I always imagined that they would only want to be friends if there was some sort of potential for intimacy. i wonder if I would want intimacy with someone that really should be just in the friend category simply because I am so intimacy starved.
I haven't actually joined any groups yet. I think I have always been comfortable with independent pursuits, but realize I need to do that to expand my social circle.m

I really don't know. They say it but lines are kind of blurry.

I have never had a lot of male friends outside of family members and friends' significant others which is not really friendship but more acquaintances. That's why I'm trying this now. But I think I also blur the lines because it is new to me. The one snarky guy I've gone out with and he usually ends up inviting other women to show up when we are there. I like that because I get to meet new people. I think there is always a possibility for intimacy and I don't think any man would not take the chance if it is there--even if they are on board for just friendship. And when it is just the two of us things tend to feel more date.

Definitely meeting through like minded groups is the way to go. At least it brings you toward the kind of men who aren't looking for hook ups as much as companionship and shared interests. And there is a chance to also make new girlfriends.
