The Foot In My Mouth

The last time I was single (in the half of this past year) I met a few new women, who I was subtly checking out. I was taking it slow, just getting to know these women as friends... but then I got hooked up with my ex, C as soon as summer hit.

Anyway, now that I'm single again, I thought I would reconnect with these women and just hang out. Well, I really enjoy the company of one of them in particular, and I think we could be great friends. We get along great, we have similar backgrounds, and are in a similar stage of life. It also helps that she's really easy on the eyes. Unfortunately, when we met up last, I stupidly blurted this out:

"Yeah, I thought you were gorgeous when I first met you, but I think we'd make better friends than anything else."

I had NO CLUE where that came from. I am such an absolute idiot. I just put myself in the "friend zone" with this girl. The worst part is that she completely agreed with me on the platonic status of our relationship.

I guess it's for the best anyway. I mean, I don't want a relationship right now. I just need to not label things so publically next time.

Sigh.
