I'm having a hard time making friends with girls and I don't understand why.
I have a girlfriend and we've been dating for almost 10 years now. I am faithful to her and it's pretty well known that we're together and will be getting married.
So I'm not acting shady and wanting something on the side. I just like having friends that are girls, I always have. I grew up as the only boy in an all girl house, so I can just naturally get along with women.
Over the past year, I've had girls add me on social media, some of them old friends. I'll try messaging them just saying hi, what's up, but they never respond, or if they do, it's a one word sentence. And then they sit there on my friends list.
I don't get it. Why would you add somebody on social media if you don't know them, and don't want to know them? It makes me paranoid.
I know it's really a non-issue, but it's confusing me and I could use some perspective.
It's social media.
Girls typically have nearly a thousand friends, you think they're going to talk to every one of them? Nah. You're a number until they need something from you.

Based dubs. You're probably right. So should I just delete them and not waste my time?

Girls want to show in social media how pretty they are. It is just publicity.
As a girl, I feel somewhat uncomfortable being solid friends with a guy who's in a relationship, especially a long term one, in case anyone accuses us of being shady or one of us develops feelings or whatever. Guys in long term relationships don't normally tend to suddenly start hanging out with other girls unless there's something weird going on.
>Why would you add somebody on social media if you don't know them, and don't want to know them?
This is how social media is. Just because you add someone on Facebook doesn't mean that they actually want to talk to you. It's been like this for a long time.
