Just Friends

Can guys and girls be just friends? It's an age old question. The answer: no.

Controversial, you say? Here's my argument based on cold hard evidence (my opinion). Guys and girls cannot be just friends because at one point or another one of the two parties has considered what a relationship would be like with the other person. And guys if you don't believe this is true, think about this. Just about every girl you know has tried out her first name with your last name even if it was just to see. And if that is not enough proof for you then I'll continue. Also, think about it this way. There may be some person that you are thinking of that you are saying "We are totally just friends and I have never thought of them that." My argument: if its not you thinking it, then its them.

Guys and girls can be acquaintances. They could even have a couple of good platonic conversations. However, intimacy is not okay between just friends and that is what happens if it goes further. Intimacy means that you are not just friends but rather are getting emotional fulfillment from that person. Emotional fulfillment from a member of the opposite sex means that you are either dating them or should be dating them because intimacy should be reserved for those type of relationships.

Okay, I really have a lot more to say on this topic but I will conclude with this. Don't be stupid. We make excuses all the time to quiet the dissonance that we are having about certain things. Guys and girls cannot be just friends and once you come to that realization you will have much happier, more successful relationships in all aspects of your life. Get a clue, face reality and you will realize that I am right.


Reason #44 why I love my boyfriend: While I thought we were just friends, he was definitely hoping for the day that it could be more than that. Good thing it worked out for him!

6 months!! :) Who knew? (Apparently him.)
