A guy I really care about has been there with me through thick and thin,.Its better to have a special friend than a boyfriend, with a friend, you know you guys will never hook up in the future,but at least there is someone there for you when you trully need them without having a tag,and if the sex is good as well why complain? when a person does start seriously going out,then they should not have such a thing unless they have a open relatiopnship.Its better to have fun now,than get married and cheat on your wife/ husband.sometimes a friend can be a lover too, it makes it easier to talk to them cause they will never judge you. Once you are going out with someone have a boundary of whether its open or serious till then just go with the flow,wherever it taks you good or bad,for at the end of the day that makes us human.
