MM's friend--a turning point

Well, well.

I talked to MM's friend for well over an hour last night. Apparently he DIDN'T know about the physical side of my R with MM. ??? Why would MM say that XXX knew when he didn't???

Anyway, he was great. He is so supportive. But I didn't reveal my feelings about him. Until today. I told him that I "really liked him". He said he appreciated that, and that he's had some of those same feelings towards me. But he also said that he knows I have some things to work out for myself first. That he's held back beause he's never wanted to be the cause of a relationship breaking up, etc. His wife cheated on him, so he's really adament about being straight up in his relationships. I completely agreed with him, telling him I wouldn't want to think about starting anything with him until I've got the rest of my life figured out first. He kept telling me he appreciated my honesty, and talked about how he hates games. He asked me about the status of my relationship with MM. I told him that though I hadn't officially ended it, we've just been talking as friends. He hasn't asked for any more, so I haven't brought it up.

When wrapping up the conversation, he told me that I "made his weekend". :) He's gone this week out of state, but told me that I could call anytime.

I am totally smitten. MM was a GREAT sex partner. I think he was getting to the point where he was getting too emotionally involved. I was thinking the "ILU" thing would pop out of his mouth, and I wasn't quite sure what to do with that. But I've decided for myself that he isn't what I really want. MM's friend, on the other hand...

Oh, and he said that he didn't think things would be awkward between him and MM because he said MM is pretty laid back.

Oh, so much to think about...
