What Would You Have Done?
What Would You Have Done? This blogticle is inspired from a blogticle posted by SandraD1000 – [post 3324129] In my early twenties (20's), I lived in what was essentially a duplex, where one house had been split into two (2) living spaces. A good friend of mine, let’s call him John, lived next door. He was the older brother I wish I had at the time. He formed a relationship with a young woman; let’s call her Stephanie. The three (3) of us spent an inordinate amount of time together over the course of a couple of years. Eating together (dinners, lunches and breakfasts), playing cribbage, chess, backgammon, …etc, and going to pubs drinking, singing, smoking hand rolled cigars, ….you get the picture. For those readers (BTW – thank you), over the age of forty (40), you know what I’m talking about and for those of you still in your early twenties (20’s) – It’s happening to you right now – so make the most of it!! It’s a time when the laws of physics if cannot be broken, can at least be bent without severe consequences. It was one of those special relationships, formed early in adulthood, when the food and drink never tasted better, the music raw and the experiences new and fresh. John was completing his doctorate at the time and Stephanie was earning her Bachelors. I mention this because John’s doctorate required his doing research in the Philippines for about six (6) months and Stephanie could not accompany him as she was in her last semester of obtaining her Bachelor's. Stephanie and I maintained contact while John was gone, occasional dinners, a movie, or just sit, drink and talk. She was fun to be around and I dare say, very easy on the eyes, and generally brought out the best in me. (Funny, I don’t remember thinking about how attractive she was physically until after John had left for the Philippines). We enjoyed each others company before John left, why not after? After about three (3) months into John’s stint in the Philippines, Stephanie was invited to a party and wanted to attend but not alone, so she called me – not unusual. We attended the party, had a grand time and then I took her home. She invited me in for a drink and I accepted without thought, as I had done so many times before. I won't go into particulars but she made it clear what she wanted that night and being a young man, (early 20's) I found it all but impossible to turn her down. I did end up spending the night with her, in the same bed, but only held her until we both eventually fell asleep. As I mentioned before - She was a wonderful young woman in all respects. This was probably one of the hardest personal decisions I’ve ever had to make. This note is brought to you by Basket Theory - For those who follow this blog (again – thank you), be aware of how I reached into someone else’s<b> basket </font></b>at this point in the story. ******* I had figured Stephanie was just missing John. ********* I could have easily taken advantage of her loneliness and who knows what way the world would've have turned afterwards. What would you have done? Here's hoping your basket is empty Basket Theory and your algebra skills are improving Algebra is Like Sex |

FlirtyOne, First, thanks for stopping by, for your blog and the comment. I figured there were three (3) friendships at risk. Mine & John's, Mine and Steph's, Steph's and John's. It was more than I was willing to risk. The stakes were just too high for a "roll in the hay", and at that age, with such an attractive woman no doubt it would have been a "quick" roll for me.

Addz, I'm glad you stopped by although you kind of snuck in. I don't check my own blog as often as I check yours btw - thank you for your blog, the alluring pics and your kind comment, you flatter me. Don't know if the world could survive more men like me. Took a personality test once, required where I used to work. The results indicated 1.2% of the population shared my results. Like I needed any more evidence I wasn't normal. I learned early on I don't behave nor think like the typical american male in most respects, but make no mistake I'm all male, so I do share some of the more baser aspects of the gender.......well, at least 1.2%.
