I've realised that liking your best friend, is not that easy. Especially when your best friend has a girlfriend, is basically in love with his girlfriend, and doesn't see them breaking up, ever. I've learned that it's incredibly smart to try and make yourself get over that little crush as quick as possible. But I also know that it's not really hard to try and forget someone that you like, you know?
especially when they're your best friend.
I figured that I should try and get some help with this from some of my friends. I asked about four different people, and lucky for me, they all said the same thing. Too bad it wasn't what I wanted to hear. They all told me that I should stop talking to him so much. I mean, we don't talk a lot, but we talk enough. Obviously, enough for me to start liking him, right?
So I'm trying to get myself to stop liking him, but I don't want to stop talking to him. I've actually been talking to his roommate, who likes my other best friend, a lot more. He's really fun and easy to talk to as well, and that's good, because it's nice to have someone to talk to, when you need someone. They feel the same about me, I guess. I'm the resident advice-giver for our group of friends. XD
Anyway. So, that walk that I took with Mike last night, we actually ended up talking about how I can get over liking Paul. He told me that I should find a replacement. He was the odd answer out of everyone else that told me to stop talking to him. I mean, I understand why he said to find a replacement. He's a guy, he would say something like that. I mean, if you know Mike, you would understand, too.
At the time, I thought the idea was incredibly stupid. I mean, I know it would work, but what are the chances that I would find someone who would be a good replacement? Who says that I could just stop liking Paul and pick up liking someone else?
Mike does.
Honestly, I didn't believe that it was possible until this other kid from band started talking to me the day before yesterday. He just friended me on Facebook and we chatted on it for like an hour. And then last night, when I got back from my walk with Mike, he was on, and we chatted for a while again. I ended up adding him on AIM and we talked there, and then he texted me until I fell asleep. Same shit that went on with Paul, really.
And this kid--I'm going to refrain from saying his name for the time being--is really, really flirtatious with me. He talks about how I make him smile and how I'm funny and some other cute things like that, and he's just really flirty with me. He calls me flute girl, and then decided that he was going to start calling me Z instead, because Nicole is just too hard to remember, right? XD
I dunno. He's really nice, and he is cute and stuff, but I don't want anything to start this quickly. I hear Jaime's voice in my head telling me to make sure that I get to know the person for a month before I start anything. Like hell that's going to happen, really, but I've only talked to him once in a while.
But when I do talk to him, it's worth it. [:
