Some RL stuff, plus pics of Dom and Lij partying at Billy's wedding!
RELATIONSHIP STUFF (cont'd...)
So the dinner last Thursday with my friend went smoothly. He didn't try anything and I paid for my own meal. Since then we've continued hanging out as usual, plus he's been asking my good friend about me. She made it clear the kind of girl I am when it comes to relationships and threw in some tips for him, because I wasn't sure whether I liked him or not at this point.
Today he asked if I wanted to watch tLotR: RotK; yeah, he found my weak spot. He rented the movie and came over my apartment where he, my good friend, and I watched it. I should add this was not the theatrical version either and he's not savvy on the whole story; he only wanted to watch it for me. However, I didn't mind explaining it to him; it was amusing anyway. The only problem was, I knew he was looking for the opportunity to put his arm around my shoulder/waist, whatever ('cause he's done it before in a movie theater). And guess what, he tried it. I subtly as possible pulled away and awkwardly played it off. I'm glad he tried this at the part where Middle Earth had been saved or else it would've been a looooong awkward movie watching. While in the car he asked if I like him and I told him, "Just as a friend; I want to stay friends like we are now." He accepted it polity and then we parted ways. I hate rejecting friends, especially since, in my history, they usually choose to lose touch with me after discovering they have no chance with me. I feel like a mean person when I hurt friends this way. Even though I know it has to happen sometimes, I still feel like a bad person.
So question: Can straight women and straight men ever have a successful, clean friendship, nothing more? Maybe it's just my age group (early 20s, emerging adulthood as psychologists say) or generation but I know girls my age who have good guy friends. My oldest and closest guy friend is a high school ex and turned gay directly after we dated <--- High school story of my life.
I am disgruntled.
....
On the flip side, some sexy party pics of Dom and Lij at the after party of Billy's wedding! <3 (At least, I'm pretty positive it's the after party.)
