This was a short idea that I have been kicking around for a long time. Now that I’ve been single again for a little while, I keep wondering how it was that I convinced myself that I HAD to be with just one person. It really stuck me as odd. There seemed to be some sort of mindset that locks one into the idea that this is the right person for me right now. This is what I wanted to explore. What if you were on a date with a person who you liked to hang out with, but knew you didn’t love. How can you explain that? How does that even work?
To that end, I started to work through the idea that there are 3 kinds of people in the your life: friends, lovers and the one you love. I guess that is the end result of my wonderment, and in some ways, the end result of hours of thinking. I wish that I would have taken some more time to sketch out the backstory and perhaps flesh out our characters a bit more, but I was supervising a reality tv show at the time and we did this one night after work. I am still surprised that I had the energy to do it at all.
Big thanks to Katie for being such a good sport. I thought she was terrific and adds great charm and class to the wonderment. I am hoping to get her to write one that I would only be too happy to realize.
