Flag On That Play!

Friday, February 03, 2006

Ok, so if I needed a sign that giving up on dating for the time being  was the right decision I got one. The Sign was also accompanied by a major violation of the Guys Code and and one of the unspoken rules of friends.
 
So, last night I'm playing some WoW on the computer with Big Mike and my phone rings. It was O'Gara's Girl. Normal small talk ensues "What ya up to? yadda yadda." Then, after a little bit she said "I want to be up front with you..." She then said that our friend Tom had asked her out the day before I did.
 
*Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech* *Stop* *Hubbanna?*
 
So, I met O'Gara's Girl on Friday when I went out with Tom for his birthday. She's a friend of a mutual friend of Tom and I. I asked if she wanted to do something on Sunday but she had to work. Monday I went to a Hockey game with Tom and I mentioned to him I was trying to get together with her. I was busy Tuesday and weds, but left a message weds asking if she wanted to get dinner or something similar. So that means Tuesday, Tom asked her out. *FLAG!*
 
Yeah, there's no such thing as dibs in the dating world, but that's just mean! There's a code of honor, of ethics, between guys and that's just not cool.
 
I know I've done my share of screwing up with the women, and also had my share of screw overs, but what terribly egregious things did I do to get my dating karma this screwed up? You know it's bad when guys are starting to fuck up your dating life. Ok dating Gods, I get it and I'm hereby giving up. Your omens have made it clear enough.
 
So now, what do I say to Tom when I talk to him next besides "Dude! WTF?"
 
Anyway, you all have a good weekend. I get to spend Friday and Saturday being the fifth wheel again when D comes to town with his new girlfriend and Big Mike will have one of his F buddies around or will be trying to get The Boxer into the sack even though he doesn't like her at all. He's just that bad.
 
Maybe I'll lock myself in the office and play WoW till the weather turns nice. heh.
 
Yeah, TGIF, keep slackin all!

Wow, that sucks about how Tom beat you to the punch knowing that you were into her and planning on asking her out. Hmm...

I hope that you have a good weekend as well! And if you get a chance, vote for me on Bloggin Hotties. ;) :-P

(Ozzy thinks way back to his single days...)

I used to drop in and out of dating. Here was the cycle... I'd meet someone I'd like, we'd date and break up, and I'd date (translation: sleep) around for a while. The quality of women I was dating (translation: sleeping with) would slowly sink... eventually, I'd give up on dating for a while and eventually the cycle would repeat.

I will also admit that I pulled a Tom once or twice, but not exactly the same way. It would happen that a friend would be dating a girl, when she and I had the hots for one-another. She'd come on to me, and I'd resist - for a while... eventually, I had to go to the friend and say "look, your chick's all over me, and honestly, I wanna tap that action... but I'll stay out if you want me to..."

Tough situation for everyone.

If a girlfriend of mine tells me she wants a certain guy, I back off totally. No guy is worth coming between me and my girlfriends (that's part of the girlfriend's code, too). I would be pissed if a gf did that to me. And yes, it would be TO me if she knew I was planning to ask a guy out or was trying to get a guy to ask me out, etc. Bastard!

Hah.

If you have a friend that does shit like that, then he's not a friend. Someone who is willing to sell you out like that over a casual date will sell you out again down the road when the stakes are higher.
