Life gets tough at times. We all know that. Between school, work, church and family there's barely time in the day to even breathe. We all need someone we can depend on. Someone as Ben E. King and Timon and Pumba once stated, who can "stand by me/you". Someone who can help us forget the world, sit back, and relax if only for a moment. But to what extent should these friends serve their purpose? That my devoted audience is the question.
As I prepared to come to school here at BYU Idaho the common response I'd receive from people was either one of two things: Rexburg is...
1) Frozen or
2) NCMO central (Non-commital make out for all you innocent little angels out there : )
Which I must say, I was a little excited about... lol. But contrary to what I'd heard, Rexburg seems like nothing of the sort, or at least the Rexburgians I know. Everyone seems for the most part content with keeping the lip locking/saliva swapping to a minimum unless they are dating that special someone. Now, am I just living on the Pleasantville side of campus or does this sort of thing really go on, and do tell where!! Ha. Jp.
I'd assume that if I were to ask everyone's opinion on said NCMO subject matter I'd get quite the array of responses (Guys for it and girls against it... Unfortunately that just leaves a bunch of guys making out with eachother, haha). Probably more so of a response that such a thing is blasphemous and you'd never be caught dead in such a situation.
But what if the scenario arises with you in it? What if that handsome guy or smokin' girl is being a little extra flirty all of the sudden? Do you have enough gumption to stop them in their tracks, or do you roll with the punches? If you're really good friends with the person wouldn't you maybe want to have more of a romantic relationship with them anyways? Have any of you out there ever found yourself in this situation? What did you do? What's the right thing to do as good upstanding members of the church? How good of friends is too good of friends? Because in the end don't we want to be good friends to our friends afterall? Don't we want to be someone they can depend on during times of need, whatever it may be! Either way let me know... That way I too can have a friend "stand by me." ; )

You will always have a friend that will stand by you D. Always.
Aww, Corey, you are too great. Would this fall under the guys making out paragraph about the NCMO section? Ha. I really thought this post might generate a little more conversation. Guess not. It's great to see you still read my blog! Miss you.
I love the blog as always and I can't say that I have been in a ncmo situation, but I am usually the one that my friends talk to when they have problems, and I like to help. I may lack the experience, but I still feel I give pretty good advice because they keep coming back for more. I will always be here if you need me donald, even if it is usually girls that I help.
p.s. alissa is a great girl!
Ooooo Donald...I have no idea how I really came across this blog haha but I am glad I did. All I have to say is I'm glad I came to BYUI after I got married so I didn't have to deal with all the NCMOing.
I'm definitely not a believer in NCMOs or even "friends with benefits." Lame, lame, lame. And I know of plenty of boys (aka. man whores) who are experienced in NCMO... I try to avoid them but I'll admit, I've been put in that situation before and definitely regretted it afterward. Sometimes it works out and you end up dating... sometimes it's a CMO for one person and a NCMO for the other. That only ends in heart-break and most likely a severe case of cooties. Kissing is gross. Just say no.
