"The Dream of Someone..."
".......Without the love of your life already in view, it's a lot harder to be "just friends" with every guy you meet. But maybe, like Kathleen Kelly in "You've Got Mail," you can say, "No, but there's the dream of someone else..."
Stay true to that dream. Pretend your future husband is there beside you, watching. And maybe you'll find that it really is possible to be "just friends in a just do it world."
Meanwhile, remember, "Your life partner will be chosen from your circle of friends." Choose wisely who you hang out with.
And when you think there might be the spark of something more, give it time, time, and more time. In the words of Ella Wheeler Wilcox, "All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon the sand." But true friendship takes time. Let love to grow naturally, through friendship and time.
That way, if you give your friendship time, and love does not grow, you still have a friend. For as Charles Caleb Colton said, "Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship - never."
