Someone to take your life beyond

I think I mentioned once a person I've lost my head over. There have been some developments. Well I have moved in with him for about ten days. This is what happened.
First, my parents sold our house. We'd lived in it for 15 years. Then, with about three days notice, they told me and my siblings that we were supposed to be out and relocated to another property we own in the same city. This property had no working plumbing. So I called this person up and asked if I could stay with him, just so I could have plumbing and also Internet access. Oh, and on my way out of the house, my parents kicked me out. It was messed up. I got no sleep and had to take the next day off work.
The stay was alright. We were friendly and I pined for him some but not too much. Then last night happened.
Last night he was in the mood for talking about deep, dark things. I listened to it all because he is mostly decent to me, except for the fact that he likes me but for his reasons is scared to act on it. Meanwhile he's valiantly trying to be friends. I came across a quote once: "Be gentle to your friends." I have vowed to be gentle with him.
There is a point at which you're not talking to another person as a friend anymore. There's platonic intimacy and then there's what's more than that. Finally he said, "What are you thinking?" and I called his bluff. I said, "I think I want to hug you," and gave him a very non-platonic embrace. I told him I liked him, and that the next move was his. I'm helpless. We talked and held each other some more, and went to our rooms when his other house guest got home. This morning we were friendly but both a little confused about the state of things.
I don't think we're going to get together. And I think he knows that he's wronging me by it. Isn't that strange? Meanwhile, I'm typing this on his computer (note to self: clear his browser history and cache), sitting in the middle of his things, waiting for him to get home from work. I'm hanging out with his friend and talking about their school. He has offered me his life and yet not given it to me. It hurts, but I've got to remember that I'm bigger than it.
It beats living with my parents.

You FORGOT to clear the cache and browser history! That's OK Jean. Last night was a weird night, but I think we'll work things out. We were meant to be together. I think.

I had something incredibly similiar happen to me. Right before I graduated from college there was someone I was friends with and out of nowehere we ended up having one of those deep, late into the night talks where a point was reached where we weren't talking as friends anymore (a great way to put it Jean). If I remember the conversation even went along the same lines, but didn't end up just platonically. This was someone who, under different circumstances, I think I could have fallen deeply in love with. As it was, we had a few shorts weeks and a couple visits - which, especially now, years later, means so much to me that it was worth the pain of leaving her.
That doesn't seem like it helps you, but its all I got.

Shaq doesn't live in Cali anymore, he lives in Miami. If you'd written as Kobe it'd have been much funnier, on so many levels. (Today's comment comedy lessen is now over).

Yeah, Shaq's alright, but Kobe's gross. You know, Shaq's wife is about my height. I am confused that they can procreate. Thanks for the note, Shaq. You are special too.
MG, that actually helps. I'm pretty sure that this will be worth it. It helps to know that your experience was worth it to you. Funny that you had it happen to you, too!

Awww, thanks Jean. Yes, I *am* special. And I have a huge penis. You have a nice smile. Would you go out to dinner with me tonight? I'll take you to one of my favorite places... I think you'd like it a lot.

Nice to see you back Jean. I see you posted a ton of comments in addition to your pithy post. Perhaps a story on the cryptic comment on your parents kicking you out?
I've had the long into the night conversations. Mostly though I just saw an opportunity and slept with the girl. Me and my wandering eye (in the past anyway...) Not so much wondering what will come of it, if anything. Of course I ended a few good friendships with girls when the sex ruined everything...

isnt it obvious why her parents kicked her out, you dull-headed tool? her parents didnt approve of her dating shaq, because... you know... because he's a crappy ass free throw shooter.

As a practical matter it seems you could have forced the issue and not gone back to your rooms, plural.
As for Shaq and his dimunitve wife, it is a perfect match. She doesn't have to feel demeaned by kneeling before him to... ya know.
Agree, Kobe would have been far funnier.

I bet Shaq's wife is always on top.

You guys. Of course it doesn't matter what my parents think because I will move to Miami and live in that bling-bling mansion. Kobe doesn't roll in a Hummer and wave to all the little people like Shaq does. I will wave out of the passenger side window.
Anna, I think we were startled by the other guy. If he had crashed at his other friends' apartment, I think something would've happened for sure. See what happens when former honors students try to hook up. We can't! We're too repressed! I have been working on this. Oh yes.

Two words: roofies.
by mg at September 8, 2005 1:35 PM
Thanks MG, I'll be contacting my dealer immediately.
By the way Chuck... thanks! I'll post that parent thing right now. I have a bit of free time.
by jean at September 8, 2005 5:11 PM
Roofies is only one word, and they always worked well for me.
by anna at September 8, 2005 6:23 PM
But anna, you're not supposed to take then yourself!
by Long Time Lurker at September 8, 2005 7:41 PM
Oh.
