"Just Friends"

You have a bestfriend of the opposite sex and you spend a lot of time with them together, sometimes too much time. The closeness is to the point where people thinks you're dating each other or that you guys hiding your feelings towards each other. It's as if they WANT or think that you SHOULD be together. In the end, you would answer them with the same ol' boring (and true) answer, "No... We're just friends."

- PAUSE -

This is where everybody would doubt you and they would tease you. They simply don't believe that you can just be friends that close without feeling for each other.

Don't you hate this? You're tired of explaining them that you're simply friends and nothing more than that. You're simply like brother and sister. You would die for each other, you would admit that they're important to you, and you would admit that you don't know what would you do without them in your life, but it's because of that brotherly/sisterly love. You simply can't see being in a relationship with them. You're simply happy to be just friends and a relationship upgrade just doesn't feel right. This 'just friends' relationship is sometimes your number one priority, that it actually eclipsed your romantic relationship priority.

Your pet peeve would actually be people trying to set you up with this one friend. (It's simply so hard these days to say "We're just friends" and have people believe it).  The saying of "he/she not my boy/girlfriend is always overlooked because once again, people just doesn't believe you.

The last thing would be when people asks you, "Why don't you go out with them?"

Simple answer would be, "Why not?"

Alas, we don't live in such a simple world. We live in a world which demands explanation.

There can be reasons why you don't go out with them. Maybe it's because both of you have someone else in mind, or maybe you even tried it, but decided that it's really the best solution to stay friends and keep it that way. In the end, you probably just never had the sexual attraction towards them and sometimes this relationship is all you need in your young age, where commitment is just hard to find and that right person is nowhere to be seen... yet.
