Yes. When I was in college, I had a friend I met when I joined another friend's D&D group. I walked into the room, saw her and thought to myself, "My god, she's beautiful. My god, I'm in love. My god, I'll bet she's married." And of course she was, with two small children.
Still, we became good friends and I put those feelings aside. Eventually, though, things kind of came through. It was a disaster. It was a tough time for a lot of reasons — most of them not connected to me.
Some years later, I happened to get a job at the same place where my friend worked. We hadn't spoken to each other in years, and it was a happy reunion. We're still good friends today.
