I’m left stunned, completely unaware of what ghastly crime I had committed. I was probably 16 or 17 years old at the time. This was my first taste of an explosive female reaction to a miscommunication.

I ran things back through my mind as I sat there in the car and decided that it wasn’t my problem, it was hers. What I thought at the time went like this, if she can blow up like that in reaction to what I just said then I don’t want to be around her. I saw it as unpredictable and therefore to be avoided.

What I have since concluded goes like this. If she didn’t have the patience to ride things out to either confirm or not whether I was actually saying what she thought I was saying then I wasn’t going to waste my time trying to talk her down from her righteous indignation. I never talked to her again.

I have long since figured out what crime I committed, or rather, what crime she imputed to me. I in effect told her, “let’s just be friends”. Which in fem-sprache means, “I will never ever have sex with you but I will use you for menial tasks as well as emotional validation.”
