Fâ buddy is a term I once thought applied to gay men who were sexually but not romantically involved. But, hey, that's my fiction genre, so maybe I can be forgiven for that. Your story reminded me of a line from a Cheryl Wheeler song (can't recall which one): "I'm still that nervous 9th grader."
Let me think about that. Heâs a great guy. I havenât seen him in years. I spent about 12 hours with him and another horse show judge. We were in what amounted to a wooden box smaller than a single bed, including the desk, overlooking a show ring. He was inconceivably funny and self-deprecating about having been one of the M Men, as if you run into one every day.
I've never been approached in exactly that way, but I did attempt the FB thing once with a long term friend. It wound up being one of the most comi-tragic experiences of my life.

Short and sweet! I'm glad you shared this little nugget.
I'm glad you liked it. Thank you. Short and sweet is precisely how long the experiement lasted -- or didn't, as it were.
I've had some similar "experiments" in my time, but none that had quite the "truth in advertising" application yours did.
She was as subtly as the Marlboro Man. Speaking of which, I got to know one of the actual Marlboro Men. He used to train horses in Virginia.
Is there a short story there? I'd read.

I might post in Notes: âI know one of the Marlboro Men. Any questions?â
