platonic friends

hmm... was watching the channel 8 show beautiful trio (actually i watch because of the cute guy and gal).. n the cute guy likes the girl but she doesn't like him back. n the sad thing was that they were good friends. so the thing is is there such a thing as platonic friends?

honestly? i'm a firm believer of platonic friendships. the only thing is that most friendships between a guy n a girl will probably turn out to have some kinda romance. could be one sided or mutual. and it usually happens. usually. but then again i have certain guy friends who are really platonic friends. and i've kinda learned the secret for it. doesn't work on everyone tho. bcos before i start, i must mention that God created man n woman to be attracted to one another. but it is possible to have platonic friendships i strongly believe. i have a couple of platonic guy friends. the simplest way to keeping them as platonic friends is to not talk too late at night. night time's the worst because it's when u feel tired and become vulnerable. and the thing about this is that it's extremely easy to become emotionally attached. another way to prevent this is to talk less to the person. haha... the easiest thing to do is to ask for God's grace. there was a guy friend i hadn't talked to for ages and i wanted to check up on him see how he was doing. but the thing was i had a softspot for him and i didn't want to have a crush on him again. so i asked God what i shld do and i kept hearing over n over again that i shld sms him only when i got over my feelings. knowing me it's not easy. so i told God that i couldn't and praise God he saw me thru. when i felt ok now i should sms, when the guy replied i had no feeling at all except all that is within friends range. not even close to the line of softspot again.. really by God's grace. but when i told lydia she nearly slaughtered me. true it wasn't the safest thing to do but oh well! God was good anyway. He is good.

there is such thing as platonic friendships but i've realised they happen more often than not when u focus your eyes on Jesus and when you mature. n when the time comes u'll noe. got alot of things i wanna say but i can't put them in words so maybe one day i'll edit this one again

be blessed!
