Now everyone may have, had, or will have a friend of the opposite sex. But I am not referring to just any kind of friend, I'm talking about a best friend.
Oh and quick side note..remember the name of my blog is "through the eyes of Andrea" so this post will be written by most part through a females perspective.
Anyway continuing on, This is the bestfriend who says he will knock down anyone who will hurt you, he will always be there for you, and gives you advices.whether you want that advice or not. Of course, these are also things you do. So the friendship is "balanced". Now many think it is impossible to have friend of the opposite sex who just stay friends, but it is very possible, I have a few who are friends..and thats all there is to it.
But in this post, I want to focus, on the bestfriend who may never be your man.
So I have a male bestfriend, we started off as ordinary friends, then decided to get into a relationship..which just ended up to us being friend again..lol..Well anyway, during our second phase of a friendship, we became bestfriends. We talked about everything candidly, and kept everything 100%. Meaning, tell all, regardless of the consequences.
As my bestfriend, he stayed in that category ( as much as possible), which was made easier because he lived quite a bit of distance from me. So when we would talk on the phone, I got to hear about everything. And I mean everything. From getting bored with females, what he does with a female, who he does, how many, where, and all the gory details that go along with it.
I try my best not to judge individuals, since no one is perfect, so i just always seen it as..what he does is what he does, as long as he is being careful. And i think that was why our friendship was so strong, it was the ability to tell all without fear of judgment. Which people generally fear, and so hide stuff and keeps secrets.
So after a while, those relationship feeling started brewing in him, and he wanted to try us out.
Well this is when I began to wonder, what would make me different from the other girls. If i know you get bored with females, just because it is how you are, what will stop you from getting bored with me. What i feared was, we would get together, and something would happen..and poof thats the end of a great friendship.
Well this is a problem that I have seen many face, the one where you have a friend that you know everything about. Now the problem isn't knowing everything, the problem is, what will make you different from the others.
Here are few example of why someone will keep a bestfriend as just that!
- Your bestfriend proclaims they can never be faithful
- Your bestfriend has slept with a multitude of random females
- Your bestfriend says he easily gets bored with females
- Your bestfriend has a strong sex drive and doesn't live close to you
- Your bestfriend has no problem disrespecting females
- Your bestfriend has told you all the gory details involved with most of his sexual escapades
- Your bestfriend has answered your call while he was having sex
- Your bestfriend can never see himself settling down
- Your bestfriend generally calls all females, but you, by a certain name. Hint it starts with a B and ends with an ITCH.
Dynamics sometimes change from friendship to relationship. Things that you discuss before, may not be discuss in a relationship. For example, if he told you about an annoying habit his girlfriend had..would he tell you about your annoying habit if you were going out. I guess, what it really comes down to is that communication. Both individuals would need to say it all, 100%, if it worked in the friendship it needs to work in the relationship. In my opinion a relationship is the derivative of a friendship with a little more intimacy.
In most cases, when you know all that information, you start to wonder. Do i want to get involved in this situation, I know all what could happen..so if it does, i can't really be mad at anyone but myself. And because of that fear, that bestfriend of yours may not be more than just a friend.
