Friends of friends
Ever had that thing when you think someone is funny and intelligent, and then you meet the people they think are funny and intelligent and oops -
I'm still buddies with a bloke I dated for a short while and the other day we got together for drinks, he was really keen for me to meet the current lady because he knew we'd get on like a house on fire.
Well, I don't know why he ever dated me, is all I can say, because if ever someone was my polar opposite, she is
Ever had that? Unnerving, innit?

and dating women that reminds him of you
any chance could he of been looking to see if you'd get jealous?
Pedal, we've been friends for ages, dated for a couple of months when we were both getting over break-ups - not a conventional ex
Polar opposite indeed
I just pitty the poor guy to have had to sit between the two of you.
My ex-husband's squeeze is okay. I wouldn't want to be stuck in the same car for a long journey but I can see what he likes about her.
Seems like the rest of the time, when I talk to someone my friend thinks is wonderful, I not only can't understand what the same man could like in two such different women, I wonder what he had liked about me?
That's not just men, even. Sometimes happens with female friends, nothing to do with dating at all.
Z, I know you do!
Pedal, I think you do!
JJ and Non - haven't a clue. Have you?
I'm forever trying to see some benefits but it never happens,
Thats why I come to this virtual watering hole
So - does it ever occur to you to introduce two people you think will get on, and they absolutely loathe each other?
An idiot.
That's what I am.
I should never have said I dated the bloke. If I had said, let's see, a friend of mine invited me over for a drink and to meet a friend he / she thought I would like, and I didn't like that person at all - would that work?
knowheard of those type of relationshipsBeats sitting home alone feeling sorry for yourself. Wasn't QUITE like that, though
my cup of tea.
I was asking him about his new job and she sort of wound herself round him and said he was the most brilliant person the company had ever hired
I just said oh, right.
Go on, you guys would all love her wouldn't you
I don't have any reason not to.
We were friends before, friends during, neither of us did anything to hurt each other on purpose, it just didn't work out, so therefore we could be friendly afterwards.
But then I'm good ol' Fred, all too often. Not a bad bloke, considering I'm a girl.
I think those of us who actually like men as people can end up just being the friend rather than a potential partner. I used to be like that before, but somehow got out of that zone.
