stupid question

but do many guys ring up girls that are their 'friends' and have loooooooong conversations with them?

it sounds like a daft question but i've not known many guys that call up girls unless they're evidently amazingly good friends or they're bf-gf.

theres only one guy who calls me, its not too regular; once a week, but we do have reeeally good conversations about pretty normal stuff. thing is that we haven't known each other well for long (6 months maybe?) but he reckons we get on because of our 'intellectual understanding'.. but we don't talk about much intellectual stuff.

Sounds like he probably likes you. I personally never phone anyone unless I have to, I cannot stand talking on the phone usually. And if you have someone who has an 'intellectual udnerstanding' with you, I wouldn't say that means you talk about smart things all the time...just that you're on the same level and generally are on the same level with them.

Not many guys do, to be honest. Well, not many guys that I know, but perhaps it's more common in different social circles. Most of my friends tend to be lads' lads, i.e. they think women are for shagging, not for being friends with.

I'm different from them in that I have quite a lot of platonic female friends, but I don't tend to ring them up and have long conversations with them.

hmm.
when he was at my 6th form we weren't part of the same group of friends.
since he's gone we've spoken much more confortably than we ever did.
i don't know.
personally i don't see the point of him calling me if we're just friends, because i've got lots of guy friends that i don't see often, but i don't call em to have a catch up every week, if i ever do 'catch' up with them, its usually when i come across them or an occasional text message.
hmm.

That said though, not everyone is the same, we all have different personalities. He may just be one of those caring guys who likes making an effort with people to show he is interested in their lives.

I can assure you they do. I may not phone my friends and talk to them for hours, but I make an effort to speak to everyone in some form at least once a week, and I really am genuinely interested in making sure everyone is happy. And I'm straight. You may have had bad experiences but there are plenty of us out there.

I think its sad when men and women cant just be friends and nothing else, I have lots of femal friends that I would have long conversations with just becauseI feel like I can talk to women more easily about emotions and stuff. Women can be just as good friends to me as another bloke could.

a) hes not gay. he's definately not gay.
b) people think of him as a typical lad, e.g i like sex a lot, i smoke weed for a living. when we started talking, he was like that, but soon i found he has a personality..

a lot of people find him really immature but i've found the other side of him.
its hard to explain the scenario fully when you've not met the bloke.
