That 'Best Friend' Thing

My mom and I just watched a pirated DVD copy of She's the One, the movie starring Dingdong, Bea, and Enrique.  So you must have already got the gist of this post.  It's about that 'best friend' thing.  LOL.  In the movie, Dingdong and Bea were best friends.  They both have feelings for each other but because of stupid reasons they're both afraid to admit it to one another.  Then the character of Enrique came along to add spice to their relationship.  You know, just like in all those cliche romance books, one character would appear and act as a trigger for the two main characters to be together.
Okay.  I don't really want to talk about the movie because this post is not about that.  This is about having a best friend of the opposite sex.  First of, I don't believe in that kind of nonsense.  Haha!  This kind of relationship never lasts.  I mean, how can a man and a woman who practically know everything about each other not develop any romantic feelings for one another?  Somewhere, along the way, one of them is bound to fall for the other.  And it's just sad (and also quite stupid) to have an unrequited love for someone who would always put you in the friend-zone.  But then again, if it's a two-way thing, then good for you.
I just don't get those people who label someone of the opposite sex as their best friend.  It's just weird.  It's like they're asking for a possible heart ache.  How can they be so sure that their feelings would always remain platonic?  It's really quite impossible.  And those people who say that it is are nothing but hypocrites.  LOL.  I mean, no matter how butt-ugly your best friend is, if he/she is the only one who understands you and makes you feel special, how can you not have romantic feelings for him or her?  It's like one of those inevitable things.  You have no control over it.  The only way that it will be possible is if the people involved are siblings or cousins.  Unless you dig incest.  LOL.
I think it's really stupid for people to get in this kind of situation.  It's like their asking to have a complicated love life!  You'll label someone as your best friend and when you fall in love with him or her, you'll have all these issues and dramas.  You'll always have these complains saying that you're hurt and you can't take it anymore.  Argh!  It's fucking annoying!  Sasabi-sabihin mo na best friend mo yung tao tapos kapag na-in love ka at na-friend-zoned ka, magrereklamo ka?  Shit lang.
That's why I never write best friends turned lovers stories.  How could I, when I don't even believe in that 'best friend' thing??  Because for me, you can never really consider someone as your best friend when there's a possibility, no matter how remotely low, that your platonic feelings could turn into a romantic one.  
For those who are thinking right now that I have some sort of experience in this, then you're wrong.  Because as I've said, I don't believe in this shit.  You might think that I'm being such a smart-ass and a know-it-all (well, I possibly am. LOL.) but this is just my humble opinion.  Everybody is entitled to one, right?  XD
