How to date your Best Friend.

My friends are so important in my life. I couldn’t survive with out them.  If it weren’t for my friends I’d be floundering around.  After hanging out with my friend the other night I’m reconsidering this whole dating thing. Why should I risk surrounding my self with possible alligators that will try to destroy my life?  I’m finally gotten my life back on track and I don’t want to risk getting off track by dating the wrong people.  I don’t think I’m being unrealistic in my most recent fear.   I’ve been dating some really nice guys lately, but I’m still really weary of being sucked down the wrong path.  I’m realizing that even with all my life experiences I’m still really gullible at times and way too forgiving.  Unfortunately I don’t have the strongest foundation and am easily swayed in the wind.

I still don’t get the whole “friend zone” thing. Why can’t I date my friends? They are a sure thing. They totally love and care about me and are always looking out for my best interest.  Why should I risk going out with a total stranger that could turn out to be a mass murder or something.  We are all aware that in general soon as you meet someone they do their best to hid all their monsters in their closet and put forth their best efforts to be an upstanding citizen.  No one is going to tell you on the first date that soon as they marry you they plan on chopping you in a million pieces and living off your life insurance.  So, why not date your friends. These are people that you have known long enough that you know which monsters they keep in their closets and you have chosen that as bad as they are they are worth putting up with.

With that being said I think the best thing for me is date my best friend and after much planning and plotting I’ve finally figured out how I’m going to do it.  Remember the movie Stepford wives?   Well I’m going to do as she did and build myself the perfect man.  I will take some of the qualities that I totally love in my best friend and take some of the other qualities in my other best friend, and some of the other qualities of my other best friend and mold him into a single man.  If only that were possible.
