Dating is friendship’s twin, although they are not
identical, they share with perfection the same DNA. Many people can easily
cultivate good and lasting friendships, but find themselves in trouble when
it's time to have good and lasting love affairs. All this because people
complicate themselves and think that they need to learn to date, when in fact
they only need to imitate their friendships.
1. The first thing to consider is that the more time
we spend with a good and very funny friend, we have less need of "other
friends" and we are less likely to even think about spending time with
"other friends".
2. A true friend is one with whom we want to be, and
not one with whom we have to be by any obligation, a good friend is one to whom
we feel like calling any time, for any reason (however silly it is) in any
place.
3. We don’t compete with our friends. If something
good happened to them in anything or situation, we get happy for them. None of
us is more important than the other.
4. We are not
possessive of our friends. Even though we are always with them we always give
them room to breathe and to be themselves. We don’t try to control every aspect
of their lives or forge them to our image, because if we did that, we would
lose the special person who our friend is.
5. No friend expects another friend to play the role
of friend. Each friend has an open mind in relation to the other and he doesn’t
know what the new day will bring to this friendship. No friend tells the other:
you are my friend and it means you have to do this for me or take me to those
sites, or help me in those aspects. No friend pushes the other either verbally,
or tacitly, either psychologically or by virtue of society.
