In continuing my trend of only being able to make friends via the internet, for the past month or so, I have been meeting up with this guy, lets call him The Writer, to collaborate/trade ideas about writing projects. We don’t get much writing done when we hang out; we just chat, and talk a lot about career options. I think he does most of the talking.

And I’m not sure what to make of the situation. Not because I’m interested in him (I’m not) or because I think he’s interested in me (he’s not. In between casual meet-ups we don’t even exchange emails) but it’s just odd. It’s not quite a professional relationship, especially because we’re not producing anything of professional quality, but it’s only a step above it. I can’t decide if I’d like to hang out with him more as friends, and do something other than go to Starbucks to type away on our laptops and babble about fairly “professional” topics. He seems fairly anti-social, and so I’m inclined to get psyched into thinking “awesome! someone just as bored as me! We should be bored in Jersey, together” When, really, it’s more likely that he doesn’t really need anything to do on Saturday night, thank you very much.
