Double Tap That

We have been close since high school, and we have never done anything sexual (I know two women who have direct experience who agree, and rumor has it that he is MAJORLY packing; he is rather large ladies FYI).  Such a rarity is the platonic relationship between him and me.  How is it possible to maintain such an incredible bond between the sexes without that sexual tension or even dare I say jealously?  I am happy to report that it is very possible because that is the story of the friendship that I share with G, a camaraderie that has evolved quite nicely and respectably.  He knows everyone in my tight-knit circle, and we sustained a weekly schedule when I used to visit him roughly 2 hours away for dinner or just Sunday afternoon hang time in his college days. We have had countless sleepovers, and we chat on the phone frequently.   We fill each other in with explicit details of our love lives, and we discuss our life goals and dreams on those occasions when we’re checking up on one another.  Recently, we began really considering our futures.  Thus, together we concocted the perfect plan for ourselves because it is so obvi that we will be friends for life: we are getting married to each other by the time I am 35 (He is a tad older than me) if we are both still single.  Incidentally, my track record looks like he will be my husband (though we have a significant amount of time before that happens).  We have both come up with terms that suit us if this actually does happen because we are mainly concerned about financial benefits.  The marriage will not be consummated (unless after a night of too much partying and not enough reasoning), and we most def are allowed to see other people.  Not many of my friends know about our proposed promise, but the two who do think the idea is absolutely crazy. I think it is worth noting that we actually have much love for one another, and we really love each other dearly.  I mean honestly, the transition to spouse would be pretty easy considering I already nag him about spending time with me the way I hear wives do to their hubbys.  Also, I am confident that he will be down with my nuptial idea of a black and leopard midnight masquerade wedding that starts around 10, is official at midnight, and where we eat breakfast food for the early-morning feast ( <—yall better not be trying to steal my ideas either!!!) for my wedding if we do so happen to exchange those vows! So here’s to you G, one of the great loves of my life, and perhaps my future husband; “I do.”
