i have an aqua friend that i like very much. we've had quite a history, and have now settled into a great friendship. ever since we met, however, i've always been able to intuit his thoughts, and vice versa. as we've grown closer, this is becoming more and more apparent (almost eerie). e.g., as i'm typing him an email, i'll receive one from him in my inbox. or...i seem to "know" whenever i do get an email from him. i even know when he's calling me before I even look at the phone. sometimes we finish each others' sentences. i can detect/feel his moods and instinctively know when he's feeling down or crabby or when he needs space...whatev.
is this something common with you aquas as you become closer to someone (be it friend or lover)? i must admit that i kind of like it...we're in tuned to each other and seem to "get" one another. feels nice :-)
Well to be close to someone is really something special - because that person has allowed you where many others haven't probably ever been. To have that understanding and to click is also great, it's something that takes time (in terms of getting to know each other) but I honestly think that its something that you either have or don't have with someone, if you don't have it then you'll obviously never get that close to that person. Its something that in my eyes you can have from the start - and something that you can keep building.
Is it normal? As normal as you want it to be. Maybe sometimes it does seem weird, I know that these things happen to me sometimes with other people - and it can be weird to be on the same path sometimes, but most of the time its very normal. Do you think that you guys will go beyond the friendship stage in the next few months? Or would you rather just remain friends, despite liking him very much and having this wonderful connection?
Thanks for your response A7. I would like for things to move beyond the friendship level, but I have my reservations as well (some completely unfounded due to my own fears and insecurities, and some reservations that are legit). The relationship we have now has taken quite some time to develop, and new developments come at a snails pace. I'm happy here though, and in no rush to jump to the next level. However, I'd probably be dissapointed if nothing more ever evolved, and he started dating other people (we're both single). But of course I'd be happy for him if he met a true gem.
I believe he has reservations as well, and is afraid of making the wrong decision (whatever that may be). So alas, I feel like we're at that crucial stage where you decide to dive in or not, and I'm not sure if he would be willing to see where things could lead. I wonder if I should make a list of pros and cons to determine if it's truly what I want? Although this really wouldn't make a difference since I can't help how I feel. I just don't want to jump into anything with him half-assed, nor have him jump in half-assed. It's a tough situation. But overall, I'm grateful that we can still enjoy one antoher, you know? There doesn't seem to be any pressure to move forward, which I appreciate...which I think he appreciates.
