Well, I've been developing a small network of friends in the building and introducing them all to John so he won't have to rely on me entirely, and they go up for drinks on the roof, too.
If I ever have to confront the romance issue, I'll just point out that we wouldn't be a good fit. We get along fine and conversation is enjoyable enough but he's MUCH more traditional and conservative -- not just politically but in a lot of ways -- than I am.
BTW, Lee, speaking of John -- but in this case my brother John -- he and I talked for a few hours on the phone last night and I told him that if I ever disappear from the internet he'd be getting a call from you.

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
I hope everyone is doing well!
Things have been busy here, but I've been staying on top everything, so I'm happy about that.
The family is doing well, so that's good.
What's up with you all?

My suspicion is he's pretty desperate to get a new girlfriend because he needs the support. I sympathize, but I don't think it's me. I'm going to suggest a drink on the roof instead.

I agree with your assessment, that he's looking for someone to help him with day - to - day stuff. I would maintain a friendly distance if you're not interested.

Ya know, Nena had other songs, they just didn't catch on over here. I always liked this one too.

You could always just start to speak to John about the large circle of gay men you've met through a Brokeback fan site, and see what his reaction is. If that doesn't put him off, just mention hating Trump and liking Rachael Maddow.
