We spent half that evening kissing, in the bar, then started going out, lol. He was a very fun, funny guy. He was a member of the (neo) mods of the late 1980s, that were enemies of the skinheads. Hmm, another post I think.i was in a relationship with someone else at the time, but we were "on a break" .

I think you were also exceptional by maintaining the value of a friend's ship. I had "boy" friends also, but I have a feeling they were more interested than I was and I suspect it was the same withA. He probably kept hoping you would come round and you didn't. I actually met my husband through a guy I used to go out with as a friend. He was a really nice guy who had respect for girls but was a lot of fun. There are few out there. I would encourage any girl to know a boy as a friend before considering him a boyfriend. Unfortunately life throws us curves...I do know a few couples where that has worked out well for them. Once romance enters it seems some spontaneity and individuality disappears...at least that is my opinion. <br />You are fortunate to have those "golden years" to reminisce....a good memory is a treasure. <br />KEthical Politicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12169552208571703884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647425979151417363.post-62989759796548437362017-06-28T22:33:58.120+10:002017-06-28T22:33:58.120+10:00I was very fortunate to have male friends of his c...<br />I was very fortunate to have male friends of his calibre back then who gave me the safety to grow as an individual. My parents didn't worry about me going off at night in their cars, as they treated me with respect. I certainly look back on those years, at least socially and career wise, as golden. <br />I don't think it's the same for many girls today.

Looking back it is much easier to see how it is woven into the thread of our life and made us who we are today. It makes one wonder what life would have been, could have been, if we had made different decisions. A sounded like a very liberated young man. I can see where he is someone you cherished and an important contribution to your life. <br />Listening to the music, I would enjoy going to the pub today....thank you for sharing your story...KEthical Politicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12169552208571703884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647425979151417363.post-28777436985351740022017-06-28T21:10:55.092+10:002017-06-28T21:10:55.092+10:00Yes, and no.

Going through a box of memorabilia can bring back happiness or great pain for me. It's a long time before I can tackle another box. The same with photos. <br /><br />The friend in my post doesn't bring back that kind of sadness, more missing a lost youth and the freedom that went with it. I wouldn't say I was a radically different person then, but responsibilities mean that I can't go out and enjoy myself and leave my family behind like when I was pre kids.<br /><br />I tell young people to go to movies etc, enjoy their youth.Running on empty https://www.blogger.com/profile/05668554083864151638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647425979151417363.post-86236466658477804952017-06-28T16:50:35.718+10:002017-06-28T16:50:35.718+10:00It's nice that you were reminiscing about thes...It's nice that you were reminiscing about these times.
