Friends or 'Enemies?'When I was younger, my Dad used to tell me: "Boys don't want to be your friend." He then left the rest to my imagination.At the time, I didn't agree. I thought: I can crack a good joke, I know how to shoot a hoop, and I'm a cheerful person (but not in an annoying way). What kind of boy wouldn't want to be around that kind of girl?Turns out, my Dad was right. Not to be all "Samantha Brick" about it, but in my experience, single, heterosexual men aren't actively looking for an exclusively platonic relationship with a woman they find sexually attractive. This of course is not a revolutionary concept. In fact, it seems pretty natural to me.Now, I will be the first to say that it is really and truly the most wonderful thing in the world if the attraction is mutual. But the Powers That Be seem to like to play these complicated little mating games with humans where the guy we want to re-enact scenes from 9½ Weeks with sees our attractiveness level as akin to that of a discarded dishcloth, and the most physical we could see ourselves being with the guy who actually likes us is a game of ping pong over an especially long table. All of which means that someone usually ends up getting rejected.I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I have struggled with the scenario where I am not interested in a man romantically, but I want to keep him as a friend because he is funny and I enjoy his company, or he has shown himself to be that rare specimen known as "a nice, genuine person, " or he simply doesn't mention his therapist in every other sentence.Rather than string him along and give him hope, I feel compelled to somehow communicate to him sooner rather than later that we'll just be staying friends, nothing more. Otherwise, I think I am being unfair to him. Why should he waste his romantic stamina on me when there are loads of other single women out there who might fall instantly in love with him?The thing is, it can sometimes be tricky to reject a man and keep him as a friend. If the operation is not executed carefully, you may end up creating a "menemy."It requires a certain amount of skill to be able to turn down a man's sexual advances or romantic gestures and then get him to agree to meet you for blueberry pancakes the following weekend and chat about the latest Woody Allen film. Some men aren't satisfied with just that. I'm not clear why. What's so bad about friendship? Everyone needs buddies. But I've seen men react poorly or simply fall off the face of the earth. I get it -- their feelings are hurt. None of us likes getting rejected. But in my experience, some men find it especially soul-crushing.I am only bringing all of this up because I recently had to go through this scenario again. I had spent some time cultivating a friendship with a man who, in my defense, I thought was gay. So I didn't see the harm in him buying me the occasional falafel, or accepting an invitation to see a film with him. Isn't that what friends are for? But a mutual friend shed light on his sexual orientation (straight) and suggested that his intentions -- and attentions -- weren't platonic. He had never "made the moves" but now it was all crystal clear -- that explains the way he had looked at me that time the tahini sauce dribbled down my chin!Since he had clearly been too timid to express his feelings, I thought I would be clever this time and subtly mention the dates I had been going on, focusing on the one guy I was kind of keen on, so that he would know that I was "unavailable" for heavy petting and those sorts of activities, but that I was available for things like roller skating, falafel-eating and shooting the breeze. Doesn't that sound nice? That way, he would known not to try to lean in for a kiss, and I wouldn't have to pull the Stevie Wonder dance and dodge him went he went for it. It was like pre-rejection, yet I was sparing his feelings because he didn't even have to put himself out there! I really thought I was being brilliant.It backfired, of course. Said man ended up sending me an email rant accusing me of being insensitive by talking about other men when he had "feelings for me." As if I am psychic, by the way, just because I am a woman! How was I supposed to know that? I think in his mind we were dating. In my mind, he was my new gay BFF. In the end, I got mad at him for getting mad at me, and now the friendship has ended.And I have created yet another "menemy."Look, I have also tried the direct thing: "I really like you, but only as a friend, " but you can only do that when the guy has made his intentions clear, and in my experience, they either cope okay (though rarely do I feel much enthusiasm for friendship after that), or they really don't cope well. I also tried the thing where you make them think they are rejecting you, but it gets quite confusing and only works if the guy isn't very sharp, and why would I -- or you -- be hanging out with someone not that sharp in the first place?As we all remember, Billy Crystal's character says men and women can't be friends in When Harry Met Sally because the sex stuff gets in the way. I do have single, male, heterosexual friends with whom I have an easy, non-romantic rapport, but I honestly don't know if they would walk away if I was sprawled naked on a bed calling out to them. I maynot be everybody's cup of tea, but sometimes, I wonder if they wonder. And they may wonder if I wonder. If so, I hope they'll keep it to themselves.。

