I've been thinking, and I've come up with the best way to think...
Think Like A Dude!
Don't you mean "Think Like A Dude??"
Oh yeah, that's exactly how I do it! In real life, as soon as I think about what I want and don't want, I stop! But that doesn't mean I have to give up any desire to be friends!
ESPECIALLY if that's the case...
I think it's MORE practical!
Precisely?
Yeah, and that stops you from wanting or not wanting to friends. Say, if you wanted to meet for dinner but you'd rather that things be more like a race, you wouldn't. You'd instead set out to meet up some other now-roommate and find out what you'd be doing instead.
Hooray!
BUT IT WENT TOWARDS SUCCESS:
I still think it's actually a good idea!
