@boomerang,
I'm a guy. I have a 'go to girl.'
Guys are fun to discuss intellectual ideas with. They're good to have a drink with. As a straight male, in my opinion, most guys are not fun to 'hang out' with (I still 'hang out,' being a college student.). They're too competitive, they're often douchey, and they're more concerned about persona and 'manliness' than honest friendship.
Girls can be 'b*tchey,' but in a normal social situation (not a romantic or similar situation) with a guy, they aren't. Oh, and they dance aimlessly at parties; guys stand around, afraid to give up their man cards.
My 'go to girl' is my best friend. Even when we were both in relationships, we talked about everything. I can talk to her about my deep feelings more so than I could with my last girlfriend.
I have a strange feeling that I am really in love with her. Sort of like the cliche in movies where two people don't come to be together until years and years of being friends. But nothing is complicated with her, and I think I wanna keep it that way.
