or spooje falls in love with his best friend.
For the past several months, I have been involved in an intense romantic, sexual relationship. With a woman I have been close friends with for almost 14 years. A woman who knows me better than probably anyone else on the planet. Who doesn’t seem to mind my social awkwardness or sexual ineptness!!
It’s really been great. Turns out both of us have often thought of hooking up with the other over the years, but neither of us wanted to risk the friendship. (When we first met, she was seeing someone and I was just coming out of a nasty break-up). It was weird at first. The rules were different. We already knew each other, so we couldn’t play any kind of games that you normally play in a new relationship. Weird, but in a good way. 
Only problem is that she lives a good distance away. I see her often since she comes to the LA area on business a lot. But she’s leaving that job in a couple of months to go to Boston to pursue her PhD at Brandeis University. We’ve talked about it, and about how we want to keep this going. It’ll be tough, especially on the wallet. Unless I win the lottery. It could happen.
So you have fair warning. I will annoy you all with updates and occaisional whining as events warrant.
