I got a good laugh out of this.

I've got a friend who is really cute. Every time she has a problem, she comes running to me (mostly on the phone). I've helped talk her through a few the past few months (her ex-boyfriend being a total ass, having an anxiety attack, venting about her parents). On average, she calls me about once a day, unless she's out of town or busy. It's kinda nice being needed by someone attractive.

So yesterday, in the middle of her anxiety attack, she calls me because "Rob's the only one who can calm me down by talking to me." In the middle of all this her mom walks into her room and starts talking to her. Her mom asked who she keeps calling whenever she needs help. She tells her that "it's my best friend, Rob." Her mom then asks why didn't we go out if I'm always the one she goes to for anything. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to date her, but she lives back home during the school year and in Houston during the summer months. The logistics just wouldn't work out. That and sex does change a relationship more than you'd expect. No matter how good it is, you'll never be able to go back to being "just friends." Then again friends with benefits is a great idea.

Peace!
