What is A Friend?
What iS a FrienD? I'll tell You.
It is A person with whom yOu daRe to Be
YourSelf - YoUr Soul can Go naKed with Him
He Seems to Ask YoU to put oN notHing,
ApPreCiating YoU foR wHo you truthfully are.
WheN you aRe with him, YoU do Not haVe to Be
On Your Guard. You Can SaY wHat you think,
So loNG As it iS Genuinely You.
He Understands the Contradictions in Your
natuRe which caUSe otheRs To
MisJudge you. With him You Breathe freely...
YoU Can profesS yOuR little VanitieS,
enVies and aBsurdities - and in oPening
them uP to hiM, they aRe VaniShed
onto tHe White oCean oF hiS loYalty.
He UnderStanDs. You caN weeP witH him,
lauGh with him, pRay wiTh Him...
throUgh It all, he sees, Knows and LoVes YoU.
*All the qualities I look for in a guy summed up in one Blue Magic mini banner
*The irony of ironies is that it was given by a guy friend after I inconclusively turned down his invitation to a [Valentine's] date...*sheepish grin*
*Fact:
Somebody asking me on a date FREAKS me out. I know I'm being weird but honestly, why can't a guy just casually invite me to eat somewhere or just befriend or get to know me first before professing his intentions of wanting to have a more than platonic relationship with me?
Everybody thinks I'm mean, which at times I am, but can I help it if I fly off the handle when some random guys asks me out or expresses his desire to "get to know me better"?...which I think is all crap because the time one allots to "get to know someone better" (geez, this phrase sickens me) is better apportioned among various tasks that are more important.
Trust me, the "Getting to know" part is like a feasibility study where one invests time, money, and effort looking at the possibility of a particular business' existence, it's survival rate, the risks involved, and a 10-year projection of its income. Great if the study proves feasible, if it isn't then all or most of your investment (which costs a fortune) goes down the drain. If the "getting-to-know" part proved infeasible, than what? You and the other person just stop talking to each other? Ugh!
I was deeply sorry for turning down the guy friend's offer. I mean, I'm just not the Dating type. And even if I had a boyfriend, I probably wouldn't saunter around town looking for the best restaurant where we could celebrate Feb. 14 (which isn't a real holiday anyway) like everybody else. I might have joined him for a casual walk from ABC to Silliman though (that is, if I didn't know about his intentions), or a casual spontaneous dinner at one of the city's eateries. He could've waited for us to bond really well and I might have accepted his offer.
God I give up. I am a mean girl... *defeated sigh*
