Anna and I...
So Anna and I went for a long walk last Saturday. We spent all day walking and talking about our respective love lives and how she's a cat person (even though she's allergic) and I'm a dog person and about a million other things.
Anyway I tell my mom about this walk and she asks me if I'm going to convert for Anna.
I had a coworker ask me which girl I am actually going after.
And today I had a coworker tell me that I should date Anna.
First off, Molly, before you freak out neither Anna nor I have any intention of dating the other one. And I see why people get the impression that we could be dating but our relationship just isn't like that and it would never work out even if our relationship were to change.
So I'm amused, Anna is amused, and hopefully now you all are amused too.
I guess I do have a small bit of social commentary to go along with this post: Why is it that people have such a problem with a girl and a guy just being friends? Why do they all seem to insist that just because we spend time together and like the other person's company therefore we would (and should) make a good couple?

it's the When Harry Met Sally thing. I don't get it. I never liked that movie as much as other people did.
Eh... let them think what they want. As long as the two of you are clear, who cares? :-P Enjoy the friendship... those are valuable relationships to have, guy or girl.
Thanks Sarah. It's really super nice for me to have someone translate "boy" every once in a while. Especially when it's "Aggie Boy" which is a whole different cut of humanity.
I thought that the entry was pretty clear... didn't realize it needed to be translated.
And I am enjoying the friendship... just amused by the assumptions people make.
