Just a thought...

I finally managed to catch "Crash" at GV Marina with Jon today and I must say it was simply a very touching and meaningful movie! Jon liked it too!=)Glad I could watch it before it ends.Everyone told me that I will surely cry like crazy when I watch the movie but surprisingly,only a few drops of tears formed la..the last part of the show when Sandra Bullock hugged her housekeeper etc..I also love the little girl in the movie who was so awfully pretty and sweet!
Not only the movie was great, the company was gd too..I really enjoyed myself catching up with Jon,doing silly things and telling each other serious and silly stuff too.He really is such a wonderful friend and I truly treasure his friendship alot.However, this triggered off something that I remembered from my conversation with my cousin Teresa.Perhaps its cos of the fact that Jon kept telling me about a gal in his faculty whom he has a slight interest in and I could feel that if he indeed gets a gf soon, I'll definitely see him much lesser and we'll def drift apart somehow...
Can a guy and a girl have a purely platonic friendship?This was what we were discussing at a family chalet yesterday. Although Jon may be my bestest guy fren now, is it possible that this friendship will still remain strong and purely platonic in the future?I then realized that in the past, I had many best guy friends from time to time, at least to me they were my best friends la. But the similarity was we may be really close as friends for a period of time but after one of us got attached, we just drifted away from each other.
Teresa said something which struck me alot.Platonic friendships only exist if both parties are single or if only one party likes the other party. The guy then becomes the girl's best friend and vice versa if both parties click very well. But all this will change if either one of or both of them gets attached. Cos then they will have commitments to fulfill and have less time for their friends,especially friends of the opposite sex.This is very true based on my personal experience. Getting too close to friends of the opposite sex may also bring about lots of complications in a couple's relationship.
So what I am actually afraid of is that Jon will someday just move on with his own life, and the fact that we were actually close friends will just fade away with time. I know that the same thing might happen to me as well,as in I will move away from Jon once I get attached but I really hope that wont happen..cos I really wanna have a best guy friend throughout my life. That will be very special to me.I still wanna believe that platonic friendships can and do exist, at least for my case, at least for Jon and me....
