so, what happened, PeterB ?

Religion is a good difference to have. it will give you plenty to talk about in your marriage.

[rgG]

Well, I think it was good that you got out; you never know where it may lead. Just keep an open mind and see what happens. Friend or more, only time will tell.

[quote BigGuynRusty][quote PeterB]but it is true that we have a lot of differences... religion,.
She doesn't believe that a hamster was the true messiah?
She isn't a member of the Church of Hamsterology?

Everyone knows St Peter was a rabbit.

She must have been a Windows person :-)

Nothing wrong with the friend zone Peter. One of my best friends is female. She's a sounding board for a TON of advice about females and how they work.

When I first met her over a decade and 1/2 ago, I saw from the start she was VERY high maintenance, so I kinda put her in the friend zone. Best thing I could have done.

Although we have drifted apart and together at times (don't talk for about 6 to 15 months, often when involved in a serious relationship), we usually reconnect and pick up right where we left off.

We are in our "on again" friendship since we are both single at the moment. We actually picked up our friendship again when Kanye West had the Hit song "Gold Digger" and I referred to that jokingly as her "Theme song".

(I ain't saying she a Gold Digger, but she ain't messin' wit no Broke...)

She hates that!

Anyway, hope that friend thing works out for you. Don't be afraid to use her as a sounding board for relationship advice (as a friend), it will help you with dating in the future.

hey, if she "gets" you, and she introduces you to someone who is a perfect fit, win-win.

She has a friend she's trying to get rid of, someone who would be happy in a hamster-obssessed life?

What are the odds?

I agree with Racer and Art regarding maintaining a friendship with her. You'd never know she just might introduce you to her friends, cousins, relatives, neighbors, etc. who is much more your style.

[Racer X]

Honestly, being introduced to one of her friends who may be a better fit works out very frequently. If she knows both of you, and thinks you two might like each other, the friend is essentially getting an endorsement.
