About a walk

among the funny things that have happened to me, this has to be one of the funniest and strangest..me and my roomie gyan,we go on long walks along the side of the freeway. These walks are usually a time for contemplation about how everything is goin to hell and such topics of general reality. The walk is quite scenic and I figured that people  would like it, and a few friends who accompanied me on said walk mentioned that they had in fact enjoyed it. Therefore, on a few occasions, I extended invitations to a few girls I had come into contact with. These invitations to go on the walk with me were made with complete innocence and lack of motive, however not a single one of them took me up on the aforementioned invite. There was in fact no response whatsoever, this baffled me, now the baffling element in the above was that if the feminine gender does not give us the opportunity to try and become just friends with them, this shall lead to a mass objectifying of them. This objectifying phenomenon, I have observed here in the US, a couple of my American friends, they cannot look at a lady without making crude comments, and these comments are always in a sexual context.Initially I thought that mayhaps this was because of the guys being narrow minded, uni dimensional so to speak, however, now I have cause to think otherwise.
What if, the only reason why guys and girls can never be just friends, is because the girls dont give them the chance to. I am just thinking out loud here.
The other day in the bus, I was talking to this chinese girl whom I had never met before, however it was a fun conversation since I had so much to tell her about my trip to china over the last christmas..so here I am sitting around thinking that things are going kinda ok, and I get her number. At this juncture, I know I am not coming on too strong since Im hardly coming on as it is. I get home, and in the evening I called her up and was talking to her for a while, then I extended to her the same invitation, and I sincerely thought that maybe this time around, I could finally go on the walk with a member of the opposite gender..
alas, it was not to be, I did not even get a return call the next day...therefore, I suppose that is that..
What am I trying to achieve by all these stunts? I honestly do not know..tis no secret that a huge part of me wants to be in a relationship, and also wants to have more friends. Unfortunately that does not seem to be working out for me, or who knows maybe it is for the best.
The more I wait for that special someone, the more its going to mean when it finally comes to be I guess..I hope..
yea thats about it for this post
peace
