Best Friends ForNEVER


So i had this friend whom i liked since the day i met her. Now when i first met her, she was all up in ups about my buddy so no go brobro--if ya know what i mean. I spent almost a year wondering if i could ever ask her out and the uthinkably terrible happened: we became friends.

Yes...friends.

Like pat you on the back when you give a hug, 'hey how's your dating life,' 'let me set you up with my roommate' type friends.

the worst.

Then something changed--me.

I started to realize that i have always been afraid to ask her out (even though buddy had moved on--aka, he got dumped--but real jokes on her b/c she's still single and he's married...probably because she dumped him on a friday (if you missed this joke, you should read my blog more. if you get this joke, you should read my blog less).) because i might get rejected. (Now, i know that everyone says that you marry your best friend and all, but let's be honest, your best friends know you too well to marry you anyhow.)

So i called her up this summer and said, "HEY, i don't want to be that guy any more. In 3 years we will either be married or we will not be talking...so why are we pretending that we will be friends forever. Let's date."

It was a bold move of unparrelleled courage from me.

And it all worked out great...except that one time when she hasn't talked to me since.

But that isn't the point. The point is that now...now, i have one less friend AND i'm still single. Wait...crap. This post didn't turn out the way i thought it would. But then again, what does (besides reruns of The Office)?

h'm. well...i guess that no matter what tactic you choose, no matter how you play the game, no matter what is happening...it comes down to you, my friends.

  5. love this post! I gave an ultimatum like that to a guy once... and now we're married.

    but... we had dated before and I really was okay with not being his friend anymore if he didn't want to date

    better luck next time?
