absent minded professor

yesterday i had dinner with HP. he's such a strange one. we dated before and decided it would be best to just be friends since we were such different people in different places of our lives. i don't mind being friends if things don't work out if the person is nice. but it just seems that whenever he's not seeing anyone, he starts thinking about me because i have "the list" of what he's looking for. in actuality, he has my "list" too. but i've discovered long ago that the list hasn't ever worked for me. anyways, he really should realize that it's not a good thing to be the "nice" girl he thinks about everything time he's single. =P so why do i remain friends with him? i dunno, i can't say no to hanging out with a nice person. i know he doesn't do these things on purpose. he's like an absent minded professor who only goes by what he's feeling at the moment. *sigh* i just need to keep track and only hang out with him when he's dating someone.
