I am a strong believer of "Don't befriend a potential date" and "Never date a friend" but this story is making me question my perspective.

I haven't read something this honest and insightful in a while to be very honest,

If I am around someone I like or want to impress, I tend to get very stiff and self conscious trying to project an image of perfection but what you say is true - Being comfortable is key.

I loved the way you worded this and especially how you included subtle humor along the way. A very enjoying read indeed.

Thanks for writing this!
