Whoever came up with this quote got it down accurately. Your best friend becoming someone who you actually love. It makes complete sense. They know you already, you trust them with your life, they have seen you at your best and worst. Nothing can get better than that. Although, what happens when the hot fire man with his extinguisher comes along? The answer is, an ended friendship. I guess its a risk to take, right?
On the contrary, I do believe some friendships are just meant to be friendships. For example, when watching the film "P.S. I love you" is about her husband dying, and moving on from him becomes this great journey...Blahblahblah. Anyway, she meets this very blunt man that she becomes good friends with. He grows strong feelings for her, she doesn't really know about how she feels for him, and than they eventually kiss - nothing happens. No spark, No ka-boom, No nothing. Just pure absolute awkwardness. In view of this, I started to question 'Should friendships with obvious chemistry be considered just friends? ' In other words, its clear when theres no connection in a friendship. Not to mention, there is friendships that begin and continuously have an attraction, a sex appeal, and a strong bond that you never experienced before with anyone else. A bond that can possibly be successful or as I mentioned, a complete failure. As a result, you can lose that person forever. Despite of that, this constant fear of losing a friend can turn into a brick wall-- not letting the friendship go further can result your friend moving on. Basically, this is another terrifying risk. Which one to take is the decision to make.
The funny thing about this, my brother once gave me a piece of advice. "Any best friend that is the opposite sex, eventually has feelings for you regardless" I still highly disagree with this statement because my friend and I are still great friends and there is no attraction nor had any attraction before. We even cringe at the thought of it. So, in ways I am lucky I can keep a mutual friendship with someone of the opposite sex without the confusion. However, I have experienced my own personal scenario that grants my brothers advice some creditability. So I ask the same question once again, "Should friendships with obvious chemistry be considered just friends?" In my humble opinion, I do not believe its just friends. No matter what relationship they are in, they are still in their heart. No matter what they say, if there is a connection it is crossing over the "just friend" line. My best advice I can give to others is test it out. You can't live your whole life having feelings for one another and not doing anything with it. It can be the greatest thing of your life. Plus, if it doesn't work out and the friendship is ruined, they are not a good friend to begin with. If they were friends with you long enough, they would not want to lose the friendship either. It will hopefully end on a good note, even if it takes some time too. So take the risk, it's a risk worth taking! [I am still ashamed, but proud of my fire men example ;) ]
If anyone disagrees, I would like to read some new criticism ! I write so you can read, and if you can write, I will read. Story telling is never ending.
