Me: Am I making any sense? I feel like I'm in limbo...
Dad: You are making sense. You know what you need to do?
Me: What? *awaiting something profound and life changing*
Dad: Shant, you need to date a man.
Me: What? Are you serious?
Dad: Yes.
Me: Dad, I said I wanted friends, not a boyfriend. I meant like I wanted to be grown up again and meet other people who get where I'm at. What does dating a guy have anything to do with it? I don't want to get married right now!
Dad: Shant, I didn't say you had to get married. You don't need to marry the first guy you meet.
Me: I know, but...I just want to be friends.
Dad: What's the definition of insanity?
Me: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. But dad!
Dad: You have a fear of men.
Me: Not true, I have lots of guy friends. I talk to boys all the time.
Dad: No, You have a fear of MEN, not boys, but MEN.
a day or two later
Me: Dad says I have a fear of men. He's crazy, right?
Sister: What?
Me: Dad says I have a fear of men. I don't have a fear of men.
Sister: Well, you have a fear of something.

I think I have a fear of men. But I'm still just a baby.
MEN sounds so adult. I wonder when I will start considering myself one ... (an adult, not a man, that is... haha, but wouldn't that be somewhat funny? surprise! I'm really a man! Ok, I need to leave work for the day because I am obviously going crazy)
I consider myself an adult but I still consider the men I date boys. Maybe I'm scared of men too. Or maybe I'm just scared of men being boring.
