Have Your Friends Get With My Friends…

When Harry Met Sally is the cliché opposite sex-friends movie, their life long friendship sees them through marriages, divorces, life itself until they end up bumping uglies and find themselves in the classic eighties movie scene of discomfort. Cue in Hispanic dude, hands to face: “Aye yai yai!” Pobracitos.

Most all of you BooBoo lovers have been in some sort of conundrum where friendship either crossed the line or was stopped at the ‘lovers’ border (keeping you in the friends zone). More often then this, one can deduce that feelings blossom and wilt for our friends, going unnoticed because ya’ll are shy, scared or maybe even entertaining a bf or gf yourself. Can the women and the men really be just friends, pure in intention and without any residual romantic feelings?

Sure we can. Well, kinda. It all depends on our maturity levels and how much or long you’ve had your friend boner for. And how honest you and friend have been about whatever the hell is going on. Lets face it- all of our relationships contain qualities that we desire in a romantic relationship. Trust, honesty, fun, like goals- you catch my drift. Makes it easy to want to take it to the physical… if you BooBoos realize this, say- YEARS in to the friendship its going to be awkward, there’s going to be a risk factor of losing the time you invested in this friendship and that ‘ish can be scary. If you and your friend are attracted to each other right off the bat and bang away- there may not be enough left to sustain a friendship. We don’t know if there’s a right answer when to lay it on your friends, just go with the flow and feel ‘em out. Be mature about it and keep in mind how important the friendship itself is as well as the things that would hang in the balance is you hooked up or got shot down.

The worst is when people bottle those secret lover feelings inside. Don’t let this happen to you BooBoos. Nothing is worse than seeing your buddy all twisted because he couldn’t tell his best friend he wants to have her babies. Not dealing with all that love often leads to mounds of jealousy and hate- toxic shit that your healthy life doesn’t need. To love your friends is to want what’s best for them, and that’s always their happiness. So if you can’t tell your friend, your friend isn’t interested or has a significant other- Be happy if your buddy is happy and know that your love is pure. Go on with your life, but since you kept your friend close ya’ll may be able to share that awkward Harry & Sally humping moment later. Mama BooBoo loves that for you… just leave out that blonde ass perm.
