And I'll just beat everyone to the punch by saying I know that I am being a little unreasonable. Not totally unreasonable, but somewhat. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that you can go out for fun on a Friday night and not have to deal with romantic inclinations towards you coming from a friend. But like I've said, I'm not adjusted well this way. I have been married or in a relationship since I was 18 years old and being married totally changes the dynamics of friendships with people of the opposite sex who you like you a little...well, at least it has with my friends.

So mostly I'm just a little pissed off with myself because a little voice was telling me I shouldn't do it and I did anyway. Such is life.

It's how human beings interact. The world must be peopled!
But does the awkwardness really go away? It will always be there to some extent. People can't just turn their feelings on and off like that. I know I can't.
