This happened a little over 5 years ago, and is one of those experiences you don’t easily forget. Back then I had this friend called Dan, with whom I spent a lot of time. We were always doing stuff together, either with all of our friends, just the two of us, or together with his girlfriend at the time, called Lana. The main reason we were so close was actually because he was pushing it. Always calling me to hang out, coming by, “accidentally” bumping into me at places he knew I would be. Despite being very annoying at times, he was a relatively OK guy, and we did have fun together most of the time, so I let all of those things slide.
