[TEXT] It's a quarter after 1 I'm a little drunk and what were the next lyrics?

[Sometimes Mr. Nelson's students forget their teacher is on the network. This time Mr. Nelson forgot his students were on the network. This message brought to you by a stressed middle aged man drinking WAY TOO MANY shots late Friday night.]

Say you and the guy you have feelings for agree to stay just friends because even though he feels the same way about you he's not comfortable dating other guys yet. You two continue hanging out and get even closer and the next thing you know you're regularly meeting for movie night and having serious heart to heart conversations with each other. Best friends fuck yeah!

But then things start to get into a very very grey territory where you're doing things friends don't normally do. Like cuddling up to each other or spooning and you might have laid one on him once or twice. Also people start thinking you're not single because back in FEB your stupid heart stone convinced like half the kids you teach that you're madly in love with someone and getting married any day now- THEIR WORDS not mine. Sure you haven't said those special words directly to him but you're getting very serious about him and he keeps alluding to being very serious about you. And you don't want to force anyone to rush into something they're not ready for but you're turning down dates when others ask you out because it feels like you have a boyfriend even though you don't.

Where do you draw the line between "I'm respecting your wishes to say we're just friends because you're not comfortable with your sexual orientation yet" and "Buddy no matter how many times we call each other dude and pal it's crazy to say we're not dating at this point"????

I asked the bartender and they looked at me like I was insane.

i plead the fifth

[thisloveisjustice]

technically, the fifth is not applicable in instances such as this. so no, you can't plead the fifth.

[devilsadvocato]

Yes I can. Watch me. I'm doing it right now.

[thisloveisjustice]

remember. i know where you live.

[devilsadvocato]

Please don't kill me
everything was agreed upon by both parties

[He can't tell he's joking over text. BEING DRUNK DOES NOT HELP EITHER]

[thisloveisjustice]

now why would i want to kill you?
that's no fun at all

[devilsadvocato]

Please please don't torture me
or steal my dog

If you want to tell you know who that I'm the worst I can understand that though

[thisloveisjustice]

idk, you're dog is pretty cute

Honestly Foggy, I don't think you're the worst. But you and you know who need to have a really honest conversation. Preferably without alcohol being involved.

[devilsadvocato]

I am not talking to him like this. You don't have to worry about that.
Man I feel like a big jerk for having this problem to begin with. Things are good between him and I. Really really good.
I should be satisfied with what we've got going on
Why do I have to be like this?

[thisloveisjustice]

Because you're human and emotions are difficult? Plus, we find stability and comfort in labeling things, whether for good or bad.
Even if all that comes out of it is 'I'm still not really to put a label to this,' at least you'll know where he is and he'll know where you are.

[devilsadvocato]

Right
It should be fine
we're cool
we can talk about this stuff
my head keeps running off to bad places
making me think this might go so bad that i ruin what we have
or giving me doubts about whatever is going on in his head

[thisloveisjustice]

whatever alcohol you've had tonight, is probably not helping
so stop thinking about it and go to bed.

[devilsadvocato]

yeah I'm calling for a ride
I think the bartender is tired of having me around anyway 😓
if he finds out about this post and freaks he's going to you I bet
sorry to spring friend support duties on you
if he's pissed I'll understand
I won't bother him for a while if he needs space

[thisloveisjustice]

heh yeah, probably
it's kind of what friends are for after all
that includes you too, you know

[devilsadvocato]

thanks
he gets dibs on your support though
if you're mad at me later since you're team him
i totally get that

[thisloveisjustice]

i can say with... 75% accuracy, that i'll probably not be mad with you later

[devilsadvocato]

so you're optimistic then?

[thisloveisjustice]

yes, i am

[have a little faith foggy]

[devilsadvocato]

I hope you're right.

[Difficult to do when you're drunk and all the mean little voices in your head are either chanting "CHUG CHUG!" or "YOU SUCK!"]
