Female Friends.
Alex told me today, that I should not be taken advantage of by female friends.. That I should not do the job of the boyfriend without the perks of holding hands, kissing, et al. I agree theoretically. I should not be that willing to be the second choice. It isn't like they thought of me first right? I'm just a convenience, nothing more. Just a second fiddle filling in the gap left by the unwilling first.
However, they are friends, and I do want to maintain a certain relationship with them. Plus its not as if it were purely a one-sided utilitarian arrangement. What I have, is time and boredom. So as long as there isn't something more interesting to do, and the frequency of requests ain't too high or the demands ain't too.. well, demanding, I have no objections to a little fellowship.
Of course, if the female friend does not reciprocate the attention and the favours.. I am sorry but goodbye (and good riddance). And well, its not as if it were that easy for them to be my friends anyway.
And I shall end this with a quote from Alex:
"Make them fall for you without falling for them yourself."
Ideal, but sometimes the second part ain't that easy man.. haha
