Yesterday... what an emotional day.
I got a call from a guy I work with who I've been friends with since the day I started. I hadn't seen him in a week and a half, and yesterday I realized this fact. I promptly checked the schedule and, lo and behold, his name wasn't on it anymore
! That really, really bummed me out, though I knew that he was going to quit eventually (he was in the process of getting a better job), but I didn't know that it would be so soon. I'd given him my number a month ago, but he never called me. Now with him being gone from work, I was sure I'd never hear from him again.
But he called me yesterday to tell me what was going on. We talked for three hours. This guy, I have no interest in him romantically (especially since I already have a very very serious boyfriend), but I have been VERY interested in being better friends with him. Have you ever met someone that you feel is nearly a mirror image of yourself? That's what this guy's like. I feel like I've known him my entire life, and I feel close to him even though I've only known him for a month and a half. It's completely bizarre, but I feel like he could really become one of the best friends I've ever had.
Why am I saying all this? I have no clue. I just, for some reason, felt compelled to share and wondered if anyone else has ever had a similar experience.
