Okay, so here's the deal.
I had this friend in high school. She is a year younger than me, and when I was a junior and she was a sophomore, well, I totally fell for her (I am bisexual, just to clarify) and she (bisexual too) liked me too, but we never got anywhere. It just kind of didn't happen at that juncture of life.
I'm 20 now, and she's 19. Well, I hadn't seen her for a couple years until recently. And now she is married (for over a year!) and expecting a baby in about 4 weeks! She came into the restaurant I work at and we talked and talked and exchanged info and such.
Well, we've both been kind of shy about actually getting together, etc. (you know how that goes) but last week I was texting her and I said that I didn't want to seem weird/creepy but that I really want to be friends with her again, and she replied to me that she would love to, and about how her husband works a lot and she's lonely. Broke my heart.
But a week later, even though I've been texting to try to make definite plans to get together, we haven't.
Okay, so the real trouble? As soon as I saw her and talked to her, I remembered why I liked her. I was taken back. She was one who got away. And now I kind of have a crush on her again... and she's married and expecting a baby. And I feel 16 again. It's not like that was a long time ago, but still. Sigh.
I don't know, maybe it's a "friend crush." But... well, I need a spread. A good, specific, telling one.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm willing to answer any clarifying questions.
Thanks so much!
