The mind games that people play with each other are kind of ridiculous, especially the games we play with the opposite sex. We don't want to fully like someone until we know if they like us. That's where the games come into play. Playing hard to get is one of the oldest trick in the book.
Recently, I decided to play hard to get. Once I started to do this the kid I was crushing on completely backed off. I wonder if he felt like this:
I denied liking this boy, but once he stopped trying I realized how much I actually liked him. I wanted so bad for him to fight for me and when he didn't I was bummed.
I had a friend tell me that if he didn't stand on top of a coffee cart and declare his love for me, he wasn't worth it.
Most boys suck. They lead you on and just when you start to think things might be going somewhere, they turn around and dump you to the curb. Luckily for me, I've found a boy who I know will be there for me no matter what. He's hilarious, witty, unusual, and the perfect guy for me.
The begging question, can guys and girls really be "just friends." There are many opinions on this subject. Some say yes while others say no.
I don't think guys and girls can be "just friends." Either the guy or the girl will want something more to happen. While one person may think they are fine being "just friends" the other will secretly wish for something more.
Then, there's always the dreaded "Friend Zone." Being put into the "Friend Zone" is never a fun time. Often times, we let ourselves get thrown into this zone. It's the zone where we go when we tell ourselves, "I'd rather be friends than be nothing." But being "just friends" isn't always good. Most the time those feelings don't just disappear. Your "friend" will think that you are perfectly content on being "just friends," but in reality you're still wishing someday things will work out.
So...if you think you and your "friend" are good at being "just friends" you're fooling yourself.
