it’s called…WEAR A SIGN!
So being the chronic drinker I am, I went downtown last night and saw this guy who was in one of my classes over the summer. Well in a drinking setting, as you all know, it’s totally appropriate to call out someone you have seen but haven’t actually met and go “You look familiar!” Being bored and feeling conversational, I said those exact words and the guy comes over and starts talking to me for forever…he even remembered my name the minute he came over! I was pretty impressed because I had no fricken clue what his name was…he was lucky I remembered him from the summer. So we’re talking for pretty much the whole night and my friends are giving me the “someone’s gonna hook up” look and high fiving each other “discreetly” even though the whole bar can obviously see what they’re talking about. Not that I thought this guy was very entertaining…I mean he was in the corps so PROPS to him but he was extremely frigid…like someone stuck a pole up his ass and he had to stand 10-4 the whole night. Oh well he was nice to look at anyways. So after a whole night of talking and him getting in my face and me having thoughts of hmmm should we hook up he proceeds to say he has a girlfriend. A GIRLFRIEND. WHAT THE FUCK?! And what made it worse was I really knew this girl. She had never mentioned him before…hmmm SKETCH! And secondly, if my boyfriend was downtown talking to some girl like this and I had known about it…ohhhh shit would be going down. I mean I’ll admit once he said “my girlfriend” my ego was slightly crushed…even though I found him totally boring. But still…if you’ve got a girlfriend, don’t go around in a bar flirting with girls from the summer without saying in the BEGINNING of the conversation…hey i have a significant other. I mean let’s be honest…wearing a sign would help. And I know just because you’re dating someone doesn’t mean you have to advertise it…well that statement is TOTALLY UNTRUE if you’re giving off vibes of picking someone up. So a word of advice…if you’re taken try and keep it in your pants because I think your girlfriend would really appreciate it. THANKS.
