Gret: Do you a relationship between a guy and a girl can ever by purely platonic?
Germaine:(thinking hard)i want to say yes, but a part of me says NO.
Gret:from your experience?
Germaine:...no
Gret:me too...
although there is a major diff between our experience. Her good guy friends usually likes her eventually. as for me, my good guy friends are just my good guy friends cos they like one of my other gal friends. pathetic, huh? guess germaine has that kind of charm that makes her irresistable to guy huh? (ok,she is so going to add detergent in the next dish she cooks for me :P sorry germ. just stating my honest opinion here...)
anyway,i've always wondered abt this question. and like germ,i wish i can say that such a relationship can happen between a guy and a gal. but sadly, all facts seem to point in the opp direction. sure,maybe in the initial phase, it's just pure friendship. but as time goes on, the friendship gets "polluted" with other emotions.
i guess it's an innate thing for guys and girls to be attracted to each other. like the process of making friends in the human world is extrapolated from the way animals seek out potential mates in the wild? ok,i am making this sound really low-grade. but i think humans, no matter how clever, are unable to dissociate themselves from the most natural instinct of the animal kingdom - perpetuation of species.
i guess most of the time, we just assume the other party doesn't like us (if we dun like them in the first place...) but, as the old saying goes, friendship is the foundation for love and marriage. everything starts from being friends first. maybe it's just a matter of time? or maybe, such relationship do exists. just that with my limited social interaction,i dunno abt it.
forever friends or maybe lovers? well, i guess only time can tell.
