Are/Were you afraid of losing male friends?

So here’s my thing—

Ever since my break up—which ignited this whole consideration of my sexual orientation—I have also gotten an influx of male friends.

I am very concerned because as much as I believe that men and women can actually be friends with each other, there is this fear in the back of my mind that tells me that the minute I start dating a woman, I will lose a lot of those friends.

There’s this paranoia about these male friends wanting to date me and just being nice to me because they want me to date them.

Maybe it’s just my self esteem or the fact that I have trust issues but after dating someone who also knew these guys, I am having a hard time trusting that they suddenly just wanted to start talking to me. I am actually just a boring and pretentious person, there is no reason for this.

Have any of you had this happen? If so, how did you deal with it? Are you still in the same boat?
