Oh Baby You, Got What I Need...

Just Friends.

Let's just be friends. Have  you ever put someone in the friendzone?
Or better yet, have you been forcibly placed into that box?
The box that places limits on your interactions with your significant other?
I have been given privvy to very important information.
The fact of the matter is, being in the FRIEND ZONE is one of the best things for your relationship.
What's the rush anyway?
Are you so desparate for someone with whom you can hold hands, kiss, and hug?
Those should be the menial things in your relationship.
A truly strong relationship isn't based on fleeting feelings of desire and lust.
That's called infatuation.
If you can't see past the superficial nothings, then why do you want to be with this person in the first place.

Or maybe I should be asking why they would want to be with you?

Friendship gives you the freedom to be yourself.
There are no inhibitions between friends.
You don't have to hide who you really are in order for the someone to like you better.
It's that getting to know you period with no restrictions.
And if after much time has passed, you find that this person is offering something that your life could benefit from, go for it.
You can have the pleasure of telling the important people in your life that  you were friends before you became lovers.
