I'm going to assume that it's someone you already know and you have gotten past the Name, facebook/myspace/tribe and phone number phases, because let's face it when was the last time you met someone that didn't know someone you know...No I introduced you to them remember?
Anyway you look them in the eye and say Do you:
Want to go see a cheap movie where they serve pizza and beer?
Go to a performance art/pub crawl in a pirate/santa/etc costume?
Have sex in my friends closet while the rest of the party is otherwise occupied?

To which they reply:
No:
you're my best friend's lover or my best lover's friend
we did already...remember?
We have the same hairstylist
...and that would just be too awkward


Do you ever feel like that?

this is an incestuous place for sure...
i asked my most recent lover, a cute traveler who passes through town fairly regularly, an important question - "do you have a girlfriend who would be mad or hurt by this?"

the answer, thankfully, was no, and we've been enjoying each other ever since, at least when we're both around. for better or for worse, however, his primary girlfriend is someone i know pretty well. she's the ex-girlfriend of one of my really good friends, and about three months ago she and i went on a date with the same guy, at the same time. for fuck's sake.

oh, and...
that same guy is a DIFFERENT guy than the one we are apparently CURRENTLY sharing.

Well, the dating scene may suck, but your writing has improved. :)