今天我是我们的朋友还是敌人英语作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Today, Am I a Friend or an Enemy?Hello everyone! Today, I want to share with you a story about friendship and kindness. It's about a day when I had to decide whether I would be a friend or an enemy to my classmates.One sunny morning, as I walked into the classroom, I noticed something different. There was an air of tension and sadness among my classmates. I wondered what had happened. So, I approached my best friend, Lily, and asked her what was wrong.Lily told me that there was a new student named Alex who had joined our class. Unfortunately, some of the students were not being very friendly to Alex. They were treating him like an enemy instead of a friend. They were making fun of him because he was different. Alex looked sad and lonely, and it made me feel really bad.I couldn't stand seeing someone being treated that way, especially when they were new and didn't know anyone. I knew I had to make a choice – to be a friend or an enemy. Deep down, I knew that being a friend was the right thing to do.During recess, I approached Alex with a smile and introduced myself. I wanted to make him feel welcome and let him know that I wanted to be his friend. We started talking, and I realized that we had a lot in common. We both loved playing soccer and drawing. Alex's face brightened up, and he seemed happy to have made a new friend.As the days went by, I made it my mission to include Alex in our classroom activities. I invited him to join our games during recess and asked him to sit with us during lunchtime. Slowly but surely, other classmates started to see how much fun Alex was and how kind he could be.One day, during an art project, our teacher asked us to work in pairs. Most of the students teamed up with their friends, leaving Alex as the only one without a partner. I noticed his disappointment, so I made a brave decision. I went up to the teacher and asked if I could be Alex's partner. The teacher smiled and agreed.Working together with Alex was amazing! We shared ideas, laughed, and created something beautiful. Our classmates saw how well we worked as a team and how happy we were. It inspired them to be kinder to Alex and include him in their activities too.Over time, the class started treating Alex like a friend instead of an enemy. They realized that being different didn't make someone bad, but rather unique and special. We all learned the importance of acceptance and friendship.In the end, I was proud of my decision to be a friend to Alex.I realized that being a friend is always the better choice. It's not about judging someone based on their differences, but about embracing those differences and building meaningful connections.So, my dear friends, let's remember that each day we have a choice – to be a friend or an enemy. Let's choose kindness, acceptance, and friendship. Together, we can create a world where everyone feels loved and valued.Remember, we are all in this together!Love,[Your Name]Word Count: 471 words篇2Today, Am I a Friend or an Enemy?Hello everyone! Today, I want to talk about an important question: Am I a friend or an enemy? Sometimes, it can be hard to know for sure. Let's explore this together!In the morning, I woke up full of energy and excitement. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and got ready for school. As I walked to the bus stop, I saw my classmates waiting there. I greeted them with a big smile and said, "Good morning! How are you today?" They smiled back and we started chatting about our plans for the day. At that moment, I felt like a true friend to them.During the first class, our teacher asked us to work in pairs. I was paired up with my best friend, Lisa. We always have fun together! We shared ideas, helped each other, and completed our work on time. We laughed and encouraged each other when things got challenging. It was clear that we were good friends, supporting each other like a team.At lunchtime, I sat with a group of classmates. They were talking about a new game they were playing, but I didn't knowmuch about it. Instead of feeling left out, I asked them to tell me more. They were happy to explain and even invited me to join them after school. I felt included, like a friend they wanted to spend time with.Later in the day, we had a soccer match in PE class. I was on a team with some classmates I didn't know very well. Instead of being distant or competitive, I tried to be friendly and cooperative. I passed the ball to my teammates, cheered them on, and celebrated their successes. We might have been opponents on the field, but I wanted to be a good sport and a friend off the field.After school, I went to my grandma's house. She needed help with gardening, so I gladly offered my assistance. We worked together, planting flowers and watering the plants. My grandma smiled and thanked me for being such a helpful friend to her. It made me feel warm inside, knowing that I could be there for her.As the day came to an end, I reflected on my actions. Did I act like a friend or an enemy today? I realized that being a friend is about kindness, support, and inclusion. It's about treating others the way I want to be treated. Whether it's my classmates,my best friend, or my grandma, I can choose to be a friend every day.So, today, am I a friend or an enemy? I can confidently say that I am a friend. I believe that by being a friend to others, I can make the world a better place. Let's all strive to be friends to one another and spread kindness wherever we go!That's the end of my essay. I hope you enjoyed reading about my day and the importance of friendship. Remember, each day is an opportunity to be a friend to someone. Let's choose friendship over enmity, and together we can create a happier and more harmonious world.Thank you!