"Your Local Tea Addict" Schizophrenic, knitter, reader and geek with a love of many things.
First day back to school... for fall
Just when you think that the whole thing can't get any more complicated, it does.

What in the world is she talking about you may ask, and I'll tell you in a second.

First off everyone knows that I have had this crush on one of my good guy friends for YEARS. Well, in recent days he has done something that has made me question what he could feel about me.

What could she mean? That's your thought.

I mean, that while one of my other guy friends, who is pretty damn near perfect when it comes to men being great for girls, was talking about how he feels about himself as a committed person, I kept thinking to myself about my other guy friend and how much I wanted to see him.

Don't get me wrong, I really like it when my friends, especially this one, opens up to me. I just wanted to see this other guy friend. I have for a long time. This relationship that we have would be so much easier if I could see him face to face.

Anyways. While my guy friend is talking about his curent situation, my mind keeps wondering back to the one that I like. Does this make me a bad friend?

Going back to the title of this post: Today was the first day abck at the college. Wow, can you say wow? It was a bit nerve-racking driving to it, but once I was there it was like, no sweat. I can so do this. But, as alwasy, something else occupied my mind.

You guessed it.

I can't stop wishing I could just be with my guy friend that I like. Not just be with him like most people mean, but I mean just to stand near him for a minute would make me happy. I want to talk with him, stand face to face and just talk about everything and nothing at all. I want to get ot know him better and to understand him. Not just becuase I may love him, but becuase I want him to know who I am too and see if he can be happy with someone like me; not just like me, but me.

I have no idea what I'm going to do, spend the time and money to go see him, or just wait? Why is it that no one comments me on what they think?

If you're doing what you can to help, I don't see how you could be considered a bad friend. Unless you were talking to not-loved guy friend face-to-face, there's no reason you should feel bad about thinking about something else. And that's just for me, you know? I'm sure many people can converse and be thinking about something completely different. I sound like a raving lunatic on downers when I do that.

Maybe you should ask guy friend what he thinks about your situation. Then maybe toss your situation at maybe-love guy friend as a hypothetical situation or something like that.

I think you're a wonderful person and... Well, this is going to sound a little silly, but I think you can judge people well enough that he'll recognize that too, since you like him so much.

As for the time-money-visit business, it really depends on how much of each, I think. If he lives in-state, then hell yeah, spend a weekend visiting 'im. If he lives on the other side of the country, maybe wait till winter or spring break. You can be all touristy and visit him and suchlike. Maybe Thanksgiving?

At least school is going easy.
