How do I get over wanting to be friends with him?

Sometimes, one has to accept reality, and not get to deeply involved in the ysis of the motives of another. If music helps, listen. If it is poetry, do that. Baking bread, try it. Redecorating your room, fun. Any tactic to rest and relax your mind, try. See the movie, Emma, with Gwenth Paltrow. There are exposed many misunderstandings caused by Emma's false beliefs. It is a great film, and the copycat film, Clueless is funny as well. Both will be edifying and help get over this little bump in the road.
