In praise of uncomplicated relationships
I’ve been nursing a little obsession with last week’s season finale of The Office, which ended with a really lovely and gut-wrenching scene between two coworkers who flirt constantly, despite one of them being engaged to someone else.
It rang kind of true to me. If I were to write a book about my romantic life from 1992 to 2002, the title of that book would have been Let’s Just Be Friends. (Chapter Three: “Um, I think I might have forgotten to mention I already have a girlfriend?”)
This is just by way of saying thank you to Sandy, who was not the least bit interested in just being friends with me.
Well, the end of the scene seems to me a bit ostentatious, done for effect. But it is my opinion :)
In fact, such behaviour is quite typical when a person has positive emotions towards another person and would have start relations if only the conscience would not remind of a close friends already existing in his/her life. A Mixture of desire and consciousness. It is a pity we do not see the real end of the scene :)
