Blowin' in the Wind

...Which one wins for you?

I try very hard to keep a healthy balance of the two, but it's super hard!

I'm talking to a good friend, and the subject comes up. A person she works with asked her on a date last night. They have been good friends as long as they've known each other, and recently she suspected he might want more than that. She made a plan - he asked her out, she said no. Simple plan. Unraveled plan. She voiced her concerns (dating a coworker, having to keep it secret, messing up a friendship), and he just asked her to think about it. So, of course, she has been.

I asked her if she is attracted to him and she said yes. And I know she likes spending time with him. To me, that only makes sense that they should at least try dating out & see what happens. To her, the fact that they work together and it's a "bad idea" outweighs any of that.

I decided it's probably better to be rational all the time than emotional all the time, but obviously neither one is going to be ideal...When should you let one or the other win?

The game of phone tag ended last night, and it ended with a bang. I had a 3 1/2 hour long phone conversation with Morning, and I enjoyed at least 3 hours of it. :D The last 30 minutes I was pretty much half asleep.

I was informed that my blasphemous ways (I've never seen a Star Wars movie) must soon be remedied, so besides the dive bar crawl I think we have tentative plans to hang out. That shall be the ultimate test. I will say that there are very few people I can talk to on the phone for that long, so maybe that's a good sign. At the least I feel like we could be extremely good friends. We talked a bit about coworker dating, and I feel like he was all over the map with that, so I don't know his stance for sure. I guess I'll find out!

Ultimately, I have decided that those numbers mean nothing to me. It's a conclusion I was pretty sure I would draw anyway, but it's official now.

He has decided that I need to watch Star Wars, several Star Wars spoofs/remakes, Harlem Nights, and Smallville.

I have decided that he needs to watch Pi, Requiem for a Dream, Planet Earth, and I'm trying to think of more... Suggestions?
