friends and lovers
I never fantasized that I would be friends with a guy before realizing we were meant for each other. For one, I was never the "best friend" type. I've never had any best friend on record. And second, I don't think I can take the confusion that comes with the transition from shifting from being friends to being more than friends.
I made this friend in the office and until now I am not sure if I should read anything when he casually says "we should meet up for dinner some time" or when he gave me chocolate once when he knew I was being really stressed at work. Then when he bought me a CD when he came from KL.
Or am I just being dense? Or am I being in denial and that I refuse to consider he has any other intentions?
I just read this book by Cecilia Ahern (who also wrote PS I Love, which, I found out, will be turned into a movie with Hilary Swank as the lead) this weekend and it's about this guy and girl best friends who took them one marriage for the girl and two marriages for the guy and for both of them to reach the age of 50 till they ended up together. Geez. I know it could be romantic in essence... soulmates and all that... but all the wasted time!
Just something to think about...

What's the title of that book rish? Hmm, sounds interesting! But I might just wait for the movie haha tamad!!
Anyway, you should take a "closer" look at this guy. He may turn out to be a good catch nman, hehe. Update me dear! =) Thanks for your emails.. brightens up my boring days haha =)- JSN
Hilary Swank for PS I Love You? Ah, I love that book. Although I don't see Hilary Swank as the lead. Isn't the lead character Irish? So Hilary will talk in an Irish accent? That's weird.
And I was imagining a much older woman. More like Diane Keaton during her Manhattan Murder Mystery days. Or Emma Thompson! Or maybe my visualization is off. Hehe.
*ahem* a lot of solid relationships start as friendships. but i, personally, have a friendship limit. i.e. once the guy has crossed into the zone of ultimate trust, he can't be boyfriend material anymore. no matter how great a friend he is. just imagine - he's heard you gush about your crushes and curse your exes. it's just not right.
three of my closest friends are guys, and it's purely platonic. (although one wanted to shift gears. eek!) but i was friends with all my exes before becoming the girlfriend. it's just a matter of knowing where the lines lie, and when one has crossed it. i have clearly defined limits; maybe you don't, hence the difficulty. once i even SUSPECT a guy is into me, i draw the line. some things you just don't discuss with a suitor.
BUT... the bottom line is... are you into him??? because after all that's said and done, how you feel actually determines everything. my advice is just this - don't knock it 'til you've tried it ;)
