What's the difference between Fancy and Like?

Dear Bloggers,

I’m planning on this being a brief post but sometimes, when I’m writing, my imagination just overtakes my brain and all I can think to do is document every single thought and feeling I have in that one single moment. And then I find myself written an entire two pages! It’s a strange thing really but some say it makes sense.

Anyhow what I wanted to say was that do you ever get the feeling where you like being around someone but you don’t really like them in such a way that people would think you do? So, for example, you’re a guy and you really like being around this girl, she’s funny, cool and has this weird vibe around her which makes you feel really comfortable and at ease, but you friends keep insinuating that you have some strange sort of fancy for her. Although, as nice as she is, you don’t feel really much of any attraction to her at all. It’s just that little thing about her that makes you feel so warm and, no matter how much you try, you can't get over it or find the feeling anywhere else.

It’s not that you really want to like this girl or anything, It’s just that you can imagine being in her company and feeling at home.

I’m not sure if this feeling is a short term tingle that will evaporate soon enough or something more long term. I suppose it sort of crept up on me. I mean it was always at the back of my mind but I never took much time to acknowledge it.

Okay so, let’s just say this girl, she wasn’t there one day and you didn’t feel like you were getting the entire package. She was just that little thing extra that seemed to make everything just that little more perfect. And it’s only when she wasn’t there do you realise that this strange feeling has been building up and building up until you’re so utterly confused with it that you don’t know what to do!

Well till we meet again
Naffy.
