About Kors and Meis.

Gosh. I haven’t seen those words in eons. But these days, I am seeing these words pretty often. You know, I have this theory that comes from observation since 2000 (back when I was in secondary one). People become Kors and Meis because either the guy likes the girl but can’t get the girl or the other way round. It kind of makes it easier for them than to remain friends. Because you still can be nice and spend a lot of time with your kor/mei without feeling that you are neglecting the “official half”. And the “official half” cannot complain either. Best of both worlds. It’s also the closest thing these people can get to being a couple, no?

Besides, when the party that cannot be “caught” gets into trouble or breaks up *touch wood* with their respective boyfriend/girlfriend, the kor/mei will be there to lend a shoulder and yada yada. And before you know it, VIOLA! They are either in an official relationship or in an ambiguous relationship. You know, the stage whereby people start to question, “Eh! Are they a couple or not?!”

Oh, admit it. This is at least 99.95% of the time true. I have yet to see a purely platonic kor-mei relationship.

Don’t tell me you just like the person as a mei/kor. How ridiculous does that sound? Especially when you have a mei/kor at home? Well, unless you are addicted to being an kor/mei. Now, that’s REALLY scary then.

So, face it! Do you have a kor/mei? Is it really truly honestly frankly that simple? Or is there something more?

I’m open for discussions! Prove me wrong!! Or tell me your thoughts on this topic (:
