58.Friend

Two weeks after the best line of 2014, "that's enough for now," Fifty-eight and I finally saw each other and spent eight hours together walking around town, seeing a movie, dining, and meeting up with friends.  During the last twenty minutes of those eight hours I finally worked in the attempted make-out session into the conversation - apparently I can only go so long before my thoughts wrapped in mental straight jackets escape.  As we were walking back to my neighborhood at the end of our fun-filled day we were talking about our mutual friend who's boyfriend just got transferred to several states away, which led to the conversation of long-distance relationships.  Fifty-eight commented that timing is key when it comes to relationships, and that became my segue..."Yeah, timing is important; like when I wake you up in the middle of the night and ask if you want to kiss."  We both started laughing, and he said he was glad I said something about that night.  We came to the conclusion that neither of us are necessarily looking for something serious, and that he was caught off guard and didn't want to lead me on, but that we both like to kiss, and maybe one day we can kiss just for fun.  Once all of that was cleared up, I made fun of him about his reaction of "That's all for now."  Not that we were really nervous around each other before, but the next night when we met up for dinner and Motown we were definitely more relaxed.  I'm glad to know that we can still be friends, and that I don't have to worry about flirting or not flirting with other guys around him.
