Well, after numerous miscues over the last week primarily attributed to alcohol and secondary to bad timing, I had a chat with her today over the phone. A great point was made here about time and space, which I am in agreement with. Told her that I thought we had been hanging out a lot recently and we should relax it a bit. She asked if I felt that way about our entire "group" of friends and I said I don't mind the group stuff, but our one on one and similar time had to end. I told her that with everything going on in my life (which are all good items) that I needed to find someone to share it with and that would require me to broaden my horizons. I said that it was something I needed to do for myself and that is wasn't anything that she or anyone else did. I informed her that I treat everyone the way I want to be treated, and I was being up front now so it doesn't reflect poorly on me in the future. I told her to keep inviting me out because I like to hang out with everyone, but I may decline more than I used to. I also told her to keep thinking of people to introduce me to and that she knows the kind of person I want.

So, in essence I am just going to take some time to meet some new people. I think it is for the best of everyone.
