    Hm. On a related note I actually just realized that I care enough about her that I would feel bad subjecting her to my terrible habits, tendencies, and lifestyle. Weird that's a new one for me I think. So yes, silence will be golden. We will meet as usual and spend our awkward time together wondering "what if. . ."

    and then i'll get back to the booze and one night stands.

    That's even more selfish than leading her on!

    Yes I know but it's the sweet selfish status quo which makes things incredibly easy for me except for these occasional bouts of guilt.

    If she was that type of girl I could just make this into a nice physical thing and that'd be the end of it but oh no some folks have emotions and desires and standards and principles.

    Is it that hard to say: "Look, im sorry i was an ass before, i shouldn't of ___. Your a good girl and i enjoy hanging out with you. That said, i don't have any aspirations for a relationship with you but i hope we can stay friends."

    That wouldn't screw things up would it?

    Would it?

    In my experience, these statements have screwed things up if made in an otherwise carefree relationship. There's a risk that it provokes a level of thought and awkwardness that isn't there right now; for all we know, the girl in question hasn't had more than a passing thought about her past with DUE in the past few years. If DUE brought it up, then, it can create the impression that he's a dweller, or insecure about something else, or ... well, the point is, it can make people ask questions.

    Sometimes it's better to just keep things carefree.

    Assuming things are carefree now. Which on DUE's side they are clearly not. It's up to DUE to decide whether he feels they are or are not on her side.

    If they're friends, I just doubt this would completely screw it up. I get your point, Oboro, of injecting doubt and uncertainty into their currently amiable relationship, but the alternative might just be worse. Not that either choice is actually all that bad at all. But even though neither are all that bad, there's still going to be a worse one.

    It's not a carefree situation exactly. It's awkward and difficult to explain. Um like I was sleeping with her friend and she brought up the whole "why didn't you ever date X, she's liked you forever" and it's just like. . .what the fuck I don't know.

    Look, all I'm saying is that when I said this to Amanda, it killed the friendship for three months straight. We worked through it -- by simply dismissing that kind of shit, and realizing we didn't care about having a relationship with that kind of srsbsns depth to it -- but it still meant we both lost our best friend for a while.

    Yeah i definately wouldn't sugest this in a non-awkward relationship.

    However, from what i've heard, their relationship seems as awkward as it can get.
    Saying something like this would just get their feelings out in the open rather than being constantly guessed at.

    I kind of feels like an all or nothing call. Saying it could either help things along or totally fuck it up. I don't see there being any middle ground.

    Well, 'best' is sort of a comparative term, so as long as you have any friends, one is bound by the nature of the universe to be objectively the "best" friend of 'em all.

    Eh, I think of "best friend" is a more specific noun with two words. I have acquaintances, then I have friends, and then I have a best friend who is in a completely different class of friend, someone I trust infinitely, you know?

    I mean, just because you lose your best friend doesn't mean your next-closest friend can necessarily fill that void in any way, shape, or form.
