Eric Makes Music

I used to be totally against platonic friendships.

I never thought they worked. I mean you can’t deny chemistry, can you? Put a man and a woman in a room and if there’s any attraction there at all, somethings going to happen. I mean, it’s unavoidable right?

But then I got some cool female friends.

Never thought that would happen but it did. And they were great. And a couple of them became closer than my male friends were.

And then things got weird.

I don’t know how to explain it exactly. Each case is different but in every case, the vibe just started changing at some point. And we’re all still friends but it’s not really the same.

What makes it hard with women specifically is…

You can never ever be sure what a woman is really thinking

• Do they really like you and are just acting like friends to get close to you?
• Or, maybe they suspect you’re the one acting like a friend and think you might really like them so they decide to back away.
• Or maybe they’re just crazy!!!

Two guys would never have this problem.

You know why? Because we do this thing called Talking! When we have a problem with someone or suspect an issue, we actually open up our mouths and express it (Ladies you should try it sometime, it actually works).

So anyway, I’m back to being not so sure if platonic relationships work.

But, I wrote a song about how I feel. And since my lady friends have left me totally clueless as to what happened between us, I, like any guy, have to make the assumption that I did something wrong. And, as every guy has done at some point, I’m apologizing even though I’m not really sure what happened.

Ladies, maybe you can help me…
