Question Posted Saturday February 14 2004, 3:31 pm
Towards the beginning of this year I was placed in the wrong lunch for me. Gah, people threw food and got out of hand and it was horrid. I decided not to change my schedule so I'd get a different lunch and delt with the task of finding another place to eat. Choice A was the art room. For some weeks I did this until my friend's moronic friend came in and, to make a long story short, ruined it for all of us. Then I began talking with my bio lab partner and he told me about the library. Even though you can't eat inside it (unless you're bookclub) it has atmosphere. I started going and doing my algebra homework and just hanging around with cool people who flock there.
Into the 2nd week or so of this I realised the shy burnette in the corner who was always silently contemplating life was my bio partner. I began to sit with him and play chess. It makes me sad to see someone without many friends in a new school. Sure, I had friends, oodles from the old school, but he was someone who had come from a low-budget school and knew 2 people at this high-school, one of which was in only one of his classes and had already "moved on", the other an acquaintance.
Soon he and I became great friends. And more people started to join he and I. One of my better friends comes in 2 or 3 times a week to study with us.
Last Thursday we had to sit on the floor in an aisle due to 2 classes havng reserved the library for 3rd hour. My lab partner, my previous friend and one person from the class which was in the library sat and had a generally great time. The night before, Wednesday, I sat up with insomnia and drew penguins. Some turned out to become valentines, one which was for the person in this post. I gave it to him and he smiled like he likes me. And I'm pretty sure he does. I think I've finally gotten under his skin. But... I do not want to be anything but friends with him. I just came from an evil relationship with someone who was originally my friend but then more. The problem is that part of me wants to be more than his friend or side-kick (as I dubbed him). I just don't know which to go with.
Additional info, added Monday February 16 2004, 9:08 pm: Can you imagine yourself kissing him? Or if you're old enough,sleeping with him?
yes to the first, not before marraige for me to the second.
Did your last relationship go wrong because you started out as friends or is that coincidental?
coincidental, it went wrong because he cheated.
What message would your Valentine have given him?
not sure. it was just 2 penguins...
How would you cope if it didn't work out between you?
not well. I'd be very lonely at lunch and bio would be hard too.
Are you sure he likes you that way?
nope.
Do you want one bad relationship to stop you having fun in the future?
nope.

You have to trust your heart. I know its hard to start a new relationship after you had a bad one, but you learn from mistakes. [ icanhelpcallonme's advice column | Ask icanhelpcallonme A Question ]

This is similar to what my boyfriend was feeling about me at first, so we decided to hang out, go on a couple dates, just to see things out. And if turned out, that his feelings were right, and really did want to go out with me. You never know, give him a try. [ joolaygurl89's advice column | Ask joolaygurl89 A Question ]
