I just don't understand why every time a girl and a guy are best friends, everyone always assumes that they are either dating or have secret feelings for each other. is it really that hard to just accept the fact that we really are best friends? that he is my best friend? yes I love him but in a way that no one else understands because they are too hooked on the stereotypes that girls and boys must always be together if they like to spend time with each other.
