I feel a bit weird but I don't know exactly why. I talked to Scottie last night. Although I've spent a few days with him, talked to him loads, with and without other people I haven't really had telephone conversations with him, simply because we'll text or talk on MSN, maybe email... just never did the phone thing. But last night I replied to his text, and he replied back saying something or other and then asked whether I was asleep because for some reason he fancied calling me for some reason (his own words).
So, we talked for about 45 minutes. It was perfectly normal conversation. He told me about China, he was there when I was in Switzerland, shooting on the Olympic ground he'll be shooting on again in August. Told me what it was like, what the shooting was like, the competition etc. We then talked more about shooting, about training and then a bit about Verbier, skiing, climbing... then talked a bit about fitness and all that stuff... plus a bit of joking around etc. Perfectly normal conversation for us, and generally for me.
The weird thing was, when I said I had to go and we said goodbye, afterwards I felt weird... possibly guilty. But, I don't like him any more than a friend. He's really nice and we have fun shooting or talking, joking around etc but there is most certainly no spark or other feelings there. And yet, I feel guilty for talking to him. Possibly because he reminds me of Peter in a way... he's similar in the fact that
1) He shoots for GB
2) He's in his twenties
3) He and I joke a lot
4) He called me later than I'd have liked
But, I don't like him. So I shouldn't feel guilty? He doesn't like me, I'm sure - he does after all have a girlfriend which I know about, he's mentioned her and so did Peter etc. So why do I feel guilty and I dunno... like the other girl?
Am I doing something I shouldn't?
