I have noticed a theme in your blogs.

edit: you should have tagged her, she was gagging for it.

Really, I put emphasis on the fact that there's nothing sexual or romantic between us only because I know that there are many who might think otherwise. It's hard to fully explain a the circumstances of a relationship, particularly a relationship with someone of the opposite sex, such that I wouldn't need to state this clearly. You just know which people in your life are possible "prospects" and which are nothing more than what they are, but it's not always so easy to articulate exactly why you know that. You'll just have to take my word for it that there really wasn't anything there.

Your story makes perfect sense to me, actually. Sometimes, though, those who we didn't consider "prospects" turn into excellent ones. I think that being close friends with someone before dating them is the best plan.

Your ability to have good friendships with women speaks well of you, in my opinion.

If both of you are always so nice all the time, how do you manage to degrade women enough to turn them on?

Do I give the humour points for the set up or the punch line?

or possibly you want to use her to get at one of her friends. musn't forget that angle. or maybe you just think she's cool as hell in a wholly platonic way. meaning, of course, that you subconciously want her.

With that title, this thread should be my biography.

That's my blog title, mousie. I've been a cheesewhore for as long as I've been here. Actually, longer.

Hrm. It's amazing how a little time can dull the memories. Apparently, I was interested in her as more than a friend... I was looking through some old shit today, and came across this excerpt from something I wrote about this subject a few years ago.

quote:

---

Moving On... During the time my friend was going out with Jess, I got to go on a "pseudodate" with my friend Chris (short for Christine). A short description of her, since I lack pictures, is simply that if I could choose to have a relationship with absolutely any girl I know, she would easily be at the top of the list. Not just for her appearance, which is quite nice in itself, but also for her personality and the fact that I have absolutely no problem talking with her and feel totally at ease around her. During our friendly-date we went to see a movie, and then went back to her apartment for a drink and ended up watching a couple more movies on TV. Then I went home. There very well may have been something there, or there may not have been. With Chris, it's very difficult to tell, and since I had trouble seeing Jess's VERY obvious hints for over a year, well... Who knows?

Anyway, that was that until shortly before I returned to school, my friend SOMEHOW managed to talk me into getting together with him and Jess to shoot pool as a sort of farewell party for me. Considering how awkward this was looking, I decided to see if Chris would agree to accompany me to this. I ended up having to beg her to do it, but she agreed when I explained the circumstances. So, we went to play pool, and with her there it felt much less awkward, plus it was nice to see the flash of jealousy on Jess's face when I showed up with Chris and payed almost no attention to Jess the whole night. After we left the bar, Chris and I ended up going to a pancake house (always open!) for a late-night snack before going our separate ways. When we said goodnight, there is a possibility that she may have been expecting a kiss, but I didn't notice until she was gone and I was driving home, so I missed out on that opportunity. More's the pity.

It always makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time.
I once had a friend who told me (after I got back from my first year at college) "You know, you've really changed". It's one of the most hurtful things anyone has ever said to me (in context, which was that she was saying I had turned into a jerk).

Rosh, do you think you have or haven't changed in the way you relate to women?

In a lot of ways I've not changed, and in a lot of ways I have.

I'm still as blind to possibilities as ever, and do my best not to acknowledge them unless I'm sure they exist, and I'm still quite passive in the whole relationship front. Edit: I'm not sure this was really clear. Essentially, I don't consider a girl to be anything more than a "friend" unless given very clear indications otherwise, and I don't make a move unless I'm given very clear signals that she's interested.

However, given the right circumstances, I'm probably willing to move more quickly into a relationship than I used to be. Which is still probably very slow compared to most people.

what a sad little life you live when you don't change over the course of time.

Oh, I change. In many ways, I'm completely different from what I was like 5 years ago. In other ways, I'm very much the same.

Given that I don't have a lot of experience with women in a relationship sense, I haven't had much opportunity to change in that respect. But each experience has left me slightly different from what I was like before.
