Watch out for this one ladies. He’s got a girlfriend.. but you wouldn’t know it from talking/flirting with him. And yes.. lots. and lots. of flirting.
So I meet him last week, a year below me in the program, because he’s tagging along with some of my friends with which he lives near. He’s hot, kinda tall, bearded (yes), edgy.. and on the weird side. All the things I like in a guy. And hilarious too.. so I’m thinking, this could get reallyyy interesting.
I play it cool, flirt a little, then ignore him most of the time.. and he takes the bait and chases me.. makes a point of touching me when we talked.. all the shit you look for in a first encounter with a new spare. It’s like gold, y’all.
Then I ask a mutual friend what his deal was.. single, attached? Please not randomly gay? (in New Orleans.. it’s really hard to tell sometimes, P can attest). His story — has a girlfriend, but they’re in an open relationship b/c they both know they’ll never be in the same city with each other for a very long time. Where is she? Cali. Um. So basically.. you always have a backup.. and never need to put yourself out there, but also can fuck whoever you want. Sounds like every guy’s wet dream, right?
So, I put that on the backburner, b/c I’m not a homewrecker.. even if they’re both already opened the house to the equivalent of the slutty babysitter and hot pool boy.. why put temptation out there if you have the cheating mentality? I just don’t get it.. moving on.
Later in the night.. he’s still creeping around me.. and I’m talking to one of the girls about what I’m going to do with this trip the Writer and I had planned for in a few months (yes, he can commit to a trip.. however a week after that.. it’s too much to ask. Boys are idiots.). Big Sur just jumps in and is all “I’ll go! No really.. I’ll go.” None of my friends can go b/c of it being a weird weekend with school.. and this thing is prepaid.. so..
Alright alright.. before everyone gets all judge-y. Let me say.. HE is the one initiating all this mess. And actually, I haven’t really even spoken to him to see if this whole “being in a relationship” is hearsay nonsense or true. I agree (and fig we’ll hang out more and get to know each other..) — and he’s adamant about this being set in stone. Wrote down his email for me to confirm in the morning, made us shake on it.. weird type stuff. There’s no way this guy can be in a relationship if he’s so hellbent on going on a couple’s type retreat with a hot single girl.. right?
