Cupid's Pulse Article: ‘One Day’ featuring Jim Sturgess and Anne HathawayCupid's Pulse Article: ‘One Day’ featuring Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway

Dexter and Emma (Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway) are two college-friends who sleep together on the night of their college graduation, and then they go their own ways while still remaining friends.  Dexter goes into the entertainment business and Emma becomes a teacher.  The film shows the two of them each year on the anniversary of their college graduation to see where the two are in their lives.  Sometimes they’re apart, and other times, they’re together.  An original idea for a romantic movie, “One Day” captures the power friendship has in a person’s life.

 

Is it possible to remain just friends after it crosses the line once?

Cupid’s Advice:

Yes it is possible, but it at times be difficult to keep it a platonic friendship.  Cupid has a few suggestions:

1. Boundaries: It’s important that you and your friend keep your distance and don’t have your friendship turn into something more if you’re not ready.

2. Talk to your lover: Your partner shouldn’t feel threatened by a friendship, you just have to reassure them you are just friends.

3. Mutuality: You and your friend need to stay on the same page on the status of your friendship, meaning if feelings blossom, they need to know so you two can act accordingly.
