I want to talk about Kameron. We became friends for a few weeks. And she pointed out that I had some childish behaviors. So I told her about a friend of mine. And I know in the past, I liked this person. I wanted us to be in a relationship. But she just wanted to be friends. So over the course of time, I accepted that. I accepted that.
And so recently I told her good morning. And after I told her that she wanted to emphasize that we're just friends. It caught me by surprise a little bit. But I emphasized to her that I understand we're just friends. I just wanted to say good morning. And it's not like I tell her good morning every day. It's just something that I do occasionally because I was at work. And when I got off work, I was thinking about her. So I decided to say good morning.
So I told Kameron this. And Kameron said that. And Kameron acknowledges that and said that it's something that I should have done as a way of emphasizing her disposition to me. And I told her, yes, I understand that. So then I told Kameron, maybe you should date her because I know Kameron likes women that are feminine. And so maybe you should date her. And I can hook her up with you. But I was just joking around. And Kameron said that what I told her was childish. And she ended our friendship.
This is not the first time, but this is something that I've been doing a few times. I can remember about a week later after my birthday, I had asked her, why didn't you take me out for my birthday? But the reason that I asked her was just out of curiosity. It wasn't because of any judgment on my behalf. I did feel some kind of way initially around my birthday that she didn't take me out. But I understand that she was busy with family and things of that nature. But a week later, I got over that. And I just wanted to ask out of curiosity.
So those are two primary points that she considers childish, which caused the end of our friendship. What do you think about this?
