“and then I told him, he’s such a great friend”

friendzone2

According to Urban Dictionary which as we know is oh so very accurate, the Friend Zone is what you attain after you fail to impress the person that you’re attracted to and is usually initiated by the girl saying something along the lines of “you’re such a good friend to me” BUT not always as yes, contrary to popular belief – females can be friendzoned too.

So, let’s just be real for a minute; does the Friend Zone actually exist?

…

You’re talking to somebody that you’re quite attracted to and could see a potential future with (perhaps only a near future but a future nonetheless) and they tell you that they see you as a great friend and automatically you think FUCK! FRIEND ZONE! Eurgh. Grow up.

In my eyes I can’t see what’s so bad about that and if you take offence then you’re seriously not right in the ‘ed. Ok, granted it may feel a bit embarrassing that the person you’re attracted to only regards you as a friend but really and truly, what else are they going to call you? You’re not their partner so until then, friends it is.

Alternatively, should you be regarded as a friend for as long as you know this person then that too isn’t always a bad thing. I mean, there has to come a point where you look at the bigger picture. The one past your genitals…

From my perspective; my friendship is a very valuable thing so if you want to be friends then I’m afraid you’re going to have to earn it – if I regard you as a friend I’m going to have to trust you and trust isn’t something you just give out, it has to be gained (word to Teyana T) so I guess what I’m trying to say here is if I offer you my friendship you best be fucking grateful.

Personally, I find the general attitude toward the ‘Friend Zone’ extremely childish and tedious. I thought most people would rather form a friendship with someone but apparently not.

Friendship isn’t something you should detest. In fact, it should be looked upon as an honour.

This Friend Zone only exists if you allow it too. Firstly, people forget you don’t HAVE to be a friend to someone if you don’t really want to be, if you just wanted to hump and dump then simply move on. Secondly, unless you physically do something worth earning a label you’re never going to be more than a friend and thirdly, should there be a zone, YOU CAN FUCKING ESCAPE IT.

P.S. I still think this Friend Zone term is for people that can’t handle rejection. Seek help.

A hopeless romantic with less of the fool.

prude [pruːd]

– a person who affects or shows an excessively modest, prim, or proper attitude, esp regarding sex

[from French, from prudefemme, from Old French prode femmerespectable woman; see proud]

I myself have been labelled a prude on many occasions by those that don’t know me at all and if the definition is anything to go by then perhaps yes, yes I am a prude.
Well, 50%.

I suppose I’m a prude in the sense that I do hope to come across ‘prim and proper’ simply because I was raised correctly and I want to exert this in the way I carry myself – I don’t want people to look at me acting in a scatty and degrading manner and question my parents ability of raising a child, I have far too much respect for them for that but does that mean that I shrivel up inside at the thought of the topic of sex? HELL FRIGGING NO! I’m an adult for Pete sake.
Sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sexy time sex.
(I said an adult, not a mature adult).

I cannot emphasise enough that just because a female doesn’t wish to discuss the topic of sex with anyONE and anyTHING doesn’t mean to say that she is a prude. Firstly, why are females even being portrayed so negatively simply for wanting to keep their personal business private? Is this really what it has came to? Demeaning a lady for actually possessing an ounce of self-respect? How backwards is that? And then you boys want to cry about not being able to find a good girl after dismissing every girl that doesn’t dabble in the exchange of nudes for being frigid?
The bloody cheek of it.

Does it really make me a prude for believing in good old-fashioned romance?

I for one still appreciate the awkwardness of first dates where the majority of the conversation is held through smiles.
The build up to the first touch…
The first kiss.
Cherishing every moment spent together without orgasms being involved.
Gaining the privilege to see parts of the individual that others don’t get to see.
The passion behind the fingertips as they peel away the hair from your neck instead of the clothes from your skin…

I mean excuseeeee me for wanting someone to explore my mind before my thighs, gosh.

Some say I’m living in the wrong era to be expecting all of these things from modern men and y’know what, perhaps I am but I’ll wait and if I’m referred to as a prude every day till then well so be it.
I’ll wait whether that means I’m single for another year or another 10.
I’LL WAIT.
Why? Because really what other choice do I have? To fall for a guy who can whisper sweet nothings in my ear and make me cum? No thank you.
I’m a hopeless romantic but not an idiot; I refuse to settle for less.

P.S. Charming if you’re reading this, @ me 😉
