Friendship to Relationship to Regret.

So earlier today, I was sitting on the bus just thinking like I always do & my ex boyfriend popped in my head. It was awkward because besides when I see him, he doesn't really cross my mind. I just thought about the friendship we had, how it was easy to talk to him, and how he was like one of the best friends/people I had ever come to know. Then I slowly migrated into thinking about when we crossed the forbidden line. Our relationship was great and we tried it 3 times, but ultimately wasn't meant to be. *tear tear* yada yada. Then I was thinking...why in the blue fuck do people tell you to be friends before you decide to be in a relationship with someone?! Honestly, I like to disagree with that statement wholeheartedly! Don't get me wrong! I'm not with the:

Boy: "Hey baby! You sexy!"

Girl: "Ooo, yeah papi you are too!"

Boy: "You sexy & you know I'm sexy so uhhh, maybe we should be together."

Girl: "Ooo yeah baby. I think that idea."

And bow, you got a new relationship.

No. I don't condone that at all. You should get to know the person on a more mental level, of course, but take it from me, a person with personal experience on this issue, losing the friendship may not be all it. Of all my relationships, I have the most regrets with this one. When you are really close to someone and you decide to take the leap into a relationship, you let yourself fall way faster than you should without even knowing how they are in a relationship. The fact that they were your friend will make you give them more leeway and it just becomes a emotional roller coaster. & the worst part about it, you will NEVER get that friendship back. NEVER! Those of you that have a best friend of the opposite sex know how special that bond can be. Then when you choose to be friends again, you and the other person slip right back into your old ways. It's not worth the loss.

I know this post is kinda personal, but I just had you get that off my chest. It's something that I want to want to protect all the people I really care about from. Smdreads. I'll try to keep these post few and far in between.
