I had guy that was into me that I wasn’t really into at all despite him having decent qualities. I could never pinpoint it but something about it just never felt right or sat well with me in a romantic or physical sense. Hate to say that he was essentially friend-zoned but basically that’s the result.
At one point I joked with him about him being a puddle jumper and me being out in the ocean as our prior experiences were vastly different. This topic became a running joke between us somehow for quite sometime. To the point that for his birthday, I got him a pair of kid’s arm floaties to pick on him.
I was hanging out with him the day I got them for him and left his main room to use the restroom, when I came back I was utterly thrown for a loop to find him laying there in a “Deadpool in front of the fireplace” style pose wearing NOTHING but the floaties and a weird new confidence about him…
I’m upset, embarrassed, and ashamed to admit that it worked… lol. I felt awful as it was not a great time and afterwards I was quite upset that it happened, but it was a weird attraction and something that I find makes me chuckle despite everything before and after. ><"
