It is said that already in the times of Adam and Eve the age-old question was: are we friends or something more? Universally and mythologically we have all had a moment of total crash where our minds realized “oh god I have a crush on my friend and this crush is one way”. That moment is when you realize, without any hope, that you are in what the so-called mass culture defines FRIENDZONE.

Ma what happens when the friendzone gets confused with that free zone in which there is neither meat nor fish, or when two people who have known each other for a long time realize that theirs is not simple friendship but do not know how to get out and especially if want to do it?
It happens Dawson’s Creek. That is, it happens that you enter the even more fatal FRIENDS BUT MAYBE LOVERS ZONE.
Dawson e Joey they are 15 years old and they are friends, indeed they are not just friends, they are “soul mates”. He, without a doubt born under the sign of Pisces, a dreamer who shapes the world making it just like a movie; she sarcastic, direct and with clear objectives in front of her. He needs her to explain reality, she needs him to escape it. Together, on paper, they are perfect, their special, unique bond.
But it is precisely this link that keeps them locked in the friend zone, at the base of which there is a constant misunderstanding, a misunderstanding of the romantic language that can arise from the fear of altering a status quo or ruining a relationship. And I’m sure that Joey he would continue to climb into the bedroom every night Dawson from the window, to discuss movies, existence and masturbation (male only, young ladies were still invited to keep silent in 1998), fueling a palpable frustration and embarrassment, if the arrival of Just had not jeopardized this delicate balance.

Dawson e Joey finally they are together and then they break up, they are together again and again they break up, in the meantime they talk a lot using tones close to the Dolce stil novo but combined with knowledge of Freudian psychoanalysis worthy of a professorship. With no shame I say that I have always cheered for anyone who got between those two, da Just a Jack, passing through the most unlikely extras. To all of them I offered my moral support, in destroying that banal and symbiotic idea of ”soul mate” which, however, not really evolving, has never managed to get beyond its superficial meaning.

No wonder it is Joey who finally gets rid of the cage for good friends-but-maybe-lovers-zone, falling in love with Pacey. It also makes you think that your great love will be the second closest person to Dawson after her, or her best friend.
The sentimental education that he leaves us as an inheritance Dawson’s Creek it is the constant doubt in defining our feelings along with a gigantic claim to true love and many existential questions to be answered with other questions.

But if you are in it too, don’t worry: in the end it comes out. Just start looking around.
