Number 145.

My new friend Allen is an angel. He's really sweet and strange and has pink hair (thanks to me. I do good.).
Last night i heard him talking to another friend of ours, telling him that he thinks i may be number 145. I asked him what that meant, and he told me that he simply couldn't b/c if he told me, i would most definately become #145. After prying and begging to know for at least 20 minutes, he finally gives up the goods.
He tells me that other female friends of ours have been other numbers like 139, 141 and so on. Then he explains that 145 would be the number of girls who have considered him too good a friend to date him. I look at Al, hold my breath and bite my lip neither confirming nor denying it.
Maybe i shouldn't pry so much next time.

Bloody nosy women

Just because I'm paranoid it doesn't mean that they aren't watching me!

No sugar thanks, I'm sweet enough already!

I'm shootin' for #13, and I'm pushin' 30 years. Have I been doing something wrong all this time? (that was rhetorical, people, I don't really want to know!)

{edit} waitaminit, you said "too good a friend to date"... I've been on the receiving end of that one waaaaay too many times to count. Me considering a woman too good a friend to date, few and far between. It's the close friends I consider. Maybe that's the problem. Bleh.

I really should sleep or something. I'm just gettin' stupid now.

Wow I need to start numbering my guy friends who wont date me. Ohh thats right....none of them will. Too many to count. I think its worse getting turned down by a friend than some stranger.

I am that guy. I just have female "friends", nothing beyond that. Don't really blame them though.

Hmm... I've got so many female friends... I seem to collect them. I never have the balls to ask any out, and in fact, I can rarely make myself even talk to girls unless I suppress any attraction I feel for them... Recently that's been surfacing more and more.. there's one girl I've been thinking about recently, but chances are I'll never actually work myself up to asking her out. So I just move on, cold and alone.

I honestly doubt I'll ever get another girlfriend (the one I actually managed to get had made it abundantly clear that she wanted to go out, and I still waited about a year and a half before asking her out...)

Oh well. I'm pathetic. I'll shut up now.

Screw that stuff anyway. Too much baggage comes with someone that thinks like that.

But i like the fucked-up ones.
I've dated a couple cute fucked-up ones. One of em was a bi-polar, obsessive-compulsive guy. I suuuure know how to pick em.
It is so evident that Al is damaged goods. So, so evident.
*sigh*
Remember, my dream was to be a high-school social worker at one point... see the connection?

I know Dingle, I really, really do. And, believe me, I do normally steer clear of people who are clearly unstable. I have done it before in the recent past, but i'm only just beginning to practice this stable-people-dating thing. Ben is the first stable person i've dated in... forever. Plus, i am trying not to give my evil-ex even the time of day.
I'm trying to take care of myself, but it's not like Al is the enemy. I just can't control my pity and in which direction it goes. Ah well.
I'll be good, i promise

I used to keep a list.

Al may be a very sweet guy, but you probably wouldn't want to go there. If he's always pitying himself, then he's obviously got some issues to work through before he can be in a serious relationship without getting clingy or making things uncomfortable for his partner. Self-pity is an evolutionary trick that helps guys get sympathy fucks. It isn't something that another person can fix, and although you could put up with it for a while, eventually you'd go sour on him.

I'm glad I've recovered.

As nice as Al seems, stick with your current guy.
