I've been occasionally hanging out with a friend (who happens to be male) over the past several weeks. We've attempted to see some concerts together, only to fail due to weather and me losing the tickets a couple weeks ago, but have still managed to hang out over some drinks.
Well, I received an e-mail of one of our mutual friends today that said "hey michelle, i notice that there are quite a few dual references to each other on C & your blogs, something going on here the rest of us should be aware of? if not, the rest of us think something should be going on since we've been trying to get you guys together for the better part of two years now!"
WHAT? I had no clue my friends were plotting this! I had no idea that they'd even considered me and C a potential match! On top of it, I'd never even pondered something more than friends with C, but now that the bone has been thrown out there (no pun intended), I'm suddenly contemplating knawing on it (again, no pun intended)! How in the world do these bizarre things come about?
Done ranting....

You know, I'll never really understand how friends think sometimes. Then again, I can barely understand how *I* think.
What's funny is how a note like that can suddenly change your perspective- you've known this guy for some time, been buds, and never thought of... gnawing on the bone, so to speak. Your friends (again, if they were thinking this, how come they didn't say so? How come you didn't know?) say something otherwise, you see it from another angle, and all of a sudden...
...hmmmmmm.
Pick up the ball and run with it! Just be sure you're heading towards the correct end zone. LOL
"Pick up the ball and run with it! Just be sure you're heading towards the correct end zone. LOL" Pun intended NGOL?
Keep in mind, I have NO idea if this guy has even considered this---my first thought would be no since we've been out, just the two of us, on several occasions and he's made nary a move or comment. I figure if it's supposed to happen it will and if not, I still have a great pal to hang out with!
*insert embarrassed face* the last time we were out, he and I were having a lengthy discussion about the bartendresses 'gravity defying' breasts (his term, not mine, though I do admit, I was highly jealous of this particular woman's entire package of goods). The next day he e-mailed and said he was positive he could've hooked me up with her, if I were of that persuasion! Tell me, do ya think he had a little fantastical imaginatory 'thing' going on at home that night or what???? ;)

I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious vis
>>Pun intended NGOL?<<
No, that one was an accident. LOL
He might have had some fantasy thing going on there. Not that there's anything wrong with that! :)
Making that transition from friends to dating is a weird one, isn't it? I've had it go incredibly well once in my life, wound up living together and had a fabulous relationship. Every other time I tried it, it didn't work out. Then again, that was only about 2 or 3 other times, so a 25% success rate isn't bad.
I've actually done the transition three times. Two of them were not 'long-term', only about 5-6 months each, but they ended amicably and we still touch base (i've moved away, they've married, thus things have changed). The third one---well, the 'relationship' didn't necessarily end on a bad note, but something occurred after we ended things that has caused a serious rift that, by my choice, will never be repaired....
All in all, we could be the spokespersons for the friend to relationship transition!

similar thing has happened with an old friend of mine. until someone else pointed out "why weren't we together", neither one of us considered it. sad thing is...he is 8 hours away now.
