Why are people so difficult?

Well why are they!?
I wouldn't mind but the standard seems to differ each time.
Friends are tough at the best of times, but things don't usually get that hairy. Whereas you walk down the pub and say hello to all the regulars that are indeed my friends yet I know I'll never have a single problem with them. We just stand at the bar and have a good laugh with each other and occassionally buy each drinks and win quizzes.
Perhaps the key here is what we come to expect from people? I'd have no doubt in saying that I expect different things from the lads at the bar compared to someone that I wanted to be in a relationship with. That's obvious...But it leads me onto the main point.
Why is it so hard to strike up a relationship with someone...even if most of the time both parties seem interested. I am speaking from personal experience and things have happened both sides here. There have been occassions where people are interested in me, and I feel that I'm interested in them but have never felt I could be involved in a relationship with them.
But more often that not, it's the other way round. Before you all jump in with the standard "well he's bullshitting you...he don't really care" rubbish, then I don't belive that to be true. I may be naive but not THAT naive.
So why is the situation such a difficult one...And why has it left me with so many hours of heartache over the last 2 weeks? I always like to think I'm in control and know when to stop - but well I'm a sucker for love. Shame the people I'm interested in don't seem to show the same kind of enthusiasm.
What can I say?
