I met him like three years ago. He's really nice and we became good friends. He started to treat me more than a friend though, but that just can't happen. He knew I'm with someone and he knew that I have great respect for my boyfriend and great respect for my self. I really only consider him as a friend.
He called after a year. The exact same date that Ivan's body was buried. He asked me how I was doing, when, out of nowhere I blurted out "Ivan's dead. What do you think am I feeling right now?!!!" Still, he called everyday to check on me, if I was feeling better already, but, after a hurtful situation, I taked nonsense.
He remembered and called again after another year. That was like three weeks ago. I have already moved on from what had happened the previous year and the interest to talk to a friend was back. He called me every night, after I got off from my work. I have to admit that I missed chatting with a friend, that's why I enjoyed talking to him, sharing pieces of my thoughts.
Our last conversation over the phone was last Monday. I was happy when he called, but, my mood changed when he asked me what I did at work during the day. I told him what I did and after that he blurted out "Just because of those things that you did at work today, you didn't had the time to text me?!!! Do I have to go to your office just to remind you to text me?!!!" And oh, he said that in a loud tone. I was speechless. He is my friend. And he is just my friend!!! Tell me; is it already an obligation to message a friend everyday?!!! I was busy with work and didn't even had the time to brush my teeth and that's what he'll tell me?!!! Isn't that a little too selfish of him? He is not my boyfriend, if he is, then that's when I'll give time to message him no matter how busy I am with work. Of course, this is my opinion and what I felt.
I made it very clear from the beginning that he is my friend, though, i know he wanted to be more than just friends! I am ready to commit now, after a long time of being single, but, I guess, not with him.
Have you ever felt this situation? That you are comfortable with someone, but, you just can't be together because you know that you might lose the friendship if the relationship didn't work out. That you are just better of as friends.
Yep, I am happy that I met him, I am happy that we became good friends, and I am happy that I can share my thoughts with him. Well, I learned a lesson here too, to be careful of being comfortable with someone when you know that you have different reasons for being close, or else, you'll end up getting IRRITATED.
