It all depends upon the people involved.
I, for example, am pretty safe going out with even the most gorgeous of men (if he wanted to go someplace with me that is.) I have my own high standards to maintain. Sometimes I wish it weren't so

I love the headline, Azur. He will return refreshed and full of zest. As you know, everyone needs time away from their desk. When are you having your time off?

Ginnieb, it is very easy for them to have that friendship
there is absolutely no
frisson between them. There were many opportunities for something to develop and yet it never did

How awesome to have that kind of relationship...
..him with her and him with you and you with him and you with her! Whew! I totally agree that those kind of tight-knit and reliable friendships should be nutured not curtailed. She sounds like she has an interesting job! I've often wondered what it would take to write that stuff...ya sure gotta have your facts straight!

Yes, I have had the same experience -in some cases you can't recognize your words when they appear. The variety within that market is also immense. When mixing with my tabloid friends it is almost as if we have entirely different careers. Good to see you again!

Azur--- Related to your comments about tabloid journalism: For awhile
I wrote for a publication in Great Britain. I often was shocked by the sensational headlines that appeared above my work. And this wasn't a tabloid newspaper. It was a business publication. That was an interesting lesson in the differences between two cultures.

I agree. I don't think that marrying one man or woman is good enough reason to cease social interaction with all others. By making it a big deal of it interaction becomes less ordinary and that's when trouble begins. In fact were my husband and me to restrict ourselves in that way that would create tension faster than anything

My husband thought it was quite good of him to let me go out
with my friend on Saturday---a man I've known since I was 3 who had a crush on me when he was 19 years old. Plllleeeeaaassseee. Men and women can be friends. I told him it isn't nice of him. It's what he should do. Obviously, you feel the same way.

Azur - I know, but I thought I'd rib you a bit. MANY people would not ...
... appreciate or tolerate that get together, which is absurd, but real. I had you pegged as someone who would be bigger than that type of behavior and you didn't disappoint!

blogflogger, I was thinking about the way many people
would react to their partner going out with someone of the opposite sex. A certain paranoia

A-and-B, it's the only way to be
So many are paranoid if their partner exchanges so much as a nod at the opposite sex. True friendship and trust transcends that
