So, as I was saying in Part 1, there is the rare case that a friendship-turned-relationship that could work out, however let's see SCENARIO B...
Boy and Girl are very good friends. They get along great, they hang out with the same group of friends, and hell, sometimes they're so comfortable around each other that they end up doing things one on one - like studying, shopping, etc. Boy begins to enjoy Girl's company so much that he begins to have thoughts of "what if" they went out. Girl is always on Boy's mind and Girl seems to be really nice. Girl's nice to everyone, she's fun, she's hyper, she can get along great with everyone. Boy thinks that there may be a possibility that Girl may feel the same way about Boy. Boy thinks of all the possibilities of the turn out of a possible confession - Girl feels the same way, or Girl doesn't ... and then their friendship will turn awkward. However, Boy decides to take a chance, because he really wanted to get it off his chest otherwise he'd still be wondering if she could feel the same way.
The confession of Boy finally happened with the Girl. Unfortunately, Girl did not feel the same way and continually stressed that she treats everyone the same way - with the same amount of niceness and attention. Their friendship became awkward and Girl really wondered why Boy would do such a thing to change their friendship. Boy said he really wanted to get it off his chest and let it out into the open. Girl wants to continue being friends but does not know how to without feeling like Boy is expecting something in return; she feels as if he is doing everything to try to get her to like him back. Girl decides to pretend as if nothing happened, but Boy seems to be getting more needy ...
Needless to say, Girl decides that closure is needed despite her love for their friendship. She feels that maybe as time passes,
"out of sight, out of mind"
would do the trick.
Okay, what do you guys think? Do you think "getting it off your chest" is a good idea?
I personally think that things should happen naturally, things come and go. If Girl liked Boy back, it would show without Boy needing to confess expecting something in return.
So no, I don't think some chances should be taken.
Agree/disagree? Have you ever found yourself in this situation? What happened and how did you handle it?

First off, i feel so special for the shout out:)
ReplyDeleteAnyways... I say we only live once. We can't let our fear stand in the way. I say I would always come clean and tell my friend I have feelings for them. In the end, even if the feeling isn't mutual your friendship should be able to still exist.... and if it can't then is it a real friendship in the first place?
What should Boy do to repair the awkwardness so that both Boy and Girl can move on and be friends again?
