[quote]"This will sound like I'm friendzon-" "I mean, I friend zoned myself." I don't regret many things in life, this conversation is not one of them, however there are a few things I wish I could change. Starting at the beginning. "Hey Sol, we need to talk." "What about?" "I think you already know." *she gulps* "yeah" "I just want to preface this with this. I didn't want this to happen. I know you have a boyfriend and all, But over the few months I've known you, I've developed feelings for you. I promise you are not some weird rebound. That already happened. However, sometimes the heart grows a mind of its own and gets a terrible idea." I paused for a moment "I didn't mean to come between you and your boyfriend. Im not a home wrecker nor do I desire to be one. I'm sorry if this made your life awkward, but I do not regret a thing. You in a lot of ways gave me something to cling to and gave me a desire to work again. I thank you for that." I continued to ramble for close to forty-five minutes. She said she knew because someone told her, but never did anything because she knew she was safe with me. She said some nice things about me, I forget them because of the stress of conversation in general. I have an eidetic memory, but stress always has a funky way of screwing it up. As we climbed into our cars, I thanked her for not laughing at me. When I got home I texted her telling her that once again, I was sorry for the awkward spot I put her in. I also told her she could tell who ever she wanted about the whole thing. She responded with. "HoTh you really are a great guy and I'm so flattered that you saw something in me that you liked because you're awesome!! you really will make some lady very happy someday☺️ Also: im sorry I aways asked you to bring out my mobile orders...... I was always kidding and would've happily taken them out, but you're just too kind!!! You're such a great friend and I wouldn't trade anything in the world for the time we got to work together and become closer!! So happy I got to learn from your exemplary leadership these past 4 ish months and I really will miss you at work and the instant joy you brought to every sing person working. YOU ARE THE BEST HOTHHHH also feel free to come party it up with me and (another mutual friend) next year 🤣🤣" I regret not asking her how she felt about all of it, that ambiguity probably allowed this to continue developing I was hoping that it would end with that and I would be able to move on with my life undisturbed, but the rest of the weekend followed and after that... well. things got more complicated [/quote]
