Dave

I'm kind of annoyed with what I though was one of my closest friends, Dave.
I haven't been living here for very long, so I hardly hang out with people that I have actually known for a long time.
Dave and me met a few month ago at a mutual friend's party. I was drunk, he was funny, we hung out all night. Nothing happened. I didn't even really know what he looked like, as it was a costume party. Through friends, we met quite often, we started going out for drinks from time to time as well. We had a great time, but although he's funny, smart and just a great guy, I'm just not interested. That's were the problem starts, because he is. After a while of just hanging out, we had the awkward conversation #1, something along the line of: "Where is this going?" "Not sure..." "Me neither..." "Hmm, we're having such a great time, maybe we could just leave it like that for the moment?"
I thought, great, problem solved, he isn't really interested either, maybe we can just be friends. We started hanging out all the time, we agree about everything, and I honestly started to wish I could somehow be romantically interested. But it just isn't there! No spark, whatever you want to call it, from my side it's not there!
As I don't behave girly around him (I drink beer, play play-station, surf and swear), I was hoping he would get over the initial bit of interest as well.
Unfortunately that wasn't the case, so we kept having more awkward conversations. They got worse and worse, to the point were he was questioning if he could or should hang out with me if I wouldn't hook up with him (in a nicer way and a lot more words, but that was the bottom line). Usually he apologized in the morning and we forgot all about it until the next time.
Not so much last night. He complained that his friends were making fun of him for not hooking up with me! He's a grown man, who cares what your friends say? He pretty much ended our friendship then and there (again), but tried to insist that I still stay over as planned. Okay, it was six in the morning, but yeah right, you don't want to hang out with me because of what your friends say, and think I'm still staying for the night? Yeah right. Anyway, got to pick up my stuff today from him. I just don't know what to think! I mean, I'm sorry I can't fall for him, but I just can't. I don't give a shit what his friends say, and am very surprised that somebody his age does! And I know this is hard on him as well, but the whole 'you are my best friend/ we can't hang out anymore/ you changed my life/ we can't hang out anymore/ this friendship means so much to me/ we can't hang out anymore' is just annoying!
I don't want to loose my friend, which apparently is going to happen anyway, but right now I'm just angry!

Anyway, weight went down a tiny bit to 127.6. Would be nice if it was even less tomorrow. So far, had only oatmeal, am planning to have just veggies later.

  1. Ugh, I hate that situation. And yeah, it'd be convenient if you liked him, until his controlling / easily-manipulated side rared its ugly head.

    Your intake looks fantastic :)
