This had kept me from confronting my feelings about him for a long time. I didn't want to lose that friend at any cost, even if that meant that I had to see him with other girls. But today, my girls had dared me to do it and I knew if I didn't do it now, I might never be able to. …show more content…

    Also having first impressions about people are common, but as they become closer friends, they think differently about each other. Personally, the lesson about how our impressions of someone can definitely be different once we really know them is a warning that maybe our best friends could be people we never thought would be.
