My friend from high school Bill,just recently came to Arizona from Washington to pay me a visit. It was so nice to see him, since I haven't seen him for about 5 years. We would often talk on the phone about what was going on in our lives, and to talk about the people that we date, and things like that. Bill is a very sweet guyand I have always had a thing for him but was always afraid to tell him. I never really told him just exactly how deep in my heart he really was. I was afraid since we have been good friends for so long that if it didn't work out romantically, that I would end up losing him as a friend as well. That really scared me. I never wanted to just have a fling with him and have that ruin such a beautiful relationship.
I have used a dating service in the past and it was a good experience, but never really found someone who I stayed with for more than a year. After a break-up, I would throw myself into work to lessen the pain and depression of the break-up. Then eventually I would use another dating service and the cycle would repeat itself. So for the past 5 years or so, since I used my first dating service, I had done it about 4 times. I guess you could say that I got a little discouraged in it.
Then Bill comes along and he visits me and there was something about this visit that was different from all the other visits. At first he seemed like that he was interested in me romantically without really coming out and saying it. So I couldn't stand it anymore, I had to get my feelings out this time. I couldn't keep it bottled up inside any longer. So I told him how I felt, just laid it all out onto the table. Of course, I was scared to death, but it had to be done.
He had told me that since the past few years he had used adating serviceas well, but nothing serious came out of it, just like my experience with it. And the shocking truth came out. He had felt the same way about me this whole time as I felt about him. I should have told him long ago, we could have been together all this time, butbetter late than never.
