Email Friends and Pen Pals

I wanted to find my old friends from high school not too long ago. And I
thought it was going to be a piece of cake.
Boy was I in for it.

My quest to find my old friends started the way you’d expect it to. I
headed right over to Google. After entering the keyword about finding
old friends, I was presented with no less than about 8 or nine pages of
Google Ads suggestion that theirs was the only site that I would ever
need on my journey to find my old friends.
Little did I know that the more hype those site exuded, the more Flash
banners, and “yelling” they were doing to get me to notice their sites,
the less and less the quality of the results they were able to offer.
The glossier the site, the less effective the results I got from them.
Now I realize that is a bit of a generalization, but those were the
results that I came to find, and those are the results that you will
also hear in several online forums dedicated to people finding search
engines.

What I discovered was something I had never intended to find…and that
is that sometimes those that scream the smallest, perform the best.
In fact, my efforts to find my old friends eventually brought me to a
place that has NO advertising of any kind on it. Nothing to get in the
way of doing the one thing that I was asking the engine to do and that
was to find my old friends.
That’s it.

Find them and bring the results back to me.
And boy, when you look at your computer screen and you see the names
addresses and phone numbers of guys that used to borrow your Physics
homework to “make sure” theirs was right…you are instantly talking
about a feel good moment if ever there was one!

Just remember those wonderful years, that you spend together with your
beloved! Wow! Those amazing moments, which you still cherish and those
fascinating memories, which bring a smile on your face, the list is
indeed dazzling. Now just come back to the reality, as we are talking
about the present scenario and now there is a word “ex” been placed as a
‘prefix’ before your beloved.

A relationship becomes a bit complicated, with the introduction of ‘ex’
in it. So, have you heard of men friends with ex-girlfriends?

This question is very much intriguing and the answer is also equally
thought-provoking. Most of the men would agree with me, if I say that
there is absolutely no problem in being friends with their
ex-girlfriends, on the other hand, some men would think “Am I an idiot
to be a friend with an ex?”

Hey! Hey! Hey! It is getting complicated, so just wait for a second and
do a bit of introspection! Well! You got the answer.

No doubt, there is no problem in being “just- friends” with those who
once used to be “more than just-friends” with you and just after giving
this complicated statement, some thing strange is going on in my heart
(Is that a symptom of a heart attack?)

Anyways! Opinions may differ but personally I believe that if a
relationship is over, then it is quite difficult as well as not
recommended to drag further the burden of this not-so-lovely
relationship (and being a man I expect a huge support of my fellows).

If something is not working, then the need is to further strengthen it.
The reduction of a lovely relationship to just a friendship, is not a
cup of tea of men, like me. Well! Yes you got it right, I myself once
tried to be friend with one of my “ex” and I ended up saying “I love you
please, come back”, which resulted in a sort of tsunami in my married
life. My wife was about to divorce me and please don’t ask about my ex’s
reaction after hearing those hilariously stupid words.

At the same time, I know some men who are friends with their ex
girlfriend (I wonder if they have a heart of gold or a heart of stone),
who look quite happy from outside but who know about those emotions,
that are still hidden somewhere, like a sleeping but dangerous volcano.

I might be a bit one-sided in my opinion, but I strongly believe that
men can never be just friends with their super-hot ex girlfriends, as
after all, we all have a heart, that is known as a storehouse of
beautiful feelings of the past. So, a man who says that he can be just a
true friend for his ex girlfriend, is either lying or just fond of
getting heart attacks.
