<p>Until we meet again :).</p>

I think you’re right though. I never thought about it that way (I try not to admit I’m that shallow). When I daydream about a bloke I tend to pick an attractive one. Not even just that but someone who would make me seem more desirable. I never thought of why I did it but it makes sense. Guys want their girl (There’s a song about it) girls want their guy. Not just for themselves but also for the pride of having one. This has unintended consequences, such as encouraging a relationship for the sake of a relationship. Or asking a girl out when she’s clearly giving you ‘not interested’ vibes ((Low blow to a guy whose not even on this site. Yeah I’m still bitter)).
I guess it’s all a big show. I really appreciate your analogy <3</p>
<p>I think it’s a broad generalization to say that people want lovers partly to look good or that everyone revels in showing others their personal relationships. that doesn’t apply to everyone. the thing is, you’re less aware of the ones who are quiet about their personal relationships, because they don’t tell anyone about their personal relationships.</p>
<p>^ I suppose not. I have found a pattern in the quiet relationships. They end quickly. Now it might just be high school or I might have only noticed these ones but… All relationships that dont kiss in the halls tend to end quicker then those that do. Maybe because the kissing relationships now have something to prove</p>
<p>^I know a high school couple that’s never even kissed at all, and they’re going on 4 years together…=P</p>
<p>^ Really? I’m impressed. But I’m guessing they have the best friend thing down which certainly helps :P</p>
<p>^ I don’t really know about many high schooler relationships, so I can’t say much about that. However, I know many quiet relationships which lasted for people who had already left high school.</p>
<p>maybe the less quiet relationships last more in high school, because, like you said, those people have something to prove. I suppose it would seem worse to end a relationship when everyone is telling you how perfect you two are together. especially in high school, when social expectations seem to last so long</p>
<p>EDIT: this was supposed to be referring back to post 24</p>
<p>^ True. I know nothing of relationships outside of school so I wouldnt know how that works and it’s not to say all loud relationships last. Most die quite abruptly. High schools all about the social impact of your decisions in the real world I guess it’s a little more what you actually enjoy</p>

<p>I love veiled stabs at others :).</p>
<p>Iceqube, honestly you should be a philosopher :)</p>
<p>I wonder what Qube’s smiley-face to posts ratio is. :)</p>
<p>:) You flatter me microphakia! :)</p>
<p>Anyway, I haven’t noticed a clear trend in how “loud” a relationship is and how long it lasts. Some seem to last forever. Some last as long as a mayfly. All run the gamut of “loudness.” </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This has always confused me. Why can’t one be best friends and lovers at the same time?</p>
<p>I think people can be best friends and lovers at once. That actually reminds me of a Boy Meets World episode.
“Cory and I have been best friends all our lives. And, um, this wedding’s been kinda hard for me because I know - no matter how much we may avoid talking about it - Cory and I aren’t gonna be best friends forever. Things are changing between us. Things have always been changing. We’ve had to deal with life … and death … and Feeny. But no matter what we faced, we always faced it together. So, then how can we possibly be upset with each other on his wedding day? Well, it’s because deep down I think Cory and I both know that we’re not gonna be best friends anymore. And that’s the way it should be. So, this is to Topanga: Cory’s wife … and new best friend.”</p>
<p>^ I’m sorry I see I made it sound like a crack at lovers being best friends. I meant the fact that they managed to pull of the lovers and best friends thing- that’s what kept their relationship alive.</p>
<h2>Hugs for the boy meet world reference I’m so impressed I can’t even. Just love.</h2>
<p>And I’m the most passive aggressive person I know. It might have something to do with hating confrontation and thus hating people who ask me to confront.</p>
