We’re Just Friends

I was a bit confused as to what our first hangout was, but one thing was for sure, I really enjoyed having Ian around. I knew I wasn’t ready for a relationship or a boyfriend, but Ian became a very close friend very quickly. I played down how quickly we became close to my friends because I didn’t want them to push me into moving things faster with him. I needed time to figure out what this was.

We started being each other’s go-to for so many routine things. From getting groceries at the Loblaws at Maple Leaf Gardens, watching the latest HGTV show in his condo, to grabbing a late-night bite at Fran’s on Victoria Street, hanging out with him felt right.

This remained the norm for quite some time, to the point where I started getting worried Ian would want to move on from our friendship. I knew he wanted more and this really had me thinking… could this be more?
