What do you do when a neighbor stops by after you've resigned yourself to sleep and it's a neighbor you've always liked who has a lady friend who is older than he is but he is older than you are...and you sit talking for a long time and it clicks like it always has with him, then he kisses you and it's been a million years since you've kissed anyone, let alone letting somebody get that close and you say no I can't and he's very gentlemanly. Then I ask if he's going to tell his lady friend that he kissed me, when she gets back from her required few months in FL every year (lady friend has money, which I do not) and he hem haws around.
I liked being kissed. Like I said, it's been a million years. I like this guy. Always have since I met him. But why would someone want to be with me when they have a really nice lady friend to hang out with? I'm not a picnic. Did he think I was just going to give him some? Or does he like me?
I can't trust my feelings, where like is concerned. I will go with the fact that he was uncharacteristically forward. We'll still be fine as friends and neighbors. He's not a big drinker and he had some beers, so maybe that's it.
