What's sex got to do with it?

There’s nothing like friends. They give you booze when you need a drink. Plus they know what you’re really like and still choose to be seen with you in public.
Although being seen in public with someone can cause misunderstandings sometimes.
I have been asked if I am dating my friends Matt and Israel. Apparently, I'm seen with them alot. So , I’m in a love triangle I didn’t even know about!
All I can say is yes I have had coffee, dinner and played pool with both of them. But that's because the three of us are friends, amigos- however you want to say it.
I met Israel though Matt. Although, we really didn’t start hanging out one on one until I said three magic words -“I like pool.” After our first game of pool together, Israel made me laugh by saying Starbucks is “the magical land, the promise land.”
I met Matt on the school paper. We got assigned to cover a speaker together and discovered we both have a love of coffee, traveling, and politics. Plus we're both the only child in our family. At a magic show one night Gary, Matt’s dad said “it’s too bad Donna’s not Jewish.” But I think chemistry, rather than religion is the reason I’m not in a relationship with either of them. (Of course, I still think they’re awesome people!)
This made me wonder if guys and girls can really be friends. I know it’s the new millennium. Women and men work together all day, every day. But, if we find someone attractive, we want to be more than friends with them. We want to hold them, kiss them and see where kissing can lead to. ;0P It's human nature.
In the movie When Harry Met Sally, at the beginning Harry found Sally attractive and at the end of the movie, they got married.
The reason I’m not going to Ohio is even though my friend up there said we can go on “a date as friends.” But, I know he’s wanted to be more then friends since he met me at karaoke night down in Florida. ( Or at the very least I'm still not convinced that he won't try to erase the as friends part if I go up .) So it wouldn’t be right of me to fly over there, leading him on since I'm not that into him.
While I'm in no way saying we should go back to the Stoneage,I think the reason my friendships with Matt and Israel have lasted as long as it has is because we’re not trying to get each other in bed and have made it clear to one another we're not. Rather, we just support each other in all aspects of our lives. So a genuine comradery can blossom after all.
