Friends have been around since the beginning of time, right?.. right!... there are the friends, the enemies, the ones who won't leave us alone, the ones who kinda scare us, those we can't live with, and those that we can't live with out. We all want friends but how do we know how to pick our own friends? Sure, you have the first impression, buuut.... well my first impression is never the same as the impression after spending time with them. Some people have such a hard outer shell on them that you don't know if you are even "in their league." But really, who decides what league someone is in? How do we determine if someone IS in our league or if someone is OUT of our league? These so called "leagues" are just excuses we use to-- (A)Avoid a person for a reason only you would know ..(B)Create an excuse as to why someone else won't associate with you.. (C)Create an excuse as to why someone would treat you the way you do.. and of course.. (D)The reason why you would "never have a chance" with that one person you have liked since the day you never even met them.
Our lives have been turned into a big popularity issue. How many friends you have, how many relationships you have been in, how many times you have been in jail, etc. But! in my opinion, you aren't popular to ME even if you have a million friends, all the money in the world, or the best things that money can buy. You are popular if you know how to have a good, healthy relationship with a few, good(or great), friends. Personality, outlook, and having opinions turn you into the most attractive friend to have. Maybe not to others, but to me!
If I had to choose between a studly, athletic, handsome football player who treated me like junk, and a simple, loving, caring, so called nerd who valued me... and they both wanted me (like that would ever happen :p) I would know in a heartbeat which one i would chose.. you can probably guess too... but also if the roles were reversed and the "nerd" was a jerk and the football player was the gentleman, i would go for the gentleman. Even if "everyone else" thought he was out of my league, who cares? If you find someone who you enjoy being around, spending time with, and getting to know... GET TO KNOW THEM!!!!! It will be one of the best things you have done for yourself. :)
So, don't base people on your first impression, it might not always be right. How did you become friends with your current friends? Take down the barrier of stereotyping someone before you meet them!!! Take a little time and give the person a chance to show YOU who THEY are.... How else are you going to make new friends?
