I've never bonded with anyone before. I didn't know that day on the field that standing up to him the way I did could earn his respect. He might have been an asshole homophobe but he was my asshole homophobe and probably the first real friend I ever had. I love him. Don't tell him. He wouldn't want to hear it. Mercy Celeste
About This Quote

When someone meets someone for the first time, it is often a time of new experiences and discoveries. Here is an example: A man and a woman walk into a bar and sit down at the same table. The woman sits and the man begins to talk with her. He asks her many questions about herself and quickly learns that she is a very private person.

He asks her what her favorite color is and she tells him that she does not have a favorite color--that she loves all colors. Gradually, as they talk, he learns that she is a very private person who does not readily share details about herself with others. He asks her what music she likes and she tells him that she does not have a favorite type of music, but loves all types of music--that music is life. Sometime later, as they sit together on the couch after a romantic date, he asks her if there is anything more personal that she would like to share with him.

She quickly states “I have never bonded with anyone before. I didn't know that day on the field that standing up to him the way I did could earn his respect. He might have been an asshole homophobe but he was my asshole homophobe and probably the first real friend I ever had.

I love him. Don’t tell him. He wouldn’t want to hear it." If someone were to ask you why you love this person so much, would your response be: "I've never bonded with anyone before."?
