So, here lately I have been TRYING my best to cultivate a friendship with a boy. Through this cultivation I hope to grow a potential relationship. The reason that I am trying to make this friendship work is because it has recently come to my attention that I mainly have a lot of girl friends and maybe one guy friend, if that (among other things). I have realized that maybe it is important to know how to interact with boys . . .
I don’t know what it is about the opposite sex that causes nuns to become socially awkward and unable to interact with boys like “normal” humans. It’s like something weird happens to the nun’s mind as soon as she registers that she will be in the presence of a boy. She has a major freak out or some sort of chemical imbalance once she discovers that boys will be around. Her mind starts to race and she tries to think of the cleverest thing to say and the best outfit to wear, all in hopes that one or all of them will like her and want to be around her again.
If the first encounter goes well and there is talk of a second meeting, the freak out process will occur again. This time she will be concerned with being as consistently funny and clever as she was before, but she also will try to spice it up to keep the boys interested to keep them wanting to be her friend. But then, sometimes nuns have off days when they just can’t think of anything funny to say; of course these are the days when nuns find themselves in the presence of boys.
When you are a nun and eternally awkward, making friends with a boy is the hardest thing to do, especially if you like him. My main problem with trying to make friends with this boy is that I always fear that if I show too much interest in him that he’ll know that I like him. But wait, isn’t that the point? I think that there is a line between being a guy’s friend and being all up on him. Why is it so hard to make friends with a boy?
