In my 8 years of dating I have never been "friends" with an ex, or even a boy I liked. Even more recently, when my ex of three-years decided to dump me for an "older' woman, I have shut down his attempts at salvaging a friendship with me. There is no such thing as being just friends (especially after being cheated on). and this article convinced me that attempting any type of friendship with a romantic interest is like a slow-motion execution. But all that changed since i met S..
S was like a brief fling ( that didn't involve sex). He and I met in January in our IT class, and after about a month, he asked me out. I never knew how he had felt about me, but from his attempts to convince me (while drunk) how certain he was we would be a great couple together. I accepted.
It was romantic (?) how he went about asking me out, almost unconventional. One of those Fridays when a few friends from class decided to get-together and go play billiards, S., decided to get himself completely wasted on beer and hard liquor. Never mind that he was Muslim, and that he was a chain-smoker, but he felt that liquid courage was the sort of thing that would win a girl like me. Well, he was right. And at the end of the night, he convinced me enough on the subway ride home that we would work out.
But we didn't.
After one Friday night out with friends, and us making out in the lobby of my apartment, I ran my mouth and said something that made him reconsider ever having a relationship with me. And yes, he did say we could be "friends".
And now, because he still wanted us to be friends, I have to endure seeing him in class everyday and pretend nothing ever happened between us. Do I want to be friends? Yes and no.
Yes, because for some stupid uncontrollable reason I developed feelings for him. No, because being friend-zoned is one of the most horrible feelings on this planet.
