"Just Friends" Bullshit

by nickb on February 2nd, 2003

“Just Friends” that is the title of an upcoming movie. Its also an incredibly popular way of ending a relationship.

Why? Well because if it isn’t mutual or its shoved down the other persons throat, its a way of sparing the person who had to say “just friends” a lot of guilt and pain because this way they’re just “rephrasing” the relationship, and saying “I don’t like you enough to call you my boyfriend, but I don’t want to hurt you by telling you to get the hell out of my world.”

Well, guess what, I think “Just Friends” is fucking cruel. Because it doesn’t fully and fairly deal with the other person. It gives them the hope and dreams that “we’ll go through ‘just friends’ for a while and then we’ll be back together.” Why don’t people just really say what they mean. Instead of saying “just friends” say “I don’t want to date you, I don’t feel that way for you, and if you’d like audition to be one of my friends, and take a big fucking step down on my priority scale, so far down that you’ll never see me again.”


Bitter? Me? You bet.
