I watched a few Chinese drama, especially those TVB ones, or Chinese movies.
There are always stories about a girl and a guy, who are very close but not lovers.
It's always either the girl or the guy have their own partner, but then the girl and the guy are close.
Sometime they end up falling in love, sometime they're just friends.
Now this kinda story happens to me.
I have a friend, a guy who is quite close to me.
Yes, just "quite", not "so" or "very".
We are just friends.
I have a steady boyfriend(this time I mean partner) But then again, my friends always tease me about him.
We never met for dinner ormovie.
He's never visited my home, neither I've ever been to his place.
Is it just because of we always talk to each other regarding a lot of common interest?Or is it because of I helped him choosing his career path? Or maybe because he always asked me about suggestions on professional courses when there were many others to ask to? We participate in all common meets and my friends end up saying "You won't go anywhere without him".
I've talked to few close friends of mine who are already married and learned that it is dangerous to have a close boy friend after marriage as my partner will surely have objections.
It's not that he does not know about my friend, but he has never said anything specifically.
But may be he'll start minding once he ties up the knot finally.
It's also a very common phrase that "after a certain age, boys and girls cannot be just friends, there has to be some kind of special chemistry between them".
Isn't that pretty strange as we try to define age limit for an eternal term like friendship?
