I never was attracted to him physically.  Yet what makes me overcome the superficial appearances is the fact that I could talk to him.  It\\&#8217;s a rare asset that a person has to do this.  Typically, one who is already attached does not spend hours talking to someone of the opposite gender.  I am just not used to it.<\/p>\n<p>And as a result, I don\\&#8217;t want to let this go.  I want a friendship.  For the longest time, I have been yearning a friendship that is without strings, but with depth.  But as a result, I accidentally got my emotions involved.  And even when I tell him that it\\&#8217;s ok and tell him that I feel fine about it, later I get this awful lump inside me.  A lump of disappointment and broken hope.<\/p>\n<p>Why did he have to say, \\&#8221;If I didn\\&#8217;t have a gf, then I would be interested.\\&#8221;  That\\&#8217;s worse than being cold.  Why are you so nice?

Life changes in one second.  Emotions change in one minute.  But friendships like this can really happen in one week.<\/p>\n<p>I like talking to him, let\\&#8217;s not forget that.
