Friend Pimp

I don’t need a Friend Pimp. What is a “Friend Pimp” you say? My definition of a “Friend Pimp” is someone that insists you meet someone that they know that they want you to know. Now this is okay in social situations – like bringing along a friend to a bar and introducing them to you. Or having a dinner and inviting different folks over. But I have a friend that sent me an email and wanted to get my phone number to give to someone that they know that lives close to me. “Um – why?” The answer was “well I think she would like to meet you. She is new to the area and wants to meet some people.” “Um – okay – tell her to go to a bar.” Geez – I know it makes me sound like a total ogre but I have reasons. And scars (sort of) (okay – maybe they are emotional). What I mean is my wuzband use to meet people at the boat docks where we kept our boat. Some were fun – some not so fun. I was “social” but didn’t cast off that “warm and fuzzy I want to be your friend” kind of feeling to EVERYone. Cause I didn’t LIKE EVERYone. He use to get so mad at me.

Wuzband-“Sally wants to be your friend”

Heidi – “ok”

Wuzband – “you should be nice to her”

Heidi – “ok”

Wuzband – “you treat her mean”

Heidi – “HOW? I don’t even hardly talk to her”

Wuzband – “that’s what I mean”

Heidi – “we don’t have anything in common!”

Wuzband – “bitch!”

I swear this is how the conversations went. I finally got so tired of hearing that shit from him that I told him to quit trying to find me friends. I didn’t have time for the friends that I have and if he continued to insist that I be someone’s friend I was going to tell them straight up what I thought of them and end all chance of them ever wanting to be my friend. GAH! Even as I am typing I am thinking how frickin GAY (not in a sexual way) this all sounds.

And what is wrong with not liking someone anyhow? Is there a rule that you have to be friends with everyone? I understand not causing any bodily harm or personal injury. But do I HAVE to fake a smile and carry on a conversation with someone that I sized up as an idiot after only 5 minutes? And I don’t like women that try too hard. What is it with some people that just try too damn hard? You know the ones – they are totally in your face (or personal space) while they are talking to you. And you are supposed to not do anything but listen to them. They know everything – have done everything – taken classes on everything – taught everything – had every illness known to mankind and have all the coolest stuff. Only no friends. But YOU could be their friend. Humm – maybe it’s not just me! If they are so “cool” and have no friends but want to be YOUR friend – doesn’t that say SOMEthing?

Don’t get me wrong (please) – I love to meet new people. Some of them might even end up being a friend. Some may be an acquaintance that I enjoy the occasional conversation with. Some will be those that get a polite “hi – how are you doing?” and others are just not going to get the time of day. Cause I’m (apparently) a bitch!

But lets go back to the “Friend Pimp.” What would happen if I met this person that he wanted me to meet and then I didn’t like her? Anyone given any thought to the consequences that situation would cause. Now YOU don’t like a friend of a “Friend Pimp.” And now the “Friend Pimp” is going to think you are a bitch too. This is a no win situation folks! “Friend Pimps” need to go away! Or at least leave me alone – okay?

I can't imagine trying to MAKE you be friends with anyone...and I don't even know you THAT well...however, apparently it's well enough! I hate that crap. Given some stuff that's been going on at work (mind you...it's good stuff) I've had to be friendlier with others...but that's something I'm going to have to get over if I want this...STILL! it's not personal friends...it's only business.
