The Movie Situation



… After months of dating Mr.Confused finally thought it was time to address the fact that he has time/scheduling issues. The man is busy we get it, aren’t we all a bit too busy? Clearly he was into it and I knew he was doing his best. But what happens when ‘his best’ falls too short? I’ll tell you what, you decide to call it quits on dating but say yes to friendship. After nearly a month of no communication we decided to “hangout” again. Both hoping we’d had enough time to get over it and give this friendship deal a real shot. So? Yay for a movie night, right?’

Well, yes, but how can going to the movies with your friend leave you so “Dazed and Confused”? I’ll tell you how, things hadn’t changed. I don’t know about you but I’m not in the habit of being overly affectionate with platonic friends. This was beyond the friends zone. We fit naturally like we always had. The butterflys, the giddy feeling, the knowing gaze, the stolen glances, it was all still there. The genuine like, the physical chemistry, the ‘tell me every little thing that’s been going on with you in details because I want to be immersed in you’, it was all the same.

The only thing missing was the pressure of a four letter word, that seems to have the power to turn all of us inside out, DATE. That word does it all. So what do you call a more than friends but not a date movie date?
It can’t be this hard…it’s not that hard
