That scary moment when...

goldvermilion87...you define your life to yourself in fandom terminology:
So, there is a guy in my church who is a very good friend. He's my best friend's brother, so I've known him all my life. I really do love him. He and I are somewhat similar in that we're school-smart and life-challenged. We are also both single.
Several women in our church have gotten it into their heads that he and I would make a good match. For better or worse, my mother is one of those women.
This actually doesn't bother me at all. I'm nearly 100% sure that he's not interested in me, and I'm not angsted about it. While for the sake of argument I protest that I am DEFINITELY not interested, in point of fact I'd probably not reject him right off if he approached me about dating him. So I really have no hopes or fears that could be realized here. I am ambivalent about romance, but I enjoy having a good friend.
The son (my age) of one of the ladies who thinks we should be together brought the subject up at a Christmas party while we were both there, and we both participated in a discussion of the pros and cons (particularly the hilarious cons) of our getting together.
The funny thing is, there are distinct parties on either side of this extremely hypothetical issue. Because while there are a few women who think THIS IS WHAT MUST HAPPEN, all the people around my age (we are the sons and daughters of of those women) argue that it is a truly terrible idea.
So, I was sitting at home, and all of a sudden my mind named the moms as [me]/[this-guy] shippers. And well... now that is stuck in my head, and I keep giggling randomly.
