  Ha! I was just thinking that! I was trying so hard to convince myself that I DIDN’T want to swap saliva, just be super-awesome friends with this person. Yeah, right… I just hope I wasn’t that pathetic (all though I probably was. *shudder*)

  Especially bringing up being okay with them in a romantic relationship. Normally this isn’t something you tell a friend. G-g-g-g-gaaay!
