I Don't Know What It Is

What I do know is that I am confused about someone in particular. Last week, my friend from Brooklyn informed me that he wanted to come to New Orleans to see me for Christmas. I was kind of shocked because I figured he would be spending it with his girlfriend. I asked him what his plans were after I told him mine and he told me that he didn't have any plans. I asked him if he was going to see his girlfriend and he said no. Well yesterday he informed me that he and her not only no longer lived together, but were no longer dating. In addition to that, he also informed me that she gave him back the engagement ring. I paused at first because that wasn't something he informed of. I waited to see if he would tell me why he never told me he was engaged and when the explanation didn't come, I asked him. He told me that he didn't tell me because he knew the relationship was going south before he met me. That still didn't sit well with me. Because of the distance between us and the likelihood that nothing will seriously materialize between us, I let it go. But still I think that says something about him. I told my best friend about it and she said even if it was innocent, he sounds like rebound material. He proceeded to ask me if we could see each other at the end of January or early February. I told him I would check my calendar and get back with him. The first thing that came to my mind was my friend in Minnesota. He told me that he would possibly be in New Orleans at the end of January or early February if he could make the trip. I certainly don't want to miss seeing him should he come into town. To hear me say that really shocked my best friend. I can't really explain why I am considering my friend in Minnesota. I know that I don't need to be in a relationship now because there is so much about myself that I need to focus on. But at the same expense, I don't want to do anything to possibly jeopardize the outcome of what I think could someday materialize. I wish I could explain my feelings for him, but for some reason I can not put it in words. Maybe someday it will all come full sircle and make sense. As for Brooklyn, maybe that will fizzle out without any effort on my part.
