Re: Going out with a friend

[(Anonymous)]

Yes. We had a good-sized time gap between the "asking out" and the date itself, too, since at the time, we weren't in the same city and he was more like a family friend who'd crash on my couch a couple times a year during business trips (he was close friends with one of my siblings first; we had hung out, but talked about and done absolutely nothing outside the realm of friendship until he asked me out). So the time elapsed from when he first asked me out, via chat (I felt and responded similarly to you then, since I was looking to move for school within the next year), to the time we actually went out was something like 9 months (although I decided to ask him if he was still interested after a few months).

We're married now, but even knowing what we did about each other going into it, I think dating cast a very different light on each other for both of us. There was a good deal of mental re-arrangement, at least on my part, about what each of us wanted, were able to give, and expected from each other in this different relationship. But I think our initial friendship helped us be both more upfront and at ease at explaining uncertainties or stumbling blocks we had while dating, as well. Though I will say our first date, where we did "date things" -- dress up, dinner, movie, etc., in a part of town neither of us had really gone to before -- was kind of awkward and didn't really become relaxed until we got back to more familiar haunts and conversation. Also, he apparently wasn't sure by the time it rolled around if that day was actually "the" date, or just another visit... Incidentally, our first date was also about a month before I moved for school, even further from where he lived. And even though it worked out, the two of us really had to have patience and work at and through things, so I definitely understand your nixing the timing for your move.

So, uh, hopefully that's of some help? At any rate, good luck with your move and new job!
