A Change From The Norm

Last night, my best friend met the guy that I am interested in. I selected her to meet him because her opinion means a lot to me. I hope I didn't make him feel uncomfortable but I had to do it. For quite some time now, I have wanted her to meet him and it finally happened. I think she likes him, but I also think she has some reservations as it may relate to his intentions or lack thereof. While he and I were at my apartment last night, I honestly felt kind of comfortable with his being there. He became more relaxed than I anticipated. But then again, he and I kind of sit under each other whenever we are together so I guess it wasn't far fetched. He told me he was thinking about applying at the DA's office. I told him that I have an interoffice policy and because of that, we can't have sex anymore. He said," really?" I told him I don't have sex with men I work with. He got kind of quiet and said he would look into civil practice, but if push came to shove then he would have to apply. I told him I would put in a good word for him. I can honestly say while I was talking to him, it felt right for some reason. I don't know if I am allowing other things to influence me, but I do feel an underlying interest in him. I have decided to step back a little and just let things run its course. I don't want to rush anything. Before my best friend came by last night, I was telling him a little about my past experiences with men. He is always open with me about his history, so I decided to do the same finally. Maybe this will be a turning point for me. Last week, I got the urge to let him read some of my poetry. I normally don't do that because my writings are sacred to me as they depict my life. Only certain people are given access to them. But I am thinking about sharing them with him someday.
