This afternoon the doggies went flying next door, so I knew bf was there. I was on my way to the grocery store, but when I got back I drove up to his cabin. I had bought a rotisserie chicken and some veggies to roast (they are in the oven right now and the wonderful smell is filling the house). I asked him if he wanted to come over later for dinner and to watch a movie. He said at first maybe, then switched to probably. I (still sitting in my car) reached for his hand and said, "You can come back over here with the dogs to spend the night. This is the way I'm seeing it. I think we love each other very much. And I think that we are meant to be family to each other. We have the dogs, we love your daughters, we help each other out, we're neighbors now. But I just don't think the boy-girl thing is working out." He sort of shrugged. I continued, "I want us to be a part of each other's lives. I do think of us as family to each other, but the romantic part just isn't on track." He thought for a minute and then said, "I think I like that." I said, "I really do, too." Him: "Yeah, that sounds right." So I started the car and said, "Come over anytime after it gets dark." And I drove off. Just like that.
