Anyway, at one point one of the other ladies asked me if I had a boyfriend and the whole table turned to hear my answer. I said that I didn't and there was almost an entire minute's worth of silence that followed. So awkward. And I would just like to know, how many times do boys get asked that by relatives and family friends? I feel like adults just assume that all guys are ladykillers and all girls are lost without them. I don't know, weird. So I'd just like to say some things I've been thinking about lately:
Dating My Friends
I think that guys and girls who really think they need a boyfriend/girlfriend obviously don't have friends like mine. My friends are the most important things in the world to me and easily top a boyfriend any day.
They are all my boyfriends. Even when they're girls.
It's like we're all dating...
--We take each other out on dates--We feed each other sincere compliments
--We share thoughts and opinions and dreams on a daily basis
--We call and text and message each other constantly
--We love each other like crazy
But not...
--We don't cheat on one another
--We don't lie to one another
--We don't do "breaks"
--There's no confusion as to whether we're "talking" or "dating" or "official"
--We're definitely not together just for sex
And that's definitely not to say that a typical relationship is ridiculous like that. I'm just saying that all the awesome things you have in a relationship, we have (minus the whole making out thing). And I love it. Sure, I've got crushes on boys but it's certainly never at the front of my mind or the top of my priority list. So thanks, friends, for being so damn amazing. Love Love Love
