I don't even know what my angle is here. I think it's as simple as you remind me of someone else. And not just someone else, but all the very many "someone else"s that I've collected through the years. Not exactly all at once, and not exactly one after the other, but all of them.
I don't know what "not ready for close friends" means, but I'm definitely here right now, and although it is certainly possible that I will let you down, and I really do mean this, I DON'T WANT TO. I would really, really, really prefer not to, and that's probably a better deal than most people will give you up front like this.
I'll settle for somewhere in between "close friends" and "people you only know from Facebook"...?
I'm not terribly concerned about you becoming bored. I self entertain well enough. Also, you're free. My goal was not to monopolize your time. My goal was to show you something beautiful. I've done that. What you do with that is entirely up to you. Pick up that trajectory or let it end. We choose the stories we want to write and you still have the option, at any point, to walk away. This isn't Men in Black. No one will white light you. You have a gift. It belongs to you now.
I remind people of many people. People like me are like that.
Sure, consider us work friends. That's impersonal enough to be enjoyable.
I am very happy to be work friends with you.
I'm also very sorry to maybe ruin something beautiful for you, but by the way this is maybe not my FIRST mystery cult.
Also please do not be troubled if I speculate to infinity about where we work, what our jobs are, who our boss is, and what sort of goods or services our company provides.
