to be or not to be....friends?

Rachel: "Yeah, well, word of advice: Bring back the comedian. Otherwise next time you're gonna find yourself sitting at home, listening to that album alone."
Joey: [pause] ... "Are we still talking about sex?"

what is it they say about two-faced people? I don't remember but it makes me sad thinking about how this bloke I used to go out with turns into a totally different person when he drinks.
is what comes out then bull or true?

we try time and time again to be mates but he doesn't seem to know quite what to say then. although as soon as he gets some alcohol into his system, he turns into the charming lad who seduced me into dating him and he tells me things that makes me wonder about those days...yet again.

but then he goes and does something stupid and totally spoils his chances. last time he leaned forward and whispered into my ear: "are any of these guys a safer bet over me?" I smiled and asked: "do you mean just for tonight or for something more?" he hesitated a moment, then replied: "both" and I answered thruthfully: "yes".
I'm sure I would've regretted being so honest when I saw his hurtful expression if I hadn't been busy talking to the other guys.

we make plans to hang out, to keep in touch, to talk and he always vanishes into thin air without any word even resembling an apology. I'm so used to it by now that I always make other plans to avoid feeling the irritation grow inside.

our next planned meet is Saturday, when we're both out...
we'll see about that! :p
