First the dorm dweller in me pipes up: Hey, don't you see the proverbial tie on the doorknob? It wouldn't be rude to yell "We're busy" and ...... get busy. Right?
On the other hand, some friends are traveling into the domain of coupledom, family get togethers, playdates, and social outings right alongside you. Even though both of you might dabble in the all night, shared intimate details with complete strangers, played Gran Turismo for 10 hours straight and crashed on your coffee table benders, you're still in progressive transition.
So maybe you laugh and say you'll just be a minute, throw on something that resembles a mid day ensemble and come out to shoot the shit for a bit. And as soon as the door hits them in the butt on the way out.....
Then again, they could possibly be a step ahead of you on the road of life and just the span of one stride could mean that it would be embarrassing to them for you to flaunt your honeymoon phase in their face. Some friends are a slight step behind you, and will laugh with you about it. Kind of like the difference in discussing sex with the parent who is the same sex as you, and the one who's not.
Better play on the safe side and step into the hall all casually, with the TV on as though you'd just been hanging out in the other room for a bit, for no particular reason. God, now I'd be really embarrassed if they knew that's what we were doing. I hope they didn't notice....
I wonder if writing a blog about it is a bad idea..... do they read my blogs?
