Imagine this: 

                                                              

<< this happens! Hahaha!

Pasensya na, may pagkamorbid ako. ROPFL. *Rolling on a polished floor, laughing*  Syempre ayoko sa madumi gumulong gulong di ba? Haha. 

Oh poor you. You thought all along that it was more than friendship but buzz, buzz you thought wrong. She just sees you as a friend or even worse, a brother. (For the love of pancakes and waffles!) I think a lot of people go through this phase in life. You might be asking yourself this ancient question: 

The gurus have searched far and wide, have swam the deepest oceans, have lowered themselves into the deepest pits, have gone through valleys and mountain peaks, have found Nemo and friends but that question remains unanswered. Haha. 

Eto na seryoso na. I'm gonna try my best not to sound like Joshua Harris, okay? 

Nothing beats love that is founded on friendship. While that might be true, it can also be very tricky. What if the feelings aren't mutual? Should love then be canceled? I'd like to answer these questions with questions. Questions that might shed light to your dimming heart.

I think it's also important to check your motives. If the reason why you pursued a friendship with him/her is not of pure intentions then be sure to see big Xs everywhere. X equals wrong. You're just setting yourself up for a terrible heartache.

If the answer is 'yes', what should you do then? You have to let the feelings go. Sounds difficult, right? It's like staying in the "Truce Village". There's a big gate there and on it is a great neon sign (yes, it's a neon sign) that says "DO NOT CROSS THE BORDER OR ELSE.". The more you get 'no', the more tempting it is. You often wonder what's it like to live on the other side of the strip. 

What's the best thing to do? Do not build a nest for the birds that are flying around your head. If seemingly pleasant thoughts play in your mind, shoo em all away! Talk to a friend or better yet, find an accountability partner - preferably someone of your gender. But of course, you have to be careful in choosing who you confide to. That person has to have a Christ-like character. He/She must be someone who you can trust and can pray for you. A darting stare from him/her might also help. Hihi.

Simple lang yan. We cannot teach people what they ought to feel. If that person doesn't feel the same then it could either be because of these two things: the timing is not right OR you're just not meant for each other (slap!). 

It often takes time for a good friendship to develop. This also means that you have to do a lot of waiting. If you think you've prayed hard enough and have waited long enough but still, nothing is happening, you might wanna try to just let it go. It may not be easy but you can always ask God to protect your emotions and prepare you for that which He has made ready for you. Who knows? He/she just might be around there somewhere, lurking in the shadows. Hehe. ;)

You know, I really wanna post more questions and answers on here but it'll just consume all the bandwidth in cyberspace. Hehe. Ganito lang naman yan e, mas madali kung ang pipiliin mong maging friend or bestfriend ay yung of your gender. It'll save you gallons of tears. Hindi ba mas maganda kung yung first ever guy/girl bestfriend mo ay yung taong magiging lifetime partner mo na rin? Pano mo gagawin yan? Pray. Ask God to give you wisdom. We often ask Him to give us wisdom on other things but never on this one, tama? 

Walang taong bobo pagdating sa pag-ibig, kulang lang sa wisdom. Hehe. I am able to say all these because I'm speaking from experience. Trust me. LOL.

P.S. Thanks for visiting. Don't forget to leave your comments. Thank you. Sa tagalog, wag ka ng mahiya! Hehe!
