You two aren't dating, aren't interested in dating, aren't going there.
And yet.
If you could be interested, you would be interested, but since other factors prevent you from ever seeing a profitable future together, you aren't interested.
But you like to treat the friendship as if there was a spark there.
Because there is.
But there isn't.
Because it can't go anywhere.
You feel the freedom of "it can't go anywhere" and are much freer in your attentions to him than if the danger of dating were around the corner.
It's just the way it works. If you are interested in a guy, but good sense and reason tell you "no," then you treat him unlike any other guy you know. You enjoy him on a level you don't enjoy others. You assume a level of closeness that you never take time to develop. So you can tease him without really knowing him. All because there is that unacknowledged spark.
Oh, and if he likes someone else, you tease him. Tease him a lot. And support the relationship even if a twinge of the green-eyed monster lurks behind.
No moral. Just observation.
Uhh...did I really not check your blog in three days because you suddenly had three new posts...finally. :) Someday, Michelle, perhaps we will have that blessing of a "returned spark" from a good guy who wants to take it somewhere. And we will have that peace that passes understanding that it. is. right. And YOU WILL enjoy the process, okay?
