"acquaintance" is such a complicated word. the
dictionary says "a person one knows slightly, but not as a close friend"
that definition does not even begin to explain what an acquaintance is.
and acquaintance can be the example given by the
dictionary. it can also be a person that you will not accept
friendship from. it can be someone that you know almost everything about, yet you deny friendship of the said person. it can be a friend who you don't see that much, or don't feel close to. to be an "acquaintance" means much more than to not be friends. acquaintance can not really be defined in a few words, its just that type of thing that takes a laid out explanation rather than a definition. an acquaintance can range from anywhere between
love and hate, and that doesn't mean it can't be either of the two. it could even be both at the same
time.
an acquaintance can be many things
and i could go on and on about it, but i feel like i should stop here
and let you ponder
Greg and Lilly
aren't quite friends, yet they know so much about each other, and have so much in common. They aren't enemies either, even though they
fight all the
time, and often piss each other off. I guess you'd call them acquaintances.
