Funny how people aren't what you think they are no matter how well you think you know them. It is bad to sum  a person up that you don't know, your assumption are always wrong and usually lead to the ending of a friendship before it can actually get started. Just let thinks occur at their on pace. It will blossom or fail in its own time. Sometimes  it blossoms then fails anyway, lots in common then boredom, and then nothing. My best friend(Teresa) and I have known each other since we were 15 and 17. We lost touch for a few years after high school, then ended up working together and have been together ever since. Our friendship has ebbed and flowed but we are always there for each other. No opinions no judgments no complaining just ears when we need them and a mouth when we need them. We have had our share of ups and downs but we just stay connected. We give each other the space to be ourselves and yet are ok being attached at the hip. We can share empty silence and be content, we can giggle and carry on like school girls. Gee, husbands should be as understanding, marriages would last longer. We love each other unconditionally, flaws and all.
