It's funny when 2 people in your group of friends get together. How do we treat them? Can we behave like olden times? Or do we have to tread carefully with every topic. It used to be where we can discuss anything, anyone, anywhere, anytime. But how close are we for comfort, now that they are an item? Does secrets still prevail between the group, or is everyone else totally off limits from the usual talk?
Do not misunderstand, I for one am totally comfortable with a relationship where we start out as friends. I also believe that my other half should also be my best friend. But do we want to go into a relationship, when every other aspect of this friendship is at stake? Back in our minds, we prepare ourselves that should it fail, we end up losing a friend, and even the group. It will not go back to the way it was. It never will. It never does.
If thats the case, then why do we do it? Why do we keep repeatingly hit ourselves over our head with a hammer? Because, it feels good when it stops. Maybe we like the pain, maybe we are wired for it, because without it, maybe we just wouldn't feel real.
But I guess the most important part is, where is the line drawn for any of us, when does flirting stop and intent begins?
