realize that the unplanned nature of the whole thing took our relationship to a new level, a deeper level, a level that said, “Yeah, I know we don’t yet know each other well, but I am going to be that kind of friend in your life.” The kind of friend who drops by unannounced.
That’s just it: I have specifically *deterred* people from doing that kind of thing. I do NOT want people dropping by on a random evening (especially *with* their kids!), obligating me to put whatever I was doing on hold and dig up some nosh from my pantry. The only instance in which I would be okay with this is if a close friend of mine has a serious emergency. Hospital, jail, accident…that kind of thing. Don’t be intruding on me so you can show your husband my patio furniture. 🙄
