That "friends for life" thing is total bullshit, to let you all know.
When a girl says "I like you, but we're too good of friends now to ruin that" is a blanket fallback of "I don't like you". They're your friend, so they don't want to hurt you - obviously.

Timing, realistically - means nothing. Especially of a kiss with a girl friend. If there's attraction, timing is null and void. If there's no attraction, you'll get the "we're too good of friends" speech.



I agree with the whole "Dont try for a girlfriend" thing. Don't. Pointless. Try for a friend. If it turns to something more, awesome. If not - then at least you have a friend.
