Very interesting information
I know something interesting about cards:
their height and width ratio is always same all around the world and equals to the Golden ratio but names of cards differs among cultures.

Weren't there originally five... or was it six suits? Moons and pentacles I think... I can't remember the details...

The four suits come from the minor arcana in Tarot cards as well.
The major arcana is too differential from card to card to have an organized system (like the minor aracana), so playing cards have no equivalent to the major arcana.
The minor arcana in tarot consists of the swords, the wands, the coins, and the cups.

lol, I know... Hearts are cups, Diamonds are swords, Spades are pentacles and Clubs are wands. I read tarot cards as well!
I'm not very good though, I'm still learning!
I also read that each of the kings in a normal pack of playing cards represent a king of England or something or other.

I'm not sure if it's Kings of England, but they're definitely supposed to represent kings.

Well, we had become somewhat like best friends before we got together but we always fought in public (litterally, at the cafeteria where we had lunch he used to steal away something from me like papers I needed or a backpack or something like that resulting in me having to get it back while he was stronger than me but I was faster than him resulting in me tending to win eventually
But it opened someone elses eyes ^^

ahh, best friend to relationship... not always the best way! At least you're happy it ended!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Appearantly not. Hence why I am scared of falling in love with the first guy I actually loved (really loved) again *sigh* He is my actual best friend and at the same time he is some sort of enemy... it's complicated
I am really happy that it ended between me and that ex

Well, at the end of the day, any relationship is a gamble, and I think you're too young to be afraid of love
Do what you think is best my dear, but sometimes it's good to take a chance! Other wise you'll never know, right? Plus every relationship is completely different and you can never predict how it's going to be or how it'll end, so there's not much point in comparing what happened with your ex to any other new relationship!
Best friends to relationship works for many other people! It depends on the person!

I guess I am. I don't think I'm afraid of love. Just of loving one guy in particular, one guy which I know I did love (for three years,without ever being a couple with him -not my ex XD -) and I don't want to admit of to myself that I just maybe might still love. Because I had to get over him once and that was hard enough already (never even completely worked). And I can't take the risk of losing him as a friend, because I just don't want to lose him. I know I'm young for that, but it's true nonetheless.On the other hand, I am in some way happy enough with the way things are going right now.
Chances are sometimes good indeed, but for some reason, we get along better and better , him and me, at times, and then one of us realises that that is happening and pull away again. I'd rather have him as a friend than as nothing at all. So , I dunno if I should take the risk.
It does, but like I said, the relationship between me and him is complicated.
Thank you for listening (or reading) it means alot to me

Hmm... well, you know what's best! I would go with your gut instinct, it's almost always right and if you think you might lose him as a friend, maybe it's better if you stay friends!