篇3Today, Am I Our Friend or Enemy?Hello everyone! Today, I want to talk about something important - whether I am our friend or enemy. I believe that friendship is very valuable, so let's explore this together!First of all, let's think about what it means to be a friend. A friend is someone who cares about you, supports you, and is always there for you. Friends play together, help each other, andrespect each other. They share happy moments and also help each other during difficult times. When I am a friend, I try to be kind, understanding, and helpful to others.Now, let's consider what it means to be an enemy. An enemy is someone who doesn't want good things for you. They might be mean, hurtful, or try to bring you down. Enemies don't support you or care about your feelings. They don't want to see you succeed or be happy. Being an enemy is not a good thing because it can hurt others and make them sad.So, which one should I be today? Well, I choose to be our friend! Why? Because friendship brings happiness and makes our lives better. When I am a friend, I can build strong relationships with others and create a positive and friendly environment. It feels great to be kind, helpful, and supportive! Plus, when I am a friend, I can make new friends easily and have lots of fun together.Being our friend also means that I need to treat others with respect. I should listen to their opinions, be understanding, and not judge them. Everyone is unique and has their own thoughts and feelings. By being open-minded and accepting, I can foster a sense of unity and friendship among us.Sometimes, it can be challenging to be a friend. We might make mistakes or unintentionally hurt someone's feelings. When that happens, it's important to apologize and learn from our actions. A true friend takes responsibility for their behavior and tries to make things right.In conclusion, I want to be our friend today and every day! Friendship is a beautiful thing that brings joy, love, and happiness into our lives. By being a friend, I can create a positive atmosphere, make new friends, and help others. Let's all choose to be friends and make the world a better place together!Remember, being a friend is a choice we make every day. So, let's choose friendship, spread kindness, and be the best friends we can be!篇4Today, Am I a Friend or an Enemy?Hi everyone! Today, I want to share my thoughts about whether I am a friend or an enemy. Sometimes, we may feel confused about our role in someone's life. Let's explore this topic together!In the morning, I woke up early and got ready for school. As I entered the classroom, I greeted my classmates with a big smile.I believe that being friendly is the key to being a good friend. So, today, I decided to be a friend to everyone.During our English class, my best friend Sarah had trouble understanding a new lesson. I noticed her confusion and decided to help her. I patiently explained the lesson and even shared some tips and tricks that I learned myself. Sarah smiled and said, "Thank you, you're such a good friend!"At recess, I saw a new student sitting alone on a bench. I approached her and introduced myself. Her name was Lily, and she looked a little sad. I asked her if she would like to join us for a game of tag. She hesitated at first but eventually joined in. We had so much fun together! Lily told me, "You're not just a friend, but a true friend."After school, I went home and saw my little brother, Timmy, playing with his toys. He wanted me to join him, but I was tired from a long day at school. I snapped at him and said, "Leave me alone, I'm busy!" Timmy's face turned sad, and he ran to our mom. I realized that I had acted like an enemy instead of a friend to my brother. I felt terrible and immediately went to apologize. I hugged Timmy and promised to spend time with him after Irested. He forgave me and said, "You're my best friend, even when you make mistakes."Later in the evening, my mom asked for my help in the kitchen. I was feeling tired and didn't want to help. But then I remembered how I made Timmy sad earlier, and I realized that being a good friend also means being helpful to our family. So, I put on my apron and eagerly helped my mom prepare dinner. She smiled at me and said, "You're not just my child, but also my best friend."As the day came to an end, I reflected on my actions. Today, I had been both a friend and an enemy. I learned that being a friend means being kind, helpful, and understanding. It's important to treat others with respect and to be there for them when they need us. Sometimes, we make mistakes and act like enemies, but true friends apologize and make things right.In conclusion, today I was both a friend and an enemy to different people in my life. I learned the importance of kindness, understanding, and being there for others. I will strive to be a better friend every day and make sure that my actions reflect the true meaning of friendship.Remember, each day is a chance for us to be a friend and spread happiness to those around us. So, let's choose to be friends and make the world a better place together!Words: 486篇5Are We Friends or Enemies Today?Hi everyone! Today I want to talk about a very interesting topic: Are we friends or enemies today? It's a question that we often ask ourselves, especially when we have disagreements or conflicts with our friends. Well, let's explore this together!In my opinion, whether we are friends or enemies depends on how we treat each other. If we are kind, helpful, and respectful towards one another, then we can definitely be good friends. Friends support each other, share happy moments, and work together as a team. We play together during recess, help each other with homework, and enjoy each other's company. It's great to have friends because they make our lives more enjoyable and meaningful.But sometimes, there are moments when we might not see eye to eye with our friends. We may have different opinions, getinto arguments, or even feel hurt by something they said or did. In