Happy New Year to all our read­ers! As the year turns and we enter another decade, I am look­ing at a per­plex­ing situation.

The other day I went to a con­cert with a pretty good friend of mine and we had a very, very amaz­ing good time. This is a friend of mine who has recently bro­ken up with a boyfriend of hers of about two years. Of course out­siders could tell that her spe­cific rela­tion­ship was pretty one-sided with her bring­ing much more to the table than her ex-boyfriend was. We just had to wait to see it play through includ­ing a brief reunit­ing. So now of course she is now on that dreaded “rebound”.

I sit on the out­side won­der­ing a few things. In the past she has stated that I per­son­ally have all the qual­i­ties she would want in a man. In fact, she even won­dered if she knew any woman who would be “good enough” for me (she was try­ing to rack her brain for a friend of hers to hook me up with). Now I won­der maybe we should go out on a date. I won­der how it would turn out. Of course you have the to con­sider the whole wait­ing game and not try­ing to date some­one who is obvi­ously on the rebound. The counter to that state­ment is what if you wait and some­one comes in and scoops her up? Ugh … isn’t tim­ing the worst?

Now she is obvi­ously out there meet­ing guys and stuff but it was her idea for us to go to this con­cert. I don’t want to make a moun­tain over a mole­hill but in my opin­ion, there is some very good poten­tial between the two of us. I am con­fused because I don’t want to miss any signs but then don’t want to read too much into any signs as well. The worst thing to do would be to not act and miss a good thing. Then, I could act and ruin a friend­ship. As a good friend of mine did tell me , “with you friends, there is always poten­tial because you all get along well. ” So that really clears things up, NOT!

What should I do? I could just keep being steady and spend as much time with her as pos­si­ble and see what grows. Just don’t want to fall into the buddy zone but actu­ally I am already there and try­ing to take it maybe to that next level.

What should I do?
