But You Say He/She's Just A Friend


The Quest for "Mr./Mrs. Right!" One of man's most difficult challenges due to one's feel of not just finding a mate, cause in that case we could just grab the nearest person and begin the mating process, but one finding a mate they feel compelled and passionate towards. These days, everyone has some type of idea of the type of person they would like to spend their lives with, so they go through the trial and error phase, the dating scene, until they meet this fantasy person. What they don't seem to realize is that they probably already met them and have been around them their whole lives. The one most suitable to be "Mr./Mrs. Right" is most likely someone you pushed into the friend zone. These are the people who are: there for you when you need them, always makes you smile, listens to you when you speak, ready to fight for you no matter the situation, hate to see you cry, always giving you good advice, willing to drop their last buck for you, and tells you the truth wether to want to hear it or not. These are the ones who keep it real and ride with you till the end. The ones who come to your weddings and sit in the crowd, tempted to jump up and speak against your marriage, but are so much more worried about your happiness and the continuation of your friendship that they tuck their pride away and continue to hide their feelings for you. Everyone has someone like this in their lives. You might not know who they are exactly, or you might even have an idea but have chosen to ignore it due to the idea that "it might ruin your friendship" but here's the thing, a relationship can easily go both ways depending on how dedicated one is in it. A good friendship will last a lifetime, even if both parties were previously involved. But back to what I was saying, the ones who actually care about us are the ones we tend to Push into the infamous "friend zone." You can't walk around and claim that "all guys are dogs" and "all men lie and cheat" or "all girls lie" and "girls are sneaky and conniving" because I can guarantee that you have at least one guy or girl friend who does not fit into any of those categories. My question to you is, as good as they have been to you and as loving, caring, and supportive as they have been in your life, how come you've never looked at them more than just a friend?...Hmmm