those situations, it's important to remember that we can still resolve our conflicts and become friends again. We can talk to each other calmly, listen to each other's perspectives, and find a solution that makes both of us happy. It's okay to disagree sometimes, as long as we treat each other with kindness and respect.Now, what about enemies? Well, enemies are people who constantly want to harm us or make us feel bad. They don't care about our feelings and are not interested in being our friends. Enemies may gossip about us, spread rumors, or even bully us. It's a sad and difficult situation to be in, but we should remember that we have the power to change it.If we find ourselves in a situation where someone is being mean or acting like an enemy, we should first try to understand why they are behaving that way. Maybe they are going through a hard time or feeling unhappy themselves. Instead of retaliating with more negativity, we can show them kindness and try to help them. Sometimes, all it takes is a small act of kindness to turn an enemy into a friend.In conclusion, whether we are friends or enemies depends on how we treat each other. Friends bring joy and support to ourlives, while enemies bring negativity and hurt. But even when we have disagreements or conflicts, we can always find a way to resolve them and become friends again. Let's remember to be kind, understanding, and respectful towards one another, so that we can all be great friends!I hope you enjoyed reading my essay! Remember, being a good friend is important, and we can always choose kindness over negativity. Let's make the world a friendlier place!篇6Is Someone My Friend or Enemy Today?Yesterday was a really crazy day at school. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly happened and how I should feel about it. You see, my best friend Samantha and I had a huge fight during recess. We've been best friends since kindergarten and have done everything together. We've never fought like this before.It all started when Samantha accidentally stepped on my new sneakers that I got for my birthday. I had been looking forward to wearing those sneakers for weeks! They are bright red with yellow lightning bolts on them. When Samantha's foot smudged them, I felt so angry and yelled at her. She yelled back saying it was just an accident.We kept shouting back and forth, getting madder and madder. Samantha said some really mean things about how clumsy I am and how I'm always messing things up. That's when I lost it and shoved her hard onto the ground. A bunch of kids saw and gasped. Samantha started crying and ran away.For the rest of recess, I felt a huge knot in my stomach from the fight. I couldn't stop replaying it over and over in my head and feeling worse each time. Samantha and I have played together every day at recess since first grade. It felt so weird and lonely playing by myself. A couple of my other friends asked if I wanted to join their game, but I didn't feel like it.In class after recess, Samantha and I wouldn't even look at each other. We usually pass notes back and forth during lessons, but there were no notes yesterday. It was the longest morning ever waiting for the lunch bell to ring so I could get out of that awkward classroom.At lunch, I sat at a different table than Samantha like we had two separate circles of friends. Samantha's friends kept looking over at me and whispering. I wondered if they were talking about me and taking Samantha's side. It made me angry thinking they could turn against me that easily after one fight.The rest of the day, Samantha and I pretended like the other person didn't exist. We've had small arguments before that were solved pretty quickly. But this big fight made me question if our friendship was over for good. I didn't know if we were still friends or if we were now enemies.I came home from school feeling confused, angry, sad, and embarrassed all at the same time. I didn't know how to process it all. When my mom saw that I looked upset, I told her everything that had happened with Samantha. She gave me a big hug and said friendships have their ups and downs, but that doesn't mean the end of the world.Mom said it's normal to get mad at friends sometimes since nobody is perfect. She said the important thing is how you handle it after and work it out. Mom told me to give Samantha some space for a day or two to calm down, and then reach out to her. She said I should tell Samantha I'm sorry for shoving her and that my behavior was unacceptable, no matter how upset I was. Hearing that made me feel a little better.After dinner, I went up to my room and thought more about what my mom had said. I started feeling really bad about how I acted at recess and for ruining Samantha's day. I realized that she is way too important to me to let one stupid fight end ourfriendship. Even best friends have arguments sometimes. It doesn't make them enemies.So I decided to make Samantha a card apologizing. I found some construction paper and drew two stick figures holding hands with a huge heart around them. Inside I wrote: "I'm sorry I was such a hot-head at recess. You know I think you're the coolest, even if you did smudge my awesome new kicks. Want to come over this weekend and bake snickerdoodles like we always do? Friends again?" I carefully folded up the card and put it in my backpack so I could give it to her at school today.This morning, I got to school early so I could catch Samantha before class started. I waited by her locker until she arrived and handed her the card. She read it and I saw a little smile appear on her face. Then Samantha looked up at me, gave me a big hug, and said "Of course we're still friends, dummy!"Just like that, everything was okay again between us. We talked。
