Purely platonic

The New Guy, The Old Guy? He texted me late on New Years' Eve. I was working. He was drunk. I didn't want to work, but now that I'm relationshipped, since the Boyfriend was working, it wasn't that big of a deal. So I worked.

(But it still came to mind for a moment that if not for the relationship, I wouldn't be working, I would be with The New/Old Guy. Drunk with him. At midnight, kissing him.)

So it seems that yes, we do need some time before we can be just friends. It is strange territory, you know. Going from a state of undress to a state of pure friendship. "Pure" was a strange word choice, no? Nothing is pure about it thus far. Well. I'm trying. Clearly we are going to need more time.
