I Just Had to Steal This

This was a quote I found on Facebook, and I couldn't resist posting it again here.

"A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, 'You're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way.' This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, 'You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. Just so you know, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you, but we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.'"

Sometimes that is pretty darn true. Yeah, you can't force yourself to love someone, and you especially can't force someone to love you. I get that. But the real question is, can a friendship between a man and a woman blossom into true love, and is there really a difference at the end of the day?
