Always the best friend..
Since my last relationship, I have adopted a new "program" for my social affairs when it comes to dealing with girls. It's read "Always the best friend, never the boyfriend". So far so good, it's been nothing but fun. (God, I sound like "Hitch" *eww*)It is going to happen again today. I will meet one of my close friends from college. She will share the story of how she and her new boyfriend hooked up. As I've always been there, I will listen again. I will laugh with her, tell her a joke or two, share what's up with my life, etc.
Then here's the thing -- I am usually asked this -- "eh you, when ka magkaka girlfriend ulit?". I consistently say the same thing. "coz girl, I haven't met anyone who has made me as crazy as the one who left". (Actually, the last girl I really really wanted was in a relationship, so I just looked it over). After all that reasoning, at least I explained that my attitude wasn't that of a cynic. For someone who has had the blessing of the "gift" come to them, I'm sure you know the feeling. You won't even realize it happening. It just will, at a time you least expect.
So while I'm very sobber, I'm telling my best friend, I know what I'm doing. More importantly, I was joking pa nga -- "what if I get a girlfriend? So we will be meeting less and less, since the priorities will have to be shifting?"
When I have my quiet time to myself, I sometimes think of what life would be like in the future should the gift not come anymore. I would continuously be saying "hi" to a lot of people, I can hang out with any girl, and have a really grand time -- but go home on my own. Yeah I guess that's the ticket to it all.. you have to accept the fact that you won't be escorting someone to her place. Well that's the "boo-hoo" side talking. As long as I feel satisfied at the end of the day with how I nurtured the relationships with the friends I have now, that is enough.
