I am definitely aware of the dangers of being friends with him, espcially since we've never actually BEEN friends before. But I think the distance (and Tamar) will help us maintain boundaries and learn how to be involved in each others' lives without being involve with each other. I do miss his friendship and his conversation and the fun non-romantic things we did together, so I'm really looking forward to rebuilding that. Hopefully I won't fall into the fire.
But if I start to, you have to tell me I'm doing it. :-P
