Remember my friend who suggested she visit me on my birthday last year then said that she wasn't looking for anything romantic (with anyone)?

Posted by Tim (aka othertim) Apr 27 '12, 11:20

She e-mailed me this a few weeks ago.

-----------------------------------
I feel really weird writing you an email about this, but we haven't been crossing paths lately online as we usually do and there's something I have to tell you.

I'm seeing someone. In the dating sense, because I obviously have eyesight. His name is Tom. We met online through Match.com. I opened up an account kinda because I felt like I probably should try dating a little to see what it was like. I talked to a couple guys. It went nowhere. I stopped doing anything with it, then he emailed me a few days before it expired, and I figured why not because he seemed nice.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I didn't exactly want to kick you while you were already down.

You may be thinking, "But you told me you didn't want to date!" Well, I really didn't. Like I said, I opened a Match.com account kind of in a way to make sure (and thinking maybe I was being a little too grumpy about the whole dating thing). And, another thing. I don't think we'd ever work out in a dating sense, Timbo. I don't think our personalities combined would work so well in that kind of relationship. Friends? Of course. Dating? Ehhhh....not sure. After being friends for so long, it really doesn't seem like a transition to a romantic relationship would be something I'd be comfortable doing. It's almost like...I dunno...I know too much about you. Not sure if that makes sense or not.

----------------------------------------

Ohhh, so it's "I guess I did want to date, I just didn't want to date you." Great.
