TheZebra Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Ok, I totally don't know how to approach this situation, or if it's even worth it. Really need opinions here. Basically, I met this guy my last semester of college (This was 2 years ago). We sat next to each other in class and we rarely talked. One time it was raining really bad and we shared an umbrella back to the main campus and chatted a bit, but that's it. At that point in my life I had a boyfriend that I had already been dating for nearly 4 years and a job in the horizon, so I only saw him as a cute guy and that's it. I had my life structured and set (or so I thought, haha how cocky I was). We're friends on Facebook, but we never really interact. The sad thing is, we share a lot of stuff in common and I find myself liking a lot of his statuses; even more recently. But like I said, we don't talk or anything; we were never actual friends, just acquaintances. Ready for the bigger kicker? He doesn't even live in the same state I do. Try about 1000 miles away, or across the US if it helps the imagery. I don't have a crush on this guy or anything, I just find myself having a lot more stuff in common with him than any other guy I've met recently. If anything, I'd at least like to be friends with him... who knows, maybe it can blossom into more if either of us ever moves, or visits, whatever. Is it even worth it to try to make that jump from acquaintance to friend (to maybe more)? How would I even do that anyway? We don't really share friends in common, just to make it harder. What would you do, LS?
todreaminblue Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I have a really strong feeling that to really get to know someone well, you have to share physical space......messaging phone calls and writing are fine but to truly know someone.....takes time and breathing the same airspace.........to build a friendship though, what another poster said and opening the messaging on face book maybe, texting normal forms of contact......later on after you talk about those common interests and feel a definite connection, planning a visit...maybe a half way meet thing......where you could spend the day together doing something you mutually enjoy.....i wish you luck and happy trekkin...deb......
