I have never looked at him that way. He has been part of a group I hang out with for line dancing for a lot of years. When we met, I was still married, so into the friend category he goes lol.
Shannon is a good looking guy, a total gentleman, works as a software engineer, decent dancer, plays guitar, is big into aikido, and we definitely have some interests in common. Running (he is training for a Tough Mudder right now), dancing (and consequently lots of overlap in musical tastes), some definite overlap in movies and such (we were quoting Spaceballs at each other towards the end of the drive back from the concert LOL). He was always someone I would have had no problem introducing a friend to. I haven't seen him date much, but he comes off as a little shy and I think he ends up in the friend category with a lot of girls.
I wouldn't say I view him as a brother. But I am having a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around this shift. And I agree with you both that starting as friends can be great, even though I also worry about losing him as a friend.

See y'all in a couple weeks. Doubt I'll have regular internet access for annual training, so don't do anything I wouldn't do while I'm gone (if for no other reason than I'd like to laugh at you )!
