That's a good idea, you probably just need a good ol' Rodgerin' more than anything else to lift your spirits. While this is true, I can't quite do the casual sex thing. That actually leads to an incredible bombing in the self-esteem department.

Update:
Okay, we went to the bball game. Did not see Ron or BTR (though it appears as though I wasn't too far behind Ron).
Nice guy...easy to talk to, conversation was fine (though I tend to not talk a lot at sporting events because I focus on the game). There were a couple of things that bothered me...we work for the same company, and he actually worked on my project before I was on it (different roles) and he criticized some of our standards that I very much believe in. He also sort of had one of those "why would you want to do that?" moments when I told him about my now-changed vacation plans to visit Virginia Beach/Williamsburg/Outer Banks this summer ("I grew up on the beach, so I guess I don't get why someone would choose to go there"). Not really a deal breaker, but it's a bit of an indicator of snootiness (I've had my snooty moments over the years and I try to control it when I realize what I'm doing). It's not an attractive trait.
And now on to the superficial part. Those of you who have met me know that I'm not exactly petite. He's a big guy. Not a little husky (I like husky, actually...no fear of breaking him)...but easily 3 bills, probably more. Not proportional. I couldn't figure out the logistics of...you know. I don't like that this is bothering me...I try to be more accepting of people in general...but at no time did I have the "oh my gosh, I want to kiss him" moment. Not even a "yeah, I suppose I'd go for it if he went for the lean-in" moment.
In other news, my guy friend who told me he loved me last fall (he had been drinking, and I have a general rule of not to believe anybody, particularly guys, when booze is involved)...he texted me around 11:30 Friday night, wishing me a happy almost Valentine's Day.

Kind of off subject, but I lived in Newport News, VA and worked in Norfolk there Germaine, if you need any ideas or tips on the area let me know. Off the top of my head, make sure you go to Busch Gardens and Water Country in Williamsburg. If you don't want the tours, you can actually park near Colonial Williamsburg and walk around and see the sights. Va Beach has a pretty good Aquarium. If you like museums, the Mariners Museum in Newport News is actually pretty good. Go see the Sports Hall of Fame in Portsmouth and go get a bite to eat at Roger Browns just down the street. Not sure of the dates, but Downtown Norfolk has Harborfest, pretty cool time. Obviously the beach in Virginia Beach is pretty good, but if you want some privacy there is a beach called Chicks Beach not to far away. Be sure to check out WNOR in the morning at FM 99.7. They come up with some pretty hysterical stuff. The Fox at 105.7 is also pretty good for classic rock. Finally there is a great restuarant called the Azalea Garden Inn off Little Creek Rd in Norfolk. Good greek and american cuisine. If interested, golf is pretty good in Va Beach and the surrounding areas. The area is easy to get around once you figure out the 64's. That is I-64, I-264, I-464 and I-664. Last but not least, the outer banks are about 4 hours away and worth the drive. But remember on weekends it can be a much longer drive. You should be stoked, pretty cool area. Oh yeah, DC is about 3.5 hours from Williamsburg. I miss the area a lot.

Not even a "yeah, I suppose I'd go for it if he went for the lean-in" moment. You have to be somewhat superficial, and don't feel bad for it. You can't have a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship without attraction. It's as simple as that. If you're not attracted to him...well, keep on fishing! Doesn't mean you can't gain a friend out of it, though. Just make sure if you do go the 'friend' route, he knows it.

Speaking from experience, I have told a couple lies when I was drunk, however it has also given me the courage to say somethings that I would never say to someone sober because of nerves. Not knowing a lot about the situation since you were already friends I would be willing to guess that your friend actually might have feelings for you, and the happy V-Day text doesn't do anything but back up that thought. I could be way off and speaking out of my ass but I wouldn't doubt that is the case. Do you like him?

You weren't attracted to the fool. Don't worry about it. He could look the way he does and you could still be attracted to him if he had other redeeming qualities, which it sounds like he does not in your eyes (at least enough). That's how life and this pheromone bullshit works out. Next...

And I have no doubt he'd crush me should something happen and then end.

In our case it was well worth taking the leap and putting our friendship on the line. One of three things can happen: 1. You will lose a friend 2. It doesn't work out and you stay friends 3. It works and he's the guy.

I don't think he's "the" guy...like I said, we're opposites. I'm not even sure he's the marrying kind. He can go out all night and live it up, I can hardly make it to midnight. He can get pretty much any woman he wants, I've minimized my number of partners. So on and so forth.
But there is something that draws me in nonetheless.

I think he was going for that you might be putting too much pressure on what would happen if things didn't work out with the guy that is your total opposite or any relationship for that matter. At least that is how I took it. ;D
