Technically speaking...

So it's been brought to my attention that people apparently read my take on relationships and since I am currently in AT LEAST 5 relationships, I think it is only befitting that I continue to write.

The discussion of today is male-female friendships. 

Some people think that such things are not possible without an overlap of feelings. I strongly disagree. I think men and women can indeed be friends, depending on the depth of the friendship and IF neither are attracted to the other. However, when there is physical attraction, plus time spent together filled with acts of kindness, then eventually, something will form.

I can say this with certainty because I have a male friend whom I love very dearly and up until he had to leave the country for career advancement purposes, I was certain that I knew precisely where we stood. Now, I am experiencing some emotions that I cannot understand and he is exhibiting signs of something akin to jealousy and every one is just confused.

Technically speaking, we are just friends.

Technically speaking, he has no right to be jealous.

Technically speaking, I have no right to feel as if his choice of geographical location is a reflection on our relationship.

Technically speaking, I should not feel guilty for speaking to other guys in his absence.

But, there are no technicalities in matters of the heart.
