[@Crazy Scion], my character isn't even fully accepted yet... but if you wish... I have no solid objections.  Though, John isn't the type to make deep friendships quickly, if at all.  Perhaps friendly acquaintances would work better at first.  Though there are a few things that we would need to agree on.

[b]In what context did they meet?[/b]  Do they work for the same company or related companies?  Was it a social event?  Did someone try to prank them with a blind date?  Blind double date?

[b]How much shared contact do they have?[/b]  Have they exchanged phone numbers?  E-mails?  Addresses? Do they meet regularly?  In public?  In private?  Do they work together?  Shared recreational interests?

What do you think?
