Just Friends?

Was out in Serdang yesterday, when we paid Yuet Pei a visit. Yuet Pei is a dear old friend, a very nice person and also a babe (Heh, she always claims that she's the best 'product' Kampar ever produced *ehem ehem*) Known her ever since we entered MMU. She was my neighbour, my regular makan kaki and the chick that a lot of guys wanted to be with (yea, even non Christian ones, you should have seen the fan club outside the house during her 18th b'day)

As dear and close as we are, we're just good friends, platonic friends, nothing more. Which brings me to the topic, Can guys just be friends with gurls? What's with being attached to the 1st gurl (or guy, if u're a gurl) you've got to know better and are attracted to? Heck, some people don't even know the other person when they 1st start dating.

And do we have to try to get attached to the 1st person we find attractive? It sometimes irks me to see people thinking in such narrow minded ways. And what happens when they find that their girlfriend are not really that 'ngam' with them? Heh, they break up.

Isn't it so much easier to be friends 1st without any romantic attachments involved? There's so much less pressure of having to try to impress her and being someone you're not. After all, she'll get to know the real you one day or another. And gone is the awkwardness of trying to make conversation, good conversation.

Anyways, another thing that irks me is the fact that at university level, there are still some people who would go around teasing a guy being friends with a girl. Such teasing makes situations awkward for both guy and gal, and I guess it either drives people apart (for the fear of being teased, and this usually happens) or closer. Mebbe the people who go around teasing actually has personal interest in that girl and do not like other people to get to know her better? I dunno..*sigh* Why can't they start talking to her instead of teasing?

Once you've reached my age, you'll actually see things from a different perspective. Teasing and gossiping about these becomes childish pursuits that are irritating. Do you actually see people in their mid twenties teasing a guy who's friends with a girl?

Anyway, to sum it up, Is your girlfriend (or the person you're attracted to) someone you can relate to, share with, do things with and spend mundane time with? It's something I learnt from a dear girl-friend.

Last but not least, to the girls that I've been learning from, lepaking around with and made life in MMU so much more colorful, in no particular order of significance:

Yuet Pei, Michelle Ding, Melisa Ann, Charis Liew, Sarah Lee, Connee Lim, Tan Chern Yen & You Jane'nette

Thanks again
