I've been sitting in front of this screen for almost an hour, and this is all I got. I need a brain fart. The random topics keep squirting out, but the water doesn't flow. Blah.

You are my bestfriend. Thanks for walk-through at Target and the delicious sushi dinner. Hope you don't have any allergic reactions to the shrimp. It's true that I'm always talking about my female interests whenever we chat. And on my side, we just talk about the darker fellas.

How can you define someone as a bestfriend? Of course, everyone has differences in what they see in a bestfriend. These friends won't answer their phone when you need them the most. The best chance they get, they'll apologize for not being there. They will call you when they're in town and wait until they're back home to invite you. A bestfriend will listen to the same grief over and over, no matter how much it annoys them. They will open their door when there is no other place to go. They will allow you to stay long after they had fallen asleep. The best part is when you can see this friend once a year and continue the same conversation from the last time you saw them. I love all my bestfriends. You'll never hear it from my lips, but I do. A bestfriend will make you sad as much as they make you happy. You just have to take what they can give.

What justifies an evening with someone a date? There had been times when I requested the company of a friend or acquaintance to lunch or dinner. This event could be with either a man or woman. I don't put much meaning in the word, date, only to find that when it is used, a whole new reaction from the guest is brought up. For example, the dinner segment of the so-called date would have phrases such as, "We should go on another date again" or "This date is moving in the right direction". Between two friends, the listener may be forced to believe that the whole evening was a ploy to get closer to another, or in other words, getting to know that person. Well, according to the examples I gave, the listener doesn't really have a choice but to react with the response, "We're just friends, this isn't a date." With this response, the whole evening just turned sour because the listener has assumed that they're being pursued. Although, the talker may take advantage of the situation. How? That's for you to learn for yourself. Let me say this, no one really works in the nerve to call the evening a date, unless you're me.

So, what qualifies it as a date? TWO individuals who have attraction toward one another, in one way or another, and benefit from the evening by getting to know one another. It's like two friends hanging out, but they don't necessarily call it a date. I constantly go on dates with Ale, eating sushi like crazy, but in this situation, it could be more defined as 'hanging out'. So...when's our date?

A gift is something we cherish, especially when it's from someone important, but either way, anything given is appreciated in my book. I enjoy giving gifts, just as long as they will accept with a smile.
