I met Eric at one of the dealerships I used to work out. He was a salesman, and he and I were quick friends, we ended up being really close. We hung out on the weekends constantly, seeing movies and eating at Chili’s or Mr. Gatti’s. At one point I thought I had feelings for him, and I told him so…let me tell you, THAT was embarrassing, haha! But he was really great about it, he didn’t judge me, and we still were friends like we’d always been afterwards. What I thought were romantic feelings were, I know now, just feelings of closeness that I’d never felt with a guy before. He and I got along SO WELL, I absolutely loved being around him. I think of us as kindred spirits, of sorts. He always makes me laugh and we have a blast. We could spend hours at a time talking about the most random things, driving around the city, and quoting movie lines (especially from Tropic Thunder). I love Eric as a friend, he is one of the best men I have ever met. He was a friend to me through a lot of personal things, and I don’t think he knows just how much he kept me sane through the drama in my life with work and personal problems. He’s another person I haven’t seen much, but that is because I met Andrew. Eric and I were both single when we spent our weekends together at the movies a lot. But once I met Andrew, that stopped, and I always am thinking, “I need to call Eric so we can all go out!” and I have only done that a handful of times.
Eric, you’ve been such a great friend to me, and I absolutely adore you! We seriously DO need to all get together, it’s been WAY too long since we met up for dinner and drinks. I am so blessed you were there for me then, and that you and I are still friends, even though “a nutless monkey could do your job.” ;)
