We've been friends for several years but not such close friends that we're out of things to talk about. We were comfortable enough that any silences were just that, occasional silences, with nothing awkward about them. We could do our own thing (both at home and out with respective friends) as well as be together.
When I got home in the early afternoon Friday afternoon from work, he was there to ask how my day was. When we decided to go to a late lunch that afternoon followed by a quick errand, it was so normal. When we sat on the couch after getting home in the evenings, we could veg-out, check out our respective mobile devises and play a game on his iPad while sitting side-by-side on the couch relaxed and at ease.
When he got back home Sunday evening he even texted me to thank me for a great weekend which prompted a quick conversation. That was followed by a conversation this evening following up on a conversation we had over the weekend.
It was exactly what I've thought having a guy around the house should be even if he is "just a friend". Of course I would like him to be more that just a friend but knowing his "type" I know that I'm not likely to stand a chance with him. The fact that he's, on more than one occasion, asked me to set him up with my friends and expressed interest in other women I know that he views me as just a friend.
And normally I'd be okay with that but I'm at a point where I want to be viewed as the dating type in addition to being the friend type. I want the comfortable feeling of being with someone where things just feel comfortable and right.
