Well That Didn't Work

VALENTINE'S DAY
I'm just gonna get this out of the way. Adi brought it to my attention that I kinda have a (small) thing for our friend, Alex. He and I can talk for hours and I get a lot from talking with him. Key word: with. I enjoy our conversations immensely. I told him. Interestingly enough, he was thinking he liked me too. We both know we can't date (I'll get to why, hold your horses) but I was really happy to hear that someone I respect and enjoy spending time with as much as Alex feels the same about me. Like I said though, we can't date.

For one thing, his roommate may or may not like me. We know he did, but neither of us has a clue as to whether or not he still does.

Second, he and I are friends and share a good number of other friends...we can't risk changing the dynamic of our entire group.

Third, and most importantly, cuz the first two we could work around, Alex feels he shouldn't be in a relationship right now for reasons that I am not at liberty to share.

It's no big deal, which is great. I mean, it'd be nice--he's certainly adorable and I can' think of anyone who I'd rather spend my time with at the moment. Oh, and he's hysterically funny...he makes me laugh, I mean, really laugh. I think I've made it quite clear how smart he is==but it's actually fine that we're not gonna go out and it doesn't seem to have affected our friendship...at all. I still feel happy knowing that he felt similarly...

...and, while I still find myself without a Valentine, I have two things better: some amazing friends and the knowledge that if Dennis came over today and asked me to take him back, I'd say no. Comments ()
