I find it funny that only Eugene commented on my big announcement--emotional abuse no more. I must be the only one who lets these kind of guys into her life. How sad. Or good for everyone else.
At any rate--I was at an ice cream shop today. I know--it was cold and all, but I had just had Chinese with Katy and Chinese makes me crave ice cream. Or diet coke. Whichever comes first. Since there was no diet coke on the table, I walked over to the ice cream shop (alone--Katy had to go home and sleep off a massive headache) and got me a cup of Valrehona chocolate gelato and sat down. A group of people came in--late 20's, early 30's--one of the guys stood a few feet away from his friends and sort of looked at me while he was also looking straight...know that trick? I began to wonder if he was even with the other people and quietly also thought--hm, he's good looking. Not bad at all. Maybe there is something to meeting people at food stores. Ice cream counts as food, right? And just as he was taking another step closer, a cute blond girl turned around from within the pack and called his name, reaching her hand to bring him back. For a fraction of a second he looked straight at me and then moved closer to her. There was no doubt they were together--it didn't matter how stationary he stayed.
Honestly, I don't get these games. If you're with someone shouldn't he or she be the one you want to be with? I mean, if you have eyes for other people, and you move in that direction, should you just do your current date a favor and call it quits?
It's one thing to ogle others: I have many married friends who agree that if Angelina Jolie shows up, all bets are off for either husband or wife--whoever gets there first. But in all other cases, if you don't want to be associated with your date and yet you go on--isn't that just plain wrong?
If you have thoughts on why people do that, do let me know.
Yours truly,
Datingirl
