Double Duty.

This isn't your normal Deep Thought I'd usually put in here, but it is a thought none the less. Have you ever thought you met someone you'd like to meet or get to know better, but certain outlying factors are preventing it? Like you see a nice person, but know that between yourself and them something will clash. I just hit that wall. For anonymity's sake we'll call this person "X" and any instance used for examples has been changed to try to keep it hidden. I met X thru a friend and surprising we clicked instantly. I enjoy talking with X, X is a good friend of mine now. But there's something I heard from our mutual friend that troubles me, just a little. X has a big person complex, and I am short. I can't change it, it's who I am. So do I test the odds and try to get closer to X, knowing that I may crash and burn? Or just stay where I am and wonder? I don't know I'll just flip a coin and let fate decide.
