LIFE && Flirt Friends

Today, through my dayquil/sudaphed/tylenol/sickness haze, I have been pondering the idea of flirt friends.

What are flirt friends you might ask?

They are a friend of the opposite gender (or same as you for those that float that way) that you can, and do, talk to anything about, yet there is a sexual tension in the air. The sexual tension is not something that happens right away mind you, but something that grows over time. Long nights of texting, with intermittent  compliments and playful slander that in all other relationships would be considered 'flirting'.

So what keeps this relationship from becoming something more?

You have had several opportunities for something to happen, but nothing has happened... is there a yet on the end? Is it too much of a risk to try something, and watch it all crumble, including the friendship. Or is it a bridge we all should cross for those of us lucky enough to have these flirt friends?

Is it fair to keep them 'hanging on' or are they doing the same? Are flirt friends beneficial and an ego booster or are they unhealthy for insecure people?

While everyone may feel different about flirt friends I find them very entertaining. I believe in some lucky cases, they may be 'The One' however, only time (and maturity) will tell. 

So until then the more flirt friends the merrier :)
