Friend Watch - The Hope

I am now starting a new feature of this Blog.
Friend watch.
Quite simple really.
I will now, hopefully, do a day by day, or every 2 or 3 days, entry in this blog which will document my attempts to regain old friendships or create new ones.

Having Nina is great…I finally have a girlfriend...but it is not enough.
I’ve been invited to a nightclub by an acquaintance at work. Great. She is not a friend however. It’s hard to describe…she just isn’t.
Her and some friends and new people from are meeting up at about 10.
There is no way I am walking into that nightclub by myself.
Call it stupid…I don’t care. It’s not that I have a problem with walking in by myself…but that I am always walking in by myself!
So firstly, in today’s Friend watch, I want to discuss Louis.
Where do I begin eh?
Louis and I have a relationship with no commitment. If I was in jail and rang him for bail, he would literally bail. All we do Is play computer games together…that’s it.
We have been out a few times but nothing much. Tonight I asked him to go with me to the club. He started making excuses up and basically didn’t want to bother. He would prefer to stay in tonight. I don’t feel let down because that’s just him. We are very similar in many aspects but in other ways we are not at all. Having said that, he will always text me every couple of days if we haven’t seen each other for a while. He has also been loyal while away at uni….he hasn’t forgot I exist…like the rest of ‘em.
Friend rating - 7/10
Summary - A good relationship for what it is.
After Louis rejected the invite I started to become desperate. I scrolled down my mobile phone looking for someone to contact to go out tonight.
Name after name went by….most of which I don’t even know why they are on my phone. I think I only keep them there to make it look asif I know more people than I do, but hey, at least I’m being honest with myself.
One name stood out though.
Aaron. My childhood best mate. The last time I saw him was a year and a half ago. He gave me his number then. So I texted him but there was no reply. He could have changed phones. I’m just hoping he contacts me before the night is out.
Can I re-establish my close friendship with Aaron…hopefully I can have something to report on that in a future friend watch.
Waiting….
Waiting….
….waiting….
Nope, Aaron has still not text me back.
Friend rating - 10/10 for the past and 1/10 for the present.
Summary - A friend from the past. Possibly never the to be the present again. L
“if I leave here tomorrow…would you still remember me?”
