I got soul but I'm not a soldier
So, two points of order.
First point of order: I have established two rules for my attempts at dating. First Rule of Ryan-Dating: If you are single, you pay no attention to me, if you are involved, you LOVE me! Second Rule of Ryan-Dating: If you are single and DO pay me some attention, you will let me do all the footwork in establishing a relationship, but if you are involved, you throw yourself at me! I truly do not get it.
Now that we have established, we come to the second point of order.
I have recently meet someone of the female persuasion. We have a great many things in common, it is quite funny. She is very smart, funny and of course, beautiful. The catch: she has a boyfriend (apparently). I don't see this as a problem for a few reasons. One, even if she has a boyfriend, there is no reason we can't hang out, get to know one another and be friends (platonic maybe, with a side of sexual tension is always fun). Two, some people begin talking to new potential partners while still dating someone else.
Friday night, she me to invited me to a dinner party a friends house. We went last night (Monday) and had a great time.Tonight, we ended up watching a movie (two actually), and she wants to watch a movie again tomorrow. I really enjoy her company and I am guessing she likes mine as well. Other than the fact she has a boyfriend, there are no foreseeable problems for a great friendship but one...
Apparently she is leaving in two weeks to do her internship and will be gone forever after that (she technically graduated in May, but is finishing up her degree this summer, which includes the internship). She has made it very clear she wants to keep hanging out the next two weeks until she moves... She also made it very clear she wishes we had meet sooner and all of that that comes when you meet someone but the timing is off.
Just because there is some chemistry here, I am not getting my hopes up. Just as friends, not even romantically. My question is: why couldn't we have meet earlier in the school year? We had class together all Spring semester, but didn't meet til the very end (we were put in a group project together). The fates are truly not fair, on a multitude of levels.
C'est la vie, I suppose.
