I'm 24, and I've never dated anyone. I guess I've never really had the chance - I'm a shy country boy who grew up feeling more at home among my father's jersey cows than among my peers.
I moved to the city to begin my pilot training, and the wife of my good mate was chatting with me one day and she mentioned that one of her friends was the sweetest, kindest girl in the 'entire universe' and she was also single.
I'd seen this girl once or twice; had bumped into her at social gatherings. I didn't know anything about her except that she was slim, very pretty and she could play the piano like a wizard.
After that, this girl seemed to be around a lot more. She was invited to all my friend's dinner parties and we'd often drop by her house to "pick something up".
I knew what they were doing, of course, so at first I stubbornly dug my heels in and refused to acknowledge this girl's fine qualities. But gradually, as I got to know her, I began to like what I saw.
That was six months ago. Now, I think Eloise is the sweetest, loveliest, most bubbly and innocent girl I've ever come across. She's funny and she cares about things more deeply than many people I've met.
I love her dark blonde hair and her deep blue eyes and her smile that makes a man feel like he'd do anything for her.
But here's the catch - I am way too scared to ask her out because losing her friendship would be losing something that I can't afford to lose.
So silently I wait, hopelessly in love and perfectly, stupidly stuck.
