Post subject:  Interesting "Need Space" comment

First, this is a friend of mine, I'm dating someone else now. But this friend of mine and me would always have this great banter, but then she did something very stupid, at a work conference too, which was really stupid.

A little background, we work for the same company, but different markets (i.e. she's not local to me) and different business lines. We got closer as friends due to our marriages breaking up around the same time. We always had fun banter, and of course I push the envelope and told her I always will. I'm not your gay guy friend, or your brother, was how I put it. She also NEVER wanted to hear about the girls I was dating or see pics of my ex-wife. She obviously had an attraction toward me, even if she didn't want it. And I did feel something for her. Our texts started getting more and more playful....then, at this conference she got SMASHED! She was blabbing some business of mine to anothr colleague that was not supposed to know about, and I played stupid when confronted. She flipped out, accusing me of lying to her, blah blah, she was a complete mess and made an ass of herself. SHe didn't even want to talk about after, that's how bad she knows she messed up, my boss even told her. Women always like to make you feel stupid or the bad guy if they can.

This did all blow over and we started talking again, but she's been really busy with work, so interactions are more short sweet as of lately. Oh, I should add, when I approached her about this whole blow up, it was a weird vibe. It was like talking to a girlfriend, who's not my girlfriend, it kinda creeped me out. She was saying things like, 'J, I really can't do this with you right now," etc. "do what?" what's with the melodrama.

Anyway, I had some ex-wife stuff bothering me so I txt'd her, we started chatting, I was feeling pretty down (maybe because I was hung over). I even saif something, "you know, when I feel like this, I feel everyone hates me, like right now, I feel like you think I'm terrible, which I know is ludicrous." She responded with, "I don't think you're terrible, I just needed a little space."...she even said I was a great guy, and I, kind of cockily pointed out how adorable I am. I told her I understood, and quite frankly, I did as well, I should've been pissed at her.

However, since this girl is NOT my girlfriend and we never dated, I thought the whole "space line" was kind of odd, you get that when you're dating someone, not when you're friends.

I know she's been busy with work, she doesn't deal with stress well, and unlike me, I don't think she's really done anything to help improve herself coming out of her divorce. Oh, I knew that whole blow up she had with me, had nothing to do with me, that was a complete projection. And she's been, or was at least, drinking way too much and acting foolish, not just with me, but others.

I don't know, it's really not bugging me that much, but I still would like to have this girl in my life, even as a friend - if I hook up with her I do, if I don't, I don't. I even sent her pics of the girl I'm dating, a little subtely, I said, wow, you're not going to believe what I'm going through right now, some woman that looks like Amy Adams is infatuated with me. she responds, huh? So I sent her a pic of Amy Adams, and then my new squeeze, never mentioned I was dating her, but my friend can't be that stupid. She never wants to hear about people I'm dating.

I just kind of want to get peoples opinion of what the "space" line could've meant, if anything. I wasn't sure where to turn, and its been awhile since I've been on the board, so I figured why not try here.
