When Friends Become More...

So...I've heard the age old story. "We were friends first and it makes our bond stronger". Does it? Is there no weird phase in period where you aren't sure whether your friends or lovers? Do you wait a few weeks after deciding you're into each other to sleep with one another? What, exactly is the protocol?

Here's a situation.

A friend you haven't spoken to in a while and you talk almost every day about random crap, mess around with each other and the like, you get my drift. What happens when that friend turns around and wants to know how you think of them? What do you do?

Argh, talk about frustrating! Not to mention if said recipient of that news likes the friend back, so how do you go about letting each other know. I've always been a person of truth and if you like someone, you tell them and if not, well...let them down easy. If there were a way for one to know what the other was thinking without that awkward "does he/does she" scenario, please let me know!

So, back to the facts. Friends, of course, know you the best. You trust them so doesn't it make sense that you could possibly fall for one of them? Why do people warn you away from falling for a friend you've had for years? Is it because that friend knows your deep, dark secrets and how wild you are when you're single? Friends can see the beauty in you that even you can't see, this is a fact, and if that's true than yes, they love you...so why don't ALL of your friends fall in love with you?

Yes, I've been in love...many times, but not once have I ever dated a friend. Usually, if it doesn't work out, then they become friends but never the other way around. I don't want to lose my friends and have usually ruled out dating friends but maybe I'm wrong...maybe I should be trusting in my friends who know me the best and let them show me what it's like to be respected and spoilt.

Hmmm....just a thought....
