I bumped into my old time best friend on Friday night.
I meet M. when I was in year 9 at school, he is 2 years older than me, so naturally I thought I was "oh so cool" having an "older man" interested in spending time with me. How naive I was...
M. and I were inseparable during my adolescents, we lived within walking distance, that is to say everything was within walking distance as these were the times pre-car and drivers licenses.
This guy taught me what a man was capable of, cheating, lies, perving, deceiving etc... Most of the negatives. He prepared me for relationships and confrontation with the opposite sex, or so I thought - no wonder I'm so cynical about love!?!?!
M. Was a ball to be around, I made so many friends through him, both male and female (mostly female) he took me out to nightclubs when he was of age and I wasn't. The laws were so great then, out at night clubs when I was 16 drinking - what my mum doesn't know wont hurt ;-) He thought having a female with him would make it easier to meet more girls. It did. Of course I went through the stage of "why isn't he interested in me?". He was my first real kiss...
M. wow. Bumping into him after 6 years. He has had way too many happy meals. Other than the weight gain he has not changed at all. Still with younger girls around, still commenting on "how drunk he is".
A few note worthy comments:
"I was thinking about you last week"
"I heard "if you think your lonely now" the other day and thought of you"
"I heard you were married" - this one set of alarms (Who to?)
"We had the best times when we were younger"
"We must catch up"
"A friend told me you had become a rev head"
I'm having dinner with him on Wednesday night at my local. I will undoubtedly have a lot to report...
