Girl Talk: We Can't Be Friends

There's this (amazing) song on the soundtrack to the (terrible) movie "The Romantics" called "We Can't Be Friends" by Lenore Scafaria. My favorite lyrics go:

"I want to wear a skirt, I want to make mistakes,
I want to kill you first and then take your name,
I want to tear you apart, I want to make your bed,
I wanna break your heart, I want to break your head,
I guess this means we can't be friends."

In the days, weeks and months following a big breakup, I listened to this song on repeat. Every word of it spoke to me (especially the part about breaking his head). We'd said to each other on our first date, moony-eyed, that even if this didn't grow into anything, we should still be friends.

Two years later, it couldn't be more obvious that we could not be friends. My friends don't sneak around behind my back. My friends don't email me lists of the things they don't like about me. My friends don't threaten to throw out my stuff. There's a hell of a lot of things my ex-boyfriend did that I wouldn't stand for if one of my girl or guy friends were to do them. Why should I make concessions for acting like a d**k just because we had been in a romantic relationship together? What would that prove?

This cropped up again recently when a guy I'd been going on dates with for about a month ended it with me. Hormones, as I'll call him, said he didn't have strong enough romantic feelings or see long-term potential for us. Yadda yadda yadda. That is fine. I understand. I appreciate that he was honest about it. But then Hormones told me that he hoped we could be friends.
