TLDNR?

"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Not really
"Do you like someone?"
Hmm Not really
"Oh yeah"
What?
"Nothing... *whispers* oh yea"
I can still hear you.
"Oh..."
Yeah.

Is it just my generation? Seriously! Is it just people around my age that act like this?
I don't really connect with girls very well, for some reason. It's not like I dislike all of them. I just don't really connect. But for some reason, if I become close enough to a guy, to the point where I trust them completely and they have the ability to hurt me... BOOM. Nope. They just decide to be in love or have a crush on me. I don't know how to stop it from happening. I know people don't buy it when I say it, but I really don't encourage it. I DON'T. When I feel something might be stirring up I honestly turn the idea down imeaditely. They always know it won't work. They always know I'm not interested. Why do they have to go ahead with the idea anyway? And stop caring about me as soon as I tell them no? I.. feel like giving up. But I'm so lonely.
 That's not supposed to be like that!! (is it?) But I'd really like to know why do people, regardless of their age seem to think they need a "partner" to live, it's RIDICULOUS, why can't people just enjoy life and it's little pleasures? And yea, if you happen to fall in love, go for it. The truth is, that people will always wonder about love and the idea of having someone always there. But you can have that person way more easily than you think, that's what friends are for. And if this craziness is stopping people from having friends, well, screw that!
I guess all the male friends I'll get are the ones I meet in WoW, when I'm playing a male tauren. *sigh* I need a bag of cheetos.
