CR: Some of them.
MPA: Sad to miss out as well, but I will be in town for Homecoming, boyfriend in tow.
CR: Nice! I'll see you there, vodka tonic in hand.

RTC: Oh and it has to be past the friend line. I feel like there is a friend line that we all have...this imaginary line (sort of like the marshmallow land of butterflies and candy in the sky) that on one side are all the things a friend would do for you and on the other side the things someone you like romantically would do for you. While this may skirt the line, I feel it wouldn't be something that I would do for a friend.
CRF: I think this is a good distinction. I wouldn't expect you to send me a virtual can of soup, and that wouldn't hurt my feelings either because we're friends. We're on one side of the magical marshmallow line. I think a lot of it has to do with chemistry and tension. So maybe it's more of a barbed wire fence. But your move (the soup pic) isn't threatening either. It asks no questions and while totally "friendly", also demonstrates to her that you are not only willing to take the effort to cheer her up, but care enough to follow through.
RTC: Do you feel like the barbed wire fence would have people looking across it longingly like a concentration camp?
CRF: Like the Warsaw ghetto.
RTC: Except that it would be the infatuation ghetto.
