Uh oh

Nope. I wonder since I haven't heard from him if he's seeing someone. If so, that's fine- I'm okay with it. I just wish my guy friend weren't so...blah. He hates all other men. If one gets close, he promptly labels him a d-bag and refuses to be friendly. That drives them all away. That's why he doesn't get invited anymore unless he specifically asks. He's just not fun.

I've wondered about that for awhile now, but I've made it very clear that I'm not into him so any attempts he makes to show interest or run other guys off are purely selfish.  I talk about other guys in front of him, flirt with other guys in front of him, ask him about other women, move my chair farther away (and he moves his closer), and repeatedly call him a friend.  I used to text random stuff to him if I saw something or heard something that I thought he'd appreciate, like I might to a girlfriend.  Not anymore.  I ignore his random texts (he's pretty much stopped them these days).  One night, in the course of a really weird conversation among a few of us, I believe I even told him that in my mind, he does not have a penis.  I don't know how I could make it any clearer to the man that I'm not interested.  That's why he only gets invited when we go out if we're in a larger group (because usually that means I don't feel bad about not talking to him at all) or if he asks if I have plans. 

I do have the beginnings of what might be a tiny crush on someone I met a couple of weeks ago.  We've started playing trivia on Thursdays before karaoke (the perfect Thursday night, until the obnoxious college kids show up and start getting rowdy and ruin our karaoke fun).  The guy who does karaoke is a couple of years younger than me and seems rather intelligent.  I didn't really think he was attractive at first (he reminded me of a young Jay Leno), but this past week I maybe am changing my mind.  I don't even know if he's single.  I didn't see a wedding ring, but that doesn't mean anything these days.  He came over and talked to us, and he knew my name from the previous week even though I'd never told him (probably b/c he stuck around for karaoke for awhile).  My (married) girlfriend got his number last week.  She just came out and asked for it.  How she can do that, I have no idea.  She said she wanted it so that she could let him know if we were running late for trivia.  I think she got it because she likes to collect men's phone numbers.  She has another DJ's number as well (he's also married).  I have one of the DJ's numbers that she doesn't have and it kills her!!  Anyway...I went off on a tangent there! 

When we play trivia, I sit in the middle of the three of us b/c I do the writing.  I try my hardest to send Leno Jr. the signal that I am NOT with the guy I'm sitting next to, but he just keeps scooting closer!!  Sometimes I'll just stand up and put my chair in between us.  My girlfriend is aware that I do not like it when he gets too close, but I think she's too into herself to observe when he's moving in.  I'm thinking that given enough weeks, Leno Jr. will figure it out!

 

CoCo? Do you mean Conan? I can't stand that guy! I think it's the hair that bugs me. This guy kinda has newscaster hair. I think it was a little flatter this past week. Maybe that's why I thought he was more attractive.

I've tried to get my guy friend to talk to women, but he just sits there like a slug. He doesn't want a relationship (his words), he just wants someone to sleep with and have his babies. A real winner, huh? He was dating someone awhile back, I think. He never said a thing about her, and then one night she came out with us. From what he told me, she invited herself. He was trying to be secretive about what his plans were. It was very awkward, especially when our waitress asked if they were on the same tab. She was nice. I think I talked to her more than he did. He does talk about women and keeps quite the group of female friends. I think he's probably slept with half of them at some point. I don't get it!

As for my girlfriend and her phone numbers, I think it's an ego booster for her. She gets all upset if guys pay attention to me and not her. She wears her wedding ring most of the time. There was one night when she didn't and she said it was because her hand was swollen. Another night, there was a guy who was interested (the same night I got the last T's number) and I asked T if he just didn't see the ring. They both chimed in with "that's not a wedding ring- it's not a diamond". I do wonder if she's looking for something on the side sometimes. I also wonder if her husband already has someone else. He's a real jerk and treats her pretty crappy sometimes, so I really don't blame her for wanting some male attention. She just does it in all the wrong ways.
