This. I knew this is what you meant by many guys not treating them as people. When I meet women, I actually treat them as potential friends first and don't worry about sex and such. And a few years ago, I was about 50/50 with having male and female friends.

However, several of these women ended up being interested in me. Some I never really dated, and some I dated short term, but I now lost touch with them, especially once I started dating my fiance. It should be noted that she was my friend for 3 years first, and I truly never expected anything. It's kinda crazy actually.

Did you never have this problem, Glob? I know men and women can be friends, as I still have a few, but things got messy for a bit.

Ive pretty much always been in a relationship, and all but two of my female friends, if they had any interest in my romantically, have always respected that. Two tried it on when I was with my last partner but I shut it down quickly.

I have had a few who have told me years later that they used to have a thing for me and wished wed both been single at the same time, but that didnt stop us being friends as no lines were crossed.
