Do you ever say anything to a friend, and instantly wish you hadn't said it? I mentioned something about C. to my best friend, and while it was in no way malicious, it could be misinterpreted. Now I worry that he'll blurt it out to her, and I'll be forced to explain something that will almost certainly be taken out of context.
I don't know what to do. I desperately want to go on being her friend, but in all likelihood, I desperately want to explore a relationship with her just a little more. Of course, we know she's not ready for a relationship, and with good reason. So now I wait. Which wouldn't be so bad if I knew that I was at least waiting for the outcome I seek. But now I live terrified of going out to beers one night and hearing about the guy she just met, and that swept her off her feet. And as a friend, I have no right to get upset, but I will. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you ruin a wonderful friendship.
