A girl I really like, call her Venus for the heck of it, and have dated a few times wants to keep things as good friends for now, though I detect a hint of slipping from this stance. The problem is that she has a good friend who I also would be interested in dating. I don`t want to mess up their good friendship. Reflection: A couple years ago, my girlfriend broke up with me. My best friend decided that he wanted to see her now, after NUMEROUS times saying he`d never jeopardise our friendship by going out with her. The result was do to numerous reasons I lost my best friend to a girl who has turned into a real space cadet and can never patch up my old friendship So here I am, not wanting to mess up a friendship between Venus and Athena, (call them both godesses, why not), yet in doing so depriving myself of a possible good relationship. It`s not like I`m just waiting on Venus, I do take out Heln of Troy, Aphrodite, and Diana on occasion (just crazy about them goddesses). Comments, criticism welcome.
