| Why is it so hard to meet *just friends* as a grown up?

In grade school, all one kid has to do is walk up to another and say 'Hi, I'm (put your name here), wanna be friends?' and a friendship often ensues.
As an adult, I find so many people are either distrustful to the nth degree, afraid of being rejected, or have NO concept of what 'just friends' means.
My dear friend, Tim (who I met online, then in person, over 10 yrs. ago) died unexpectedly January 29, 2009. I find myself missing him terribly. He was like a brother to me, and my 'family of choice'.
It was nearly impossible to find a guy who knew how to be 'just friends' without other expectations.
As for having women as friends? *Some* women see each other as 'competition,' or something - it's weird.
Why is it so hard to meet 'just friends' once we're grownups? Can you relate?
