Reconnecting and patching up an old friendship

[Tri Girl]

So glad it turned out well, Reesha! Proud of you that you made the connection again- that took a lot of courage/maturity. I'm glad you got what you were looking for. Whew!

Reesha, that took a lot of courage... I'm so glad that he treated you with the the amount of respect that we all hoped he would

Well, I certainly wouldn't have expected him to mean... it's not in his nature in the slightest. I kind of expected him to gloss over events and just make buoyant small talk and then drop the conversation thread and forget we ever met lol!

I'm glad he's grown up a lot and is brave enough to take on what happened head on. He was spot on when he called what happened between us a 'perfect storm'. He was in maximum oblivious-and-wrapped-up-in-issues-but-seeking-safety-in-a-friend mode and I was in maximum co-dependent-looking-for-someone-to-fill-my-hole-mode. I'm glad we both understand what happened now and I'm glad he doesn't hold anything against me anymore.

He just said that being 'whats-up' friends with me wouldn't feel right and I kind of agree. As people we have a lot of potential to be really wonderful friends with lots in common and settling for the lamest form-- facebook 'whats-up' friends-- isn't really worth it.
