What is a guy's definition of friendship?

I meet guys on line who say in their profile they want to start a friendship and see how that goes. Then on their second e-mail they are already calling me sweetie, honey, and baby. My friends don't refer to me that way so why do they think it's okay.

They also don't engage in any thing that comes close to a conversation. They have a list of questions they want me to answer and I feel like I am on a job interview not getting to know someone.

Clue me in on what a guy thinks a friendship should be?

I've had this experience the other way round, someone I met on this site and whom I became good friends with called my "baby" really soon (not anywhere near 2nd message though).



I thought this was common across the ocean where most of you live to call also friends like this, so I'm surprised about you asking...



Maybe it just depends on the type of people...

You make some valid points. In truth, the two extremely close friendships I had with men did not start out in my mind as looking for romance but it was the closeness of the friendship and the heart felt sharing that led me to feel more than just a friendshiplove for them. In both cases it was not reciprocated.

I discovered that the qualities that attract me to a man as a friend are what I am looking for in a romantic relationship with a man. I just have to find the guy that feels the same.

I totally agree with the way you have described friendship in one of your posts in this thread.



Friendship involves getting to know a person for who they are without necessarily looking forward to anything more then discovering yet another brother or sister in Christ.



This process of getting to know people, as opposed to photos and textual constructions in profiles, is vital because falling in love with a picture is idolatry and so is falling in love with a textual construction.



This is why I insist on being good friends with someone before any further steps towards a relationship are being considered.

I like the Harry met Sally view. But she was called the high maintenance woman. I prefer the Isaiah 4:1 woman with a little Proverbs 31 woman mixed in. But I may have to just settle for the 1 Kings 1 helper. The high maintenance is not for me. :excited:
