Now don't get me wrong.... I LOVE my friends! They are the best group of people a gal can have. We are all different and I think that is what makes us all click. But when I think about us as a group it is mostly couples. There are very few of us who are single. And when I look at the ones that are single I wonder sometimes if it would work if I ever dated one of them.
I have one in particular that I put a lot of thought into this question. He has been my friend for over 20 years so why not right? But as a single mom I can't just put myself out there to date just any body. Even if I am not looking for a my next soul mate, I have to watch who I bring into my kids lives. Now don't get me wrong this guy is great... okay good. But he is not someone I see taking my son to a baseball practice and staying to help out. (Actually I think my kids scare him).
I think what made me start looking at him in a different way was when Ally got sick. He called or texted EVERY day for 2 weeks to see how she was. Ally's own dad called twice in 2 weeks. And at that moment I wondered if there could be something more. But when I made myself sit down and think about it... all we will be is friends.
But he is my friend and I thank God every day that he managed to come back into my life (we lost contact for 13 years). Now we found each other again and I am working on repair the damage I did by not speaking to him while I was married. And slowly he is letting me in his life and telling me bits and pieces of what I missed. And now that he is back I hope I am able to keep him in my life as my friend for the next 20 plus years. No matter who either one of us dates or marries.
