I Can Tell There Was An Accident Here

I know why I go to bed alone at night. Do you? Is it your choice anymore? People have been quite reassuring this week. Whenever I question my decisions regarding my social life I am often immediately reminded of why I made those decisions in the first place. Three people in one week. My first contestant was someone I cared tremendously about and I was beyond thrilled to spend time with him. I had this crazy idea in my head about some me/him/us thing, but 2 days later I learned that he is in quite the serious relationship. The reason why I am only fit into his schedule at 3am or on a random day once a month is because of someone I'd be safe in calling his girlfriend. Contestant #2 simply lied about his relationship with a friend of mine. He swore they were never more than friends and was determined to take me out and prove to me how much he wanted to date me. Fortunately I was stubborn and left soon after arriving there with a 'migraine.' The next day I saw for myself just how friendly they were. Contestant #3 had been contacting me for 2 weeks to catch up and have drinks. I was pretty certain that he wasn't single, and so of course I always said no. (I've learned from my mistakes, thank you.) Then finally, after my annoyance with his persistence peaked, I answered my phone in a very rude and blunt manor stating that he was not to call me because I don't get involved with those situations. I also made it clear that if I received a 2am phone call from an angry young lady he'd have a serious problem on his hands. After swearing he had been single for over a month and just wanted to hang out I agreed. We saw each other 3 times, mostly just talking about the past year and whatnot. Then yesterday I got a phone call at 2pm (close, right?) from a very angry girlfriend. Of course she swore they were together and he swore they weren't and I swore it was irrelevant. Headache much?

I can't say that it's a shame there aren't more single men out there, because the more men that are kept off the streets the better. Thank goodness for these dedicated girlfriends. They make my life easier by making these men unavailable. I fall for nonsense pretty often when I (think I) see potential in someone, so sometimes it's good to know they already have a female in the picture. These girls are like nicotine patches. It's great.

Did I mention I saw Shane this weekend? Another story for another time.
