platonic friendship


i recently finished watching this korean drama. the story was abt a man and a woman in their 30s who have been friends since young and due to circumstances, end up staying in an apt together as 'just friends'. as predictable, they end up liking each other and realise they belong together and cant live without each other and etc etc..happy ending!

this reminded me of a newspaper article that i read abt platonic friendships. does it work? it gave the classic example of monica and chandler from friends. they started out as good friends and then ended up together, marrying each other and happy ending! and then it talked abt when does friendship become a relationship. there's always tht fine line. and who makes the first move? and then there's the fear tht wat if the other person doesn't feel the same way? then does tht mean the friendship is over? these issues were all explored in the korean drama..ive been watching the drama over the last 2 wks already..

personally i have male frens. but i wouldnt call them my best friends. there's just too many things to worry abt..
1. if he is single and i'm not attracted to him --> fear he will end up liking me and i will have to reject him and then no more friendship
2. if he is single and i'm attracted to him --> has not happened before...LOL...but if it did, fear of him liking someone else and me stuck with a useless crush..not good..
3. if he is attached with a gf --> fear of making the gf jealous if i become too close and then becomes very bitchy..not good..
one kinda male fren i would like tho is the male gay fren. can do all the girl talk with him and ask his opinions as a guy with no fear of any potential relationship..still waiting for my male gay fren to show up..hahaha..

conclusion? no conclusion..im just being random. waiting for 'male gay fren' and 'male fren who is single and im attracted to' to show up. until then, keep hanging with my frens and i prob shuld stop thinking too much..haha..

on another note, i watched kung fu panda today! super duper funny...totally recommend it...prepare for awesomeness! heehee..
