hiddenmuseYeah. In a prior entry, I talked about the guy I liked and how I was preferring to hold him at an "emotional distance" in my mind by regarding him as a crush?... Turns out that it may have been a smart move on my part, because I just found out from him (in person, thankfully - because he's not a jerk) that he's started dating someone.
And oddly enough, I'm okay with it. Not just because I don't have to worry over the whole "great! now there's no worry over feeling like I'll be pushed out of the cast if things get weird between us." (From a conversation I'd had with another cast member, he'd joined by way of a girlfriend at the time - and while their relationship had ended, he'd obviously stayed on cast and she must have left.) Or "I don't have to worry about losing a friend because things went beyond us making out/us becoming boyfriend-girlfriend/whatever".
Besides, we'd talked in the beginning about what we wanted from a relationship - and while we had similar intentions, the geography just doesn't work out the best for anything beyond the occasional hanging out and seeing each other at Rocky Horror. So we're better as friends. Talking about music, movies, our jobs and life in general.
Honestly, I'd rather have friends right now. Much more fun and far less complicated.
