It’s funny how sometimes the one person you have turned to in the past with issues and problems becomes the one person you never expected them to be.

I have this friend who has been there for me through some stuff in the past few years.  He knows things about me, that most of my other friends have never known.  I can talk to him about almost anything.  So, when we went to San Francisco together, I never expected anything odd to happen.  We ended up holding hands on the plane, then walking hand in hand on the pier.  It felt nice and right, but internally I was fighting the feelings.  The reason is because I didn’t want us to ruin this great friendship we had developed.  We came home and slipped back into our normal routines.

That’s when the odd things with me began to happen.  He was always there in my mind.  I started dreaming about him, nothing crazy mind you, just little silly things.. like holding hands and laughing together.  Then I was working one day, and he was off… and it hit me.. I missed him.  That’s when it really hit me.  Maybe I liked him more than I thought.  Well, I went over and watched movies with him, and we sat there side by side and held hands, and he walked me out, and that’s when I sat down and talked to him.  I wanted to know what was going on in that head of his, and needed to tell him what was happening in mine.  So, we talked, and then he kissed me goodnight.

He took me to dinner on Monday, and we went back to his place and watched a movie, and held hands, and he kissed me goodnight.. then last night, we made it official and now we are dating.  I have this little giddy feeling inside, because we don’t have all the awkwardness, because we already know each other.  I’m not saying I’m in love.. I am far from that, but he makes me smile, and laugh, and giggle.  He is sweet, and my kids like him, and he is a great person with a good head on his shoulders.

So, here I am.. In a relationship with one of my best friends and hoping that we don’t break each other’s hearts.
