What do you think?
I was chatting with a friend earlier (hola chad!!! :P) and we talked about relationships and friends (more about his friends though...hehehehehe :)) And he gave me a link about the movie "When Harry Met Sally". And towards the end of the first page it said...
While staying over in Washington, Harry proposes that they both have dinner together - as friends. He struggles to explain that he has an amendment to his earlier rule about relationships between men and women:
...They can't be friends...unless both of them are involved with other people. Then they can. This is an amendment to the earlier rule. If the two people are in relationships, the pressure of possible involvement is lifted. That doesn't work either. Because what happens then is the person you're involved with can't understand why you need to be friends with the person you're just friends with, like it means something is missing from the relationship and wanted to go outside to get it. Then when you say, 'No, no, no, no, it's not true, nothing is missing from the relationship,' the person you're involved with then accuses you of being secretly attracted to the person you're just friends with, which you probably are - I mean, come on, who the hell are we kidding, let's face it - which brings us back to the earlier rule before the amendment, which is men and women can't be friends.
...funny but i think there is some kind of truth to it :) I've seen friends of mine have "best friends" and they said stuff like "he's like my best friend...really!!!". Then one would eventually fall for the other. And the friendship more often than not falls apart after. All kinds of relationships are complicated. And not all friendships(and love relationships) last. People should just accept that :)
*today i am thankful for my own relationships and for the past weekend which i was able to spend with great friends :)

This looks weirdly familiar... Anyway, I have YET to encounter a relationship/friendship wherein this is applicable. I've broken it down many times over believe me. For me I think, it takes time, conviction / mutual & firm decision (to just be friends) to make it work.
hey hey :) ahh you have a point :) i guess a part of me never really believed na a girl and guy can be just friends if nasa situation na best friends sila (sila lang and wala na silang ibang best friend). gets? :) pag dating naman sa barkada barkada/great friends i think possible naman tlga :) hehehe
