Bad Relationships You Could Be Having, Volume 3

Whenever a single friend of mine gets itchy about being single, bemoaning the fact that they are not with someone, I pull out a story from my archives of the Bad Relationships You Could Be Having, which are stories of some awful dates, relationships, or individuals that they could otherwise be involved with.

These stories make you more than happy that you are single. Because in this case, the grass is not greener. It is quite brown and dead.

This sort of therapy of being thankful for what you have is not for all the time. In fact, reading up about it can scare the mess out of you and make you never want to be involved in a relationship ever again, lest it turn out like those that have been written about.

However, if you need the therapy, I present a series of bad relationships you could be having.

If you want to contribute, all you need to do is create a blog (on LiveJournal, GreatestJournal, Wordpress, or Blogger) and write a post, and then submit it using this nifty form and it will end up in the next edition.

If you want to host a future edition, drop a comment and let me know. We can work things out.

With all that said, I present: Bad Relationships You Could Be Having. Thanks to all the brave contributors.

Banquet Manager starts us off with a story of a relationship so pre-occupied with itself that it leads to inappropriate actions in Church. On their wedding day, no less.

The Saga Continues

Okay, so despite the fact that He and I played kissy face and then I didn't hear back from him for six days and then when I did hear back from him he was "not as into it" and doesn't want it to happen again, his actions and his words don't line up. He and I have another date lined up.

That said, I figured the world needs to know this: He is bat shit insane.

Proof of this comes from his waffling on our status. But don't worry. I've decided what it is: friends. Only.

Does He Always Have To Pick That Time of the Month?

So I got a phone call from Mr. Gentleman who was bored on Friday. I returned his call on Saturday, not realizing that he'd called previously. For those playing the home game, about a month ago he and I "consummated" our non-relationship, but then did not talk after that so I chocked it up to a one-night stand.

When I called him back, he invited me to come over and watch a movie. Not being a fool, but being on the way home from visiting a different friend, I stopped by my apartment and quickly showered and shaved my girlie-bits. Of course, I debated doing this since Flo was in town and unless he had no real problem with period-sex, he wasn't going to get any.

Then I went over and watched a chick flick. He didn't like the movie, even though it was his movie that he'd picked out.

Then we exchanged back rubs and tussled (he likes the fact that despite being roughly 3x my weight, he can pin me) and then ultimately ended up in the bedroom, where I informed him of his poor timing.

Six hours of cuddling later, I headed home.
