I was debating about writing this post earlier today but I figured what the hell I might as well. You must be thinking okay and your point being? I had a chat with a friend recently that got me thinking about relationships again.
This isn’t anything new but it does go hand in hand with prior posts. You can read them here and here. As I’ve mentioned before I’m single but I tend to have friends who like to share relationships issues with me. I listen and give my opinion from my point of view.
The chat
the chat that brought this on was with a friend of mine. To make a very long-winded story short she once had a friend commented that they liked her. No harm in that right. I think many people have developed feelings for their friends. I can see that. In her case, however, the person followed up the message up with April Fools. So that threw her off.
During the course of my chat with her one evening, she told me that said friend had contacted her again. He hadn’t contacted her for some time. It wasn’t even anything out of the ordinary it was a basic Hello message.
What got me thinking
That being shared this got me thinking. It’s interesting to see someone get so excited about something as simple as a Hello. Granted we all can have our moments that lead us to wonder about having a new relationship. Or even what life would be like if you moved on from your current situation.
But I think in my friend’s case she just wanted to have clarification of her friends feelings. We had a few minutes of “Do you think he really likes me?” along with her thoughts on why he may have contacted her after a few years.
Are things really greener on the other side of the fence?
The latter part of my statement above got me to wondering again this morning. Everyone is allowed to have their what if or what could be moments. Like I said we are all allowed to fantasize of what a new relationship may bring.
I think everyone can get a little thrill out of being told they are admired or attractive to someone besides your current partner. Again there may be no harm in that yet it can be flirting with danger.
So is the grass always greener on the other side of the fence? I don’t know it may depend on the person and the situation. It may also depend on other factors as well.
I will admit I’m curious to see how this will play out. I think if it was an April fools joke it was a mean thing to do. But then again if her friend’s feelings are sincere it makes me wonder where things may lead.
Feel free to share your thoughts on the topic.
