Friendship/Love??

well, there was this discussion with a friend one night. gtalk of course. and we were just discussing about relationships (YES, girlfriend-boyfriend types). i happened to be saying, that one should not keep "options open" as she said. i argued, that when i see someone, i see a friend, and not a prospective girlfriend/wife (girl-specific). which is natural for everyone i guess (and hope). but then there's a phase wherein people who are not very close friends (yet) and not hi-bye friends either. that's the time (i feel) to decide. if i cross that time, and people (and by people, i refer to girls every time) get somewhat close to me, i somehow tend to see them as friends only, nothing more. and i don't think it is bad, in any way. after all, friendship is what is needed. cuz there will be one wife, but thousands of friends, and no point in spoiling the essence of friendship in keeping "options open". if that's the way the world operates, God save us all!

but i have seen sometimes, that two close friends end up together. i mean, HOW can they do that man. even if we assume that they like each other (without the other knowing..) so how difficult is it to take the first step! i can only imagine.. what if its not mutual? what if one silly mistake ruins it all, and ruins it forever? is everything worth the risk? losing everything that you've shared for years, over one moment of madness? i think the answer is a big NO with capital N and O. some might tend to think differently, its their viewpoint. i for one can never take such risks ;)

and since me and the friend discussed about my "promise to my mother that she won't have to bride-hunt for me" (LOL@that), i said that every passing day i feel like i am losing hope over the same. and i don't think my life is lacking anything/anyone. just that i most certainly won't be able to keep the promise that's all. cuz now i am not in college, and its very unlikely that i meet a girl somehow, and get to know her really well, and well enough to know that she might be the one.. not that i am looking anywhere (as of now!), since work and Hyderabad are kinda enough to keep me away from it (no offence meant towards Hyderabadis though!) hence, i argued that my mom only will have to bride-hunt :D can't imagine how happy (!!?) my mom will be!! :)

and me, i have decided to get married within the next 6+-1 years. its all planned out, sirf ladki ki kami hai :D :D

Cheers to that!
