“False friends are worse than open enemies.”
-Scottish Proverb
There’s even a Sex and the City episode entitled “Frenemies”
Yep, it’s true!
A Frenemy is someone who originally wants to be your friend and is your friend - in the beginning. BUT some how some way they turn into this fake friend. They for whatever reason become unhappy with their lives. So, they figure out the best, easiest target to take it out on - YOU.

God! I’ve never been so clueless in life! Where am I? What am I doing here? I’m just so lost. I guess this is what happens to all kids who choose to come to Universities. The first few weeks are fun, but in a scary way! You don’t know people, you want them to like you, you want to have friends and to complicate things all the more - You don’t know how you can do all this!

One of the greatest luxuries a woman can have is at least one close friend. That one person who is there for you when you get dumped, is cheering for you when you swear off double-fudge brownies… again, and the one pal that will always be your walking full-sized mirror (she would not let you wear red, pleather pants and Bedazzled purple sweater if her life depended on it).

Have you ever looked back on your past loves and wondered, what if? I think I know every woman’s the answer to that question, but lately it’s been on my brain.
I’ve been in a loving relationship for a little over 3 years now, but I can’t help but wonder sometimes, what if?guy During college (5 years ago), I “dated” a guy who was then the hottest guy in school, we maintained a friendship throughout the years, well a friendship mixed with I’m in love with you but we never sealed the deal. Well, now he is the hottest guy on the celebrity blogs and women all around the world are drooling over his pecks, and I can’t help but wonder, what if I decided to be with him? What would my life be like? Where would I work? Would I be married? How much more fabulous would my life be had I been with him? Basically, What am I missing?

When your best pal is a member of the opposite sex, the million dollar question has always been: can you transition from being friends to lovers? For some, moving from friends to lovers is the very obvious choice. For others, the situation becomes a little bit more complicated. This is especially true when either the man or the woman is not willing to risk ruining the friendship. If you are torn between letting things remain as they are, or blurting out your feelings because you just cannot bear the thought of your friend not knowing how you feel - here are some tips that will help you out.
• First, get to the root of the ‘problem’.
Go back to the time when you felt a deeper feeling towards your friend. Is it because of the constant companionship? Have you just gone from a really bad relationship that is why you are considering treating your friendship as being something more than platonic? Before taking the risk of ruining the friendship, make sure that what you are feeling for your friend is the real thing.
• Second, understand that your friend may not really feel the same way about you.
Once you have decided to go for it and tell your friend that what you are feeling for him or her is beyond friendship - understand that the feeling may or may not be mutual. Surprise is generally the initial reaction, especially if your declaration has seemingly come out of nowhere. After that, just let what you have said sink in.
Then, there will be two scenarios. The first one is that your friend may not realize that he or she actually feels the same way about you and you can both move on from being friends to something more. The second scenario is that your friend does not feel the same way at all. This is the crucial point that you need to prepare for. The mere act of sharing your feelings with your friend may cause your friendship to be ruined, or worse, it could cause your relationship to end. That’s the risk that you have to take.
At the end of the day, the decision will be entirely up to you. Just remember that in life, there are a lot of risks that you need to take and this situation is a classic example of that. Taking the risk of ruining your friendship by letting your friend know how you feel about them is a lot better than not letting on about how you feel at all.
The situation can go either way when you risk your friend finding out that you are in love with him or with her: you can end up as a couple with a happy ending, or you can end up making things awkward for the both of you and ruin a perfectly good, platonic relationship.
So how will you know if your ‘love’ is worth risking your friendship? At the end of the day, it all depends on how strongly you feel for your friend. Use both your heart and your mind in making the decision. Can you bear the thought of losing a perfectly good friendship if you find out that your friend does not feel the same way? Once you blurt out your feelings, that will be the turning point of your relationship and your friendship - as it was before - can never be brought back. On the other hand, if your feelings are so strong that you just cannot bear the thought of your friend not knowing how you feel, then it is probably worth risking the friendship.
Whether your friend returns the romantic feelings that you have or not is a question which will be difficult to ask - but taking the risk of ruining your friendship is more acceptable than not letting your friend know how you feel. Who knows, if your friend secretly feels the same way about you, you just might be in for a happy ending.
