the strange balance that is life at the moment
Sooo....I guess this is my first move into "life post Joe". I'll set the scene:
Today around 10:30 this guy walks into my office at work looking pretty flustered. Evidently he was 30 minutes late for a meeting with our Athletic Director, who wasnow in a meeting and wouldn't be able to see him until the meeting was over, about an hour after that. I lead him back to the Athletic Directors waiting room and wentback to my desk. Immediatley my boss Natalie was up and asking "you are still single right?that guy is very nice, polite....you should go talk to him right?" I told her I was way way too shy to randomly go up and talk to some guy and I let it go. A few minutes later I walked back to hand off a time sheet to Natalie and he calls over "so what's this conference in atlanta you went to? Natalie was telling me all about you". Yeah, so Natalie hooked it up. Matt and I talked for like 40 min and then Mominey finally got out of the meeting.
Evidently he's a masters student out at UM and is coming back up to Nova sometime to take in a baseball game with me. Pretty simple really, but it was nice to have someone show intrest and go out of their way to see me instead of "so what are you doin tonight?".
Yeah, so the second part of this is that I still hang w/ Joe like twice a week and have a ball. He's deff still my best friend and probably always will be, atleast I can hope. It kind of feels like I'm cheating you know? I dont know how I'm going to deal when he starts dating someone new, I want the best for him...but I had a lot invested in that. I bet I'll release the charged emotions and slowly remove myself from it like I did w/ Craig, but this is a strange new thing for me. I never really saw myself in this position.
Advice?
