So this girl I've known for a while and I are talking. We hung out a lot in highschool, she had a bf at the time.In 11th grade we got lunch almost every day. I remember one time someone asked if she was my girl, and she said yes before I could say no. Our senior year, back in 2008, was the last time I actually saw her.
We started talking again recently. Sporadic, mostly over facebook and texts every now and then. A week ago, she was talking about how she just opted out of a relationship with a guy because she didn't want to do anything long distance right now. I then brought up how after everything I'd just been through, I'm taking myself off of the market for a bit.
Then the topic randomly changed to "The First 48" and SVU. We're both addicted.
I said we should get a bunch of junk food and watch a marathon of First 48/SVU all night. She said if it's McD's or BK, she's in. McNugget madness as I call it. She says "yesssss ". So she's going to find out when she has some free time, and is gonna pick a night for us to do this. Probably in a week or so.
Now it did not occur to me until after she went to bed, that us getting junk food and doing this is sort of a date. And that by her agreeing and being... quite enthusiastic, that there's a possibility for something here.
Which I find odd considering we would be LD when she's away at college (until June). But I'm not sure why it fell through with the other guy, don't think he has a car. *shrug*
Anyways, I've always felt that there was chemistry here. So you'd think I'd be thrilled about everything, right?
Of course not.
I keep worrying that this whole thing is purely platonic. I'm not expecting to hit the ground running, but I DO like her. And I'd like for his to go somewhere. I'm not counting on anything. I'm essentially going to play it by ear and take any opportunities that I see.
But, I guess what I'm asking is, do you guys thing that there's some potential here? Or am I reading too far into this and am firmly lodged in the friend zone?
