I know that being in a serious romantic relationship might seem like the most important goal for many young adults but do is it the only relationship we should appreciate and tend to? What about that person from work who you connected with during a series of events or the lifelong companions from high school or throughout college, and even after graduation? These are the awesome people who love and care for you because they know that you are a wonderful impact in your life and we should understand where we acknowledge the perk in our interpersonal relationships that is platonic love.

This is a new thing I learned in college: going on dates with friends. A friend date; where you go out with someone for a quick bite to eat, study together with light refreshments, or even laying together and indulging in conversations that could lead to the start of something new. Of course, touch is electrifying and some people think that a guy and a girl cannot be just friends without any romantic tension but they haven't been revealed to what can be and what is.

Besides, every guy and girl needs to have that one person of the opposite gender as a best friend and backbone. Platonic friendships are beautiful because you see two people care for each other in a way that makes hearts melt and cry. Of course, to everyone else, they seem like the perfect couple who are going to end up married but it will only draw the bond closer. The companion does not have to be romantic to make your life happy.

Believe it or not, there are some people who have never dated ever? They can go through the years of having a bunch of friends of the opposite gender but only see them as a friend. It's because they have such contentment of who they are right now and want to get to the point of who and where they want to be for themselves. It's also in result on that they are surrounded by people who will build them up. When they get there, they feel ready to pursue someone else. Talk about relationship goals right?

Plato did acknowledge physical desire, but thought that if two people truly inspired each other, their spiritual or ideal love would bring them closer to God. This is the part where we appreciate the friends that we have now who were strangers once upon a time; sometimes a random costume party, isolated fall break, being stranded while doing laundry, or even just seeing someone multiple times are the start of something beautiful. the people with charitable hearts who will contact me because they just want to catch up. They'll surprise me with food. They pray for me and shower my life with such affection and I know that it is nothing but the love of God in the center of it all.

For every single person out in this world, male or female, realize that they're someone special made by someone extremely special for someone who will find you very special just the way you are. Until then, love yourself, love your friends who love you, and love your life.
