I was thinking about what I would say in response to this question but I’ve decided it’s kind of lame.  I mean no offense towards anyone who has answered/will answer but really, unless this person is dead, what is preventing you from apologizing??  Why bother with the could/should bs?–If there is reason to write a response to this entry, why are you writing?  Shouldn’t you be out *doing*? 

And I’m speaking to myself here as well, by the way, as I did have a person in mind who deserves apologies from me, so I’m not trying to attack but…seriously–what kind of a question is this??

I would definitely have to go with the ability to read minds.  While I think that such a thing would bring on a lot of problems, it would also solve soooo many problems.  For example, I wouldn’t have to deal with all the mind games of dating.  I could just look at the particular guy and know what he was thinking.  I could then either act/react or walk away.  I mean–seriously!  Other things, too.  Having just finished the interviewing process, I could have looked at the person I was talking to and just known what they needed to hear from me…or even just knowing at the end of the interview what they thought of me…  

Like I said, I think a lot of bad would come with this super-power, too.  With the dating thing…might ”accidentally” find out that someone has feelings that simply are not reciprocated.  Or, similarly, might find out what certain people *really* think about me.  haha.  But really–wouldn’t it be better to know if someone didn’t like me?  I would know if little habits of mine annoyed my co-workers and I could change them or make them better.  It would make everyone happy, in the long run, I think. 

But, alas, I do not have and likely will never have these or any other powers.

I think it depends on a lot of things (i.e. age, degree/type of friendship, etc.) but truth be told, other things seem to get in the way more often than not.  

Now, I do have a guy friend who is significantly older than me & married and there never has been and never will be any of “those” problems there… But I’ve also had a couple of friends who I’d known practically all of my life.  Guys close to my age.  And it was like…there just came a point when one of us developed feelings the other didn’t and things got messy somehow. 

Regardless, if you’re one of those people (& not gay )) who just tends to get along better with the opposite sex and doesn’t see any of those issues the rest of us struggle with, more power to ya.
