Happy Valentine’s Day to those who are celebrating! I know I have been slacking with the posts. Initially, I was busy with school. However, I’ve had a whole week off from school due to this massive snow storm we had. So, the lack of updates is kind of inexcusable. During the break, I spent a few days at my best friend’s house. We got on the subject of placing guys in the “friend zone” so I feel like this is an appropriate update for Valentine’s Day .

Why is it so bad to place a guy in the “friend zone?” It seems as though no guy wants to be deemed just a friend. From personal talks with guys, movies (500 Days of Summer <3), songs, etc., the friend zone has been given a negative connotation. It is something that guys look down upon. Now do not get me wrong. I understand that if you’re really interested in a person, you’re not truly interested in being just friends. The thing is, guys forget that just because a girl wants to be just friends does not indicate that she will never change her mind. There could be room to grow, you know.

I personally want to place guys there. I think the best kind of relationships are relationships that develop out of friendships. I want to be a guy friend’s first, rather than just immediately going on dates. That’s why I think I’m most likely to meet my husband while at school, volunteering somewhere, or at the workplace haha. I have learned that I am not really interested in dating first. I want friendship first, then build on that. I’ve spoken to a few friends and they, too, feel like this. Don’t immediately knock down the idea of being just friends with someone. It is not the end of the world. It could actually be a good thing.

My apologies if this blog is all over the place. I usually take time to gather my thoughts and I made this post without doing so lol. I hope it was coherent. Well, enjoy your day! Hope all is well with you guys .
