The (insert-gender-here)friend factor

     So yeah I'm video blogging now apparently. If you watch the first one you'll realize why I started. Even though I like the 2nd one more. Thats where I started getting the handle on my sparkling wit. Ha-ha. But watch them, they're funny. Especially the 2nd one.
     Okay!
     So what I really want to talk about is the boyfriend-girlfriend factor? That's what I call it anyway. Because the gf/bf factor is where your entire relationship changes with a person whether it be platonic or romantic and it's all because of a significant other. This hasn't happened to me, yet,
but it totally could.
      Because, say... your friend gets a girlfriend or boyfriend. Then they suddenly start straying from YOU because they want to spend time with their significant other. It starts as blowing you off once or twice at the movies to help their person with homework or whatever. Then they stop making plans with you altogether which at first is fine until you realize that the other person is all your former best friend thinks about. Which would suck. I call this phase 2 of the factor

     And then the other factor in the gf/bf factor (phase 1) is when you become the bf or gf and then your best friendship that was purely platonic in the beginning is suddenly romantic and you know you are doing the right thing because you love this person in more-than-a-friend-way but then everything slips. Because it used to be, he could sit with his friends that you don't really like some days and you could sit with yours that he's not crazy about but now everyone expects you to ALWAYS sit together so now you do and suddenly you run out of subjects because you can no longer talk about your other friends because there are no other friends which in turn becomes phase two. And now you're always together so each of you knows every little thing about each other and there is no new anything. See? It's a whole thing.

But then theres the exception in which case the best friend and best friend are still best friends while one of the best friends has another person and it's all okay.
And then the other exception is when you and your best friend start being more than friends and it was indeed a match made in heaven so it all works and his friends are your friends and vice versa and life is happy forever like those original Disney movies.
