I had coffee this morning. With a friend. The friend was a he and it was sort of pre-date like, but it was really just coffee with a friend. He's a new friend. And darn it, where did all of my male friends go? :::sigh::: I used to have so many male friends, as many as my girlfriends or probably more. I miss just talking to guys. I'm stuck here in small town couple-ville where having guy friends to go hang with just doesn't seem to happen if you're married. Why is that? I totally don't buy that guys and girls can't be friends thing. I do buy that sexual tension thing - yeah, that's always a possibility, but I think it's just another form of energy out there and I don't at all think it makes male/female friendship impossible.
So yeah, I had coffee with a boy. We talked for three hours and I loved the conversation even though I spent the better part of the last hour trying to convince him he has "got" to go find his fiance' of ten years ago and tell her he's still in love with her. And though it wasn't actually a love connection, it was a really great friend connection. Neither of us was really done, but I had a preschool little who needed picking up so I'll have to wait for my next free of child time to make any more "friend" connections. Could it actually be that dating/pre-dating/finding new friends might not be hopelessly painful? Or did I just get lucky?
