I never had a pen pal but I would love to back then. I hardly ever wrote expect to me cousin from time to time. I missed writing to him. He lives her in Sweetwater somewhere.Now thats would be fun. Mine would have to be a girl and the age be 22 or 21. I could then go out show her what we do here and then **** this girl off that I've been wanted to go out but she keeps telling me no.

Then just forget about her and move on. I wouldn't wait on someone to start dating, and I wouldn't date someone in order to make someone else feel bad because it's likely she doesn't give a hoot enough to worry about it if she keeps telling you no. Just forget about her and move on. Not worth the worry.

I had a girl once that I was friends with and all was superbly good, and I discussed moving further in the relationship, but she said, "I don't date friends." I said, "So, what then? You'll date a stranger? At least you know we have much in common!" This was even after I had taken care of her for 3 days while she was sick. She said again, "I don't date friends, and I hope this doesn't come between our friendship." I said, "Nah, it's fine."

Well, I started seeing other gals, and she got totally miffed about it and called me screaming in the phone and hung up on me. Apparently, I was a horrible friend for not discussing my private/dating life with her and for "settling" for just "any ol' girl." This was one of those "wants the cake and icing, too" deals.

When you like your friends more than friends thats when it is so much more complicated and can be much more painful too!

I dunno. I don't ever remember that it bothered me, but angered me that she felt like I owed her explanations and she turned me down.

Heh heh. "Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em!"

(Wonders if I'll get blasted for that HA HA!!)

Yeah that would make me angry too. She doesnt want you but she doesnt want anyone else to have you either!

Its only painful when you have a good friend then you realise you really like her, and you're scared it could ruin the friendship.

That's why we have "secret admirers" in the world. Drop hints from a secret admirer, that it's a super good friend who wants to go further, and she'll make mention on the side about it and what she thinks about it, then you can know if you wanna pursue it or not.
