Sweet corn, I admire you guys who can date.
I reconnected with an old friend that I've known for longer than some of you have been alive, and that's the only way I could possibly have had the guts to get into a new relationship: With someone I know inside and out already, someone who knows me (warts and all) and loves me anyway, someone where there aren't any skeletons in the closet and if there are any, well, we've seen each others' skeletons before.
Oh, and it does help that he
might have a beer once a year or so. Tops. When we went to school together, he was always the designated driver. Never had any interest in drinking.
And come to think of it, he doesn't drink coffee either...
