The one with the list...
Note: This is not a post to fish for hot air to be blown you know where.
This weekend was an interesting weekend. I had a couple of good talks with a friend of mine. He happens to be a guy. One of our discussions eventually lead the the topic of us, and what we wanted from each other. We were confused as to what the other was thinking, and came to the conclusion that there were many things about the other that we found attractive, but it wasn't enough to start a relationship.
Cut to night two of the weekend: We were together again - talking about girls and what not. I mentioned the fact that I was cute, and...let's just say I pressed him for what he really thought of me. He asked if I really wanted to know the truth, and I said yeah. He listed a bunch of things about me and were very kind, and it lead up to this..."Pretty much...you'd be a knock-out, if you were only a little more athletic".
There was an episode in the second season of FRIENDS when Ross and Rachel kissed for the first time. In order to decided which girl he was going to go for - his current girlfriend or Rachel - he made a list. The ol' pros and cons list. Eventually Rachel finds the list, and she saw what Ross wrote about her. And this is what Rachel said...
"Imagine the worst things you think about yourself. Now, how would you feel if the one person that you trusted the most in the world not only thinks them too, but actually uses them as a reason not to be with you."
