Tee, hee, WBBF (would be boy friend), that's misleading, but love the phrase.

Thurs. night I went out to dinner with the only guy I've had a relationship with since D. We had a very casual relationship which we broke off several months ago though we've stayed in sporadic touch via email.

I thought we were on the same page regarding our relationship, IE, it is a friendship, nothing more. He tested this a bit by giving me a hug & kiss which was more than I'd ever give to a friend. I think he'd be open to more than friendship but I'm not. I guess this begs the question can you really be friends when you been something else? Keep in mind we were never intimate but we did some touchy, feely. He did remark about someone else he'd been involved with that it was hard to go backwards once you've been intimate. Gave me kind of a look when he said it.

Good question. I've been in touch with a guy I dated last year (IM or email once a week or so). It'd be nice to be able to hang out with him every now and then - go to dinner or catch a movie or whatnot. I just get the feeling, though, that if we did, he'd want more...... And I am not interested in that with him.........So I've avoided that essentially.

Sounds like your guy wants more, from what you've said.

I've only tested the theory once.....and failed miserably. Therefore, I think it's nearly impossible.
If there were any chemistry the first time, it would be there subsequently too. I think the only way it would be different for me is if the person had betrayed my trust in some way. Of course, if that were the case, I doubt I would be accepting a date period.

What are your thoughts concerning WBBF Nams? Is it anything you want to re-visit with him?

Interesting update!

K!

Hi K,

No I don't wish to re-visit a relationship with him. He's a nice man but the relationship hit a go no further point.

Before I saw him the other night I was fairly certain I'd be able to make a friendship work. Maybe I was nieve. Now things feel awkward & that's too bad. I'm hoping we can get past that so that we really can be friends.
