I've learned that sometimes life and love don't cooperate. Like I was going out with this girl and I dumped her. I liked this other girl last year but I was afraid to ask her out. Now, I asked her out. After long consideration, she said yes. We went out for a couple of hours and while we were talking, I realized that she was uncomfortable with the whole "going out" thing. There are three things in the world I hate most. One, making people wait or made being wait myself. Two, pushing people to doing something they don't want to. Three, not thinking ahead. Following rule number 2, she and I had a whole conversation. So in the end, I just said "Okay. Don't consider me your boyfriend, but more of a special, cool friend." So now we're not bf/gf anymore, but we are still really good friends. Sure, I sometimes wish that fate allowed us to be bf/gf but what can you do? If you really like the other person, do what is best for them. So think about it. Sometimes, love just complicates everything. Friendship is sometimes the better way.
