The Non-Boyfriend
I guess I’m missing out, but ever heard of non-boyfriends and non-girlfriends? These are not to be confused with friends with benefits. In some cases, it’s the complete opposite.
He’s the guy you go out to dinner with twice a week, she’s the girl you vent to and go to concerts with. Yet the other person isn’t aware that you’ve dubbed him/her your non-whatever, or you guys have been friends for too long to become an actual couple. You’re free to date other people, but you don’t really want to because of your feelings for this person.
I look back on my relationship history and realize that I’ve had quite a few non-boyfriends.
During one summer, a guy friend and I became extremely close.
