Switzerland is not alway Neutral

I always thought that Switzerland was neutral. Not true. In my case it has posed a dilemna for me for the past two weeks and now that I have made a decision I'm not entirely sure its the right one. Time will tell, which is ironic, considering their watch making skills.

I've always been a pro's and con's type of girl. My mother played devils advocate so much when I was growing up that I now,
1.cant make a decision without overthinking every last detail to the point of nausea and
2.hate making decisions so much because I cant face the process involved so I end up blocking them out of my conscience until the very last minute. At which point it is either too late or a mad rush.

My mad rush this week involves me dashing off to the shops to buy a pair of boots and some woolie clothes to get me through a weekend in 6 degrees celcius. Im not really sure how woolie I need to go either, coming form a sub tropical home town in South Africa. I only really know how  to dress for humid, hot and a swimming pool.

But back to Switzerland. It was for me once the epitomny of neutral... war, bank accounts, the never accepting the Euro. These last two weeks its been more about, do I go and see someone who I have always sort of fitted into my social life through other people. You see there always seems to have been other friends around when we see each other. So its easy. You drink, be merry and if you find yourself in the occassional pash on the dance floor, so be it.
But now, now its just him and I.  One on one. At his family's home. It wasn't intended that way. It was meant to be with two other mutal friends of ours, his brother and girlfriend who I have known for years. But in yachting things change and they cant be there. So here is my question:  Do you have the same relationship with someone you know through other people when you are not with those other people? Or will it all go pear shaped? Maybe it will just be something Completly Neutral. I'll let you know.
