See? That's the way it happens. One possibility goes POOF and then the next thing you know, you're looking at a guy whose smile makes you wither. LOL. You're right about the friend thing. My ex-boyfriend is one of my closest friends. We were a disaster as a couple, but we're wonderful friends and he's so dear to me.

I don't know what movie me and the new guy are going to see. I have the flu right now -- trying to struggle through a ridiculously busy week at work while feeling sick, so I don't know if I'll be up for anything this weekend. We both like foreign films and indie stuff and there's an arthouse cinema across the street from my place, so I hope there will be something good playing there next week.

The e-mails? He was just giving me sympathy about being sick and we were cracking each other up about work stuff. He is in my former job right now so I can relate to all the irritating stuff he is having to put up with. It seems to be starting off quite nicely.

I'm still overthinking things. Still afraid I might scare the crap out of him, but we'll see what happens. He's so shy and sweet and I'm SO chatty and so social and quite sarcastic and kind of larger than life in my personality, so I'm hoping I don't freak him out. They sometimes say that opposites attract though, right?
