"We are just friends." One of the most common answer we hear when someone asks someone else about her relationship with him. It maybe true, it may not be true. It really all depends on how they feel about each other.

If they are just friends, so what? Why insist that they are not, if they really are just friends. Yes, they care about each other, they have been seen together often and they are just inseparable. Those doesn't really give us the right to judge them. Only both of them known what is the real score.

In reality, there really are a lot of guys and girls who are just friends. Yes, they are simply friends, no more no less. I strongly believe that if you would want to keep someone or have someone for the rest of your life without the need for a commitment, make him/her your friend.

Is friendship not enough between a boy and a girl? Should they always go beyond the boundaries of friendship? Of course not. But it all depends on how things would go between both as days or years would pass. There are times where in friends would eventually turn out as lovers, but there are also instances when friends would just stay friends for life. Both situation are the same. Concerned parties both care, love and understand each other. Except for those benefits you gain when you are already together as a couple. Friendship is also a special relationship. It differs from any other relationship since it grasps the entirety of all relationship.

I used to have a lot of guy friends. We share the same passion for things. And what I felt for them is nothing beyond friendship. We do share a lot of stuffs. We care and understand each other, but when you see someone as a friend and deep in your heart you knew that you can just be friends, then it is in friendship that it all starts and ends. I met my husband, then on, I realize that our relationship is not merely between just friends. I know we are more than that and it happened. So it is really up to the parties concerned if they would just want to stay the way things are or move on to the next level. You can always tell whether the relationship is going somewhere or not.

But we can never be certain too. What if something unexpected would happen along the way of friendship. And from she-is-just-someone the feeling suddenly changed to she-is-the-one. And upon realizing that, you still have the choice of moving forward as friends or way beyond that. We all have choices, and those choices eventually determines what we become in the future.
