the boys mean she's protected.
so only recently, i realized that i held a very unusual point of view.
and i didn't realize it was THAT out of the ordinary until a few of my friends and i got to talking.
we were discussing a boy at our school who is Mormon and the fact that he goes to church every morning before school.
[he is, for the record, ridiculously hot.]
naturally the topic turned to polygamy, which elicited a chorus of "eew" and "how weird" from the other girls.
curious, i asked:
"is it really that weird? so you and your best friend could never share a boy if both of you liked him and he liked both of you equally?"
"OMG NO WAI."
but why?
why is it so strange?
you hear all of this from teenage girls: hos before bros, best friends forever, never let boys get in the way, time will never truly separate us... et cetera.
but as soon as you actually like a boy and he actually likes you back, all of that goes out the window?
do all girls revert to their secret inner bitchiness when competing for a favored guy, even against their friends?
or would you just back off and make yourself miserable?
would BOTH of you do that?
wouldn't it just be easier to love them both?
to love your friend in a different way than you love your guy?
i know everybody immediately thinks about kinky threesomes and stuff, but it doesn't have to be like that.
like he spends time with her, then he spends time with you...
it would be tricky to keep it equal, but i believe that it can be done.
nobody else did.
do you really have that little faith in people?
that little love for even your best friend?
i don't know.
i would try it.
i believe that i could do it.
[it never seemed like that big of a deal to me before i found out how opposed people were to the idea. =/]
so what do you think?
