Having a crush on a friend can be crushing
OPINION
“I SAW HIM SPRAWLED ACROSS THE SOFA, HEAD TILTED TO THE CEILING LIKE A ROMAN GOD AND THOUGHT TO MYSELF: ‘I MUST HAVE YOU”’
I HAVE A HABIT OF FALLING IN LOVE WITH FRIENDS. This means that, subsequently, I also have a habit of losing them.
Telling a friend you want to rub fuck parts with them brings all sorts of consequences that could have been avoided had you just quietly accepted the fate of slowly morphing into a latter-day Charles Hawtrey and shut your self-sabotaging hole.
Ross and Rachel from Friends made it look simple; cop off with your mate, get together, break up, then by series 10 reunite for the grand finale.
Real life, however, is more brutal.
