>be me
>junior year of college, probably three friends, no one that I really feel close with
>used to have a really good friend but he died of cancer last February
>meet pretty cool Freshman dude
>he starts up conversations with me before and after class, gauges my interest on subjects, etc
>we seem to have similar interests and personalities
>be today, walking toward one of the cafeterias. He follows behind and we bant a bit but before we get an opportunity to grab a meal I swerve out of the convo and go somewhere else
>want to follow through and strike up a friendship but feel like I can't
>want to ask him if he wants to hang out or do something outside of class but never get up the nerve
>nothing homosexual, honestly just a good friendship
>feel shitty because three weeks left of class and he's the only person in the past year who's shown moderate interest in getting to know me but I can't bring myself to take the necessary steps to get the ball rolling
