Hi Trulyshi, I am so glad to hear of your active social life post Barry. You deserve to be appreciated. From watching my girlfriend’s dating life, I am a little leary of those who profess their love quickly. Good for you on taking things slow. I like that you have been friends for a long time. Listen to me. Giving dating advice. Something I know nothing about. Beside that, my girlfriend’s experiences have been nothing like my own. My husband says he fell in love with me the minute he saw me walk into one of our college classes. We began dating, and he professed his love shortly after. Scared me to death. I broke up with him. I said the usual line about still wanting to be friends. After my rejection, he drove 4 hours from my house to his house on his motorcycle in the pouring rain. He left me a letter saying that we could never be friends because he loved me too much.
I ran into him on campus a year later. We were in the same Economics class. It bothered me that he had said we couldn’t be friends. I set out to prove him wrong. He set out to win me over. He did win me over, but we did became good friends first. A friendship that has lasted 33 years. At the time, however, every time he began to get serious, I would say…just friends; just friends. Finally, we went out on a date. Two weeks later, he asked me to marry him, and I said "Yes!" No point to this story really..just thought I’d share.
Thought of a point..don’t underestimate a good friendship! Have a great time tonight. We are going to a Superbowl party. Not a big fan of the Superbowl, but the party is a tradition. There is always lots and lots of good food, and I enjoy the TV commercials!
