okay, so they can actually be divorcee buddies (if/when they ever talk about that)... so it'd be a more recent thing because he just started going through his divorce like a month ago maybe. his motivation would've been to 'get back out there', but when she didn't reciprocate the first time then he'd probably psych himself out, thus the friend zoning. if all that makes sense? so a new-ish friendship to build, if you're game?
