

Is this a bad thing though?

I’ve known this woman for years. She’s a couple years older than me. When she was a school girl and we were younger. She did stuff to get my attention and flirted with me on a regular basis. I met her because she laughed loudly at my joke and at great length then asked me to repeat it the. After I talked to her teased me. She butted in my conversations to try to talk to me ask me to repeat stuff or laugh at unfunny stuff I said. Found any excuse to talk to me hovered around me to try to talk to me approaching me with her friend. She’d giggle and say my name for no reason and when I looked at her. Compliment me a lot and find any excuse to compliment me. Get red while talking to me, smile and make no eye contact and hide her face. Blush and smile when I say hi. Couldn’t look me in the eyes or say hi first. When I talked to her she’d ask for a selfie with me for me to come from across the room and sit next to her and ask me to get closer to her before every one. When she wore something showing her boobs her friend came and got me for a selfie and blushed. Said my name a lot in a warm tone if I said something bad. Tease me after I talk to her. Stare at me every opportunity when I’m not looking. I see her around. As I got older I went to her work and she sat in a place that had a clear view of me and where I could see her then stared at me. I went to a store and she was in a car laughing loudly and when I looked at her turned her head and made a big smile. Dipped her head and raised her eyebrows then widened her eyes. held eye contact and didn’t stop and when I broke it continued staring and watched me leave. I ignored her and after that she had an attitude seeing me. I worked with her and I caught her secretly staring at strange places. I go to the same college as her. saw me in a classroom and went in then stared at me secretly. shows up 30 mins early for that class after seeing me and walks by looks at me walks by
4x and stands in the door then waits by it
