We live in a world where we label practically everything. This is especially true with boy-girl relationships.
If they aren't siblings, they're 'boyfriend and girlfriend'. Or, it's like, "I'm a girl and this person who I'm really close friends with is a boy, so he must be my boyfriend and I'm his girlfriend."
*inhales* Boi are you wrong.
Do you really have to be romantically-involved with every boy you become friends with? C'mon, tell the truth. Tell yourself the truth.
In society, two friends who are opposite genders are kind of expected to become boyfriend and girlfriend.
Talk about unfair expectations.
But why can't we girls just be friends with boys without any expectation of a romantic relationship coming out of it? Is there anything wrong with just a purely platonic relationship with someone of the opposite gender?
As I like to say (I got it from a meme don't sue me!): "He's my boy friend, not my boyfriend. Here that space in between? It's called the friend-zone."
(More on the "friend-zone" later)
So, what in the world is wrong with being "just friends" with someone of the opposite gender?
Absolutely nothing!
Besides, isn't it better to focus on becoming a better friend and a better person before you start dating and stuff?
