Are dates so frigtening that you
need to bring along a friend? Are you this afraid to be alone with your so-called significant other that you must a less then lifelong companion to watch you make out? Are you aware how socially awkward this is for the third-wheel as they are so popularally called? You must not, otherwise you wouldn't put them in this uncomfortable situation.
But this poses a question: Do you know how your friend feels?
Or are you just so absorbed in your own 'romantic' affairs that you don't have time to notice them. Are you unaware of the situation that you have caused? Do you just not care enough about your friend to ignore them for the other?
I wonder, are these companions always this important to onself or is it a rare thing when you overlook a friend for a significant other? Or is it very common indeed for people to care more for one particular realtionship to turn away from others?
Is this 'companionship love' so much more important than the love you receive from friends?
It is curious and would refer to my entry on
Realtionships. Is feeling anothers skin so much more important then uncounted years of the companionship or one that tries to understand and empathize with you? Is the shoulder of a romantic companion better then the shoulder of a normal companion so much better to cry on?
Are friends only worth something until you find someone to 'care' for you?
What if your romantic companion finds another for themselves and leaves you? What if they grow tired of you and everything you are and leave? What if they hurt you and cut through your flesh and bone, or leave worse scars; the kind that you must live with forever?
What of the friends you had cast away with these tiresome tricks if being brought along on a date that 'wasn't really' a date and just a tiem to hang out? Will your normal companion still care for you when your romantic one has cast you away like something soiled and rotten? Or will your other companion still care for you despite the awkwardness and depression you had accidentally or consciously pushed upon them?
This would truely be a test for both you and your normal companion. Do you car enough for them to never put them through this? Or do you care enough to bring them along as a third-wheel?
