Is he a friend...or a convenience?
What's a convenience?
Situation details:
[spoiler]We go to the same church and we've both attended it all our lives. That means we see each other about once a week. Our church is currently trying to start a HS graduate-20-something class, but the effort's not amazingly productive or anything. There's me, this guy, and a brother and sister. The brother and sister aren't there all the time and if the pastor that's sort of our teacher isn't available, it ends up just being me and the other guy.[/spoiler]
If When I move, I wouldn't mind hearing the occasional update about him,
from my mom, but he's not someone I'm going to make an effort to keep in contact with.
Or you could just be the bitch you don't want to be and tell him that he's the best guy friend you've ever had... and then go on talking for hours about this other guy you're crushing on and have him help you devise a plan to "capture" sir hottie pant's heart!
Hm, maybe I should rephrase that: Without giving away that I know I'm being a bitch. I'm fine with being a bitch on the net, but face-to-face I can't pull off as easily.
The problem I'd run into with plans that involve talking about other guys is that I'd have to invent them (or actually meet them which could be even worse), and I'm too lazy to do that, especially since it'd probably take weeks of sowing and I might have to convince my mom to back up my plan which could make things more complex.
