For those that believe in real world romance, it can be quite an adventure.

There are romantic relationships that, in hindsight, were better off as friendships, even become friends afterwards. You have some friendships that lead to romantic connections.

Then you have the romantic interests that turn into the greatest friendships you could ever ask for. You may even find a romantic link because of them.

But there could be a part of you that still wants that friend. Keep that in check, figure out why you think that way. That can get deep, even relative to any trauma bonds, but you may learn it’s better to recognize the traits you find attractive, which reflect your blueprint for your ideal partner.

Don’t let your ego force that friendship into something that it’s probably not meant to be, either in its season or at all.

There’s beauty in the patience, and wonderful power in the surprise.
