Why Can't We Just Be Friends?

Networking,

We all do it, its all part of life and how we meet new people.
But, why do people think just because we are talking to them and trying to get there information we are trying to "GET WITH THEM?" Why can't we just get your information just because we find you intriguing and a good person to talk to.

We don't necessarily have to be trying to get with you when we ask for your phone number, we are just trying to connect with people who have a similar thought process as us or people who peak our interest.

Guys Point of View: (My Opinion)
Okay as a guy sometimes we do just try and get your numbers to see if we can get your numbers and see what comes out of it but other times we just like having a female friend to just talk to about random things and/or for advice so why can't we just be friends? Sometimes females already assume just because we are guys we can't be looking for female friends and thats clearly wrong.

Girl Point of View: (My Opinion)
Straight to the point females think all guys think a like and only want one thing from them no matter how they come off. If a dude walks up to a chick on some friendship type stuff females will look at you like "are you gay?" or "I'm not looking for another male friend." Females are on there toes for anyway a dude tries to get at them because they don't want to get played, be somebodies side chick or just dont want to be taken on a ride and left out on the side.

Why can't I just walk up to you, introduce myself, get your information and just be friends? Why does it have to be more then that everytime I approach you? As I sit here and look at my friends I realize I lost a couple decent ones just because they "assumed" I was trying to get with them but they need to ask themselves "Why Can't We Just Be Friends?"
