So, here's what went down Friday night. I picked up my buddy who was celebrating his birthday and a friend of his. Then took a round-about way to the club because I promised my other friend that I would give her a ride to the club as well so she wouldn't have to worry about driving and would be able to enjoy her night. As soon as we get to the club my buddy's friend (I'll refer to her as 30 year old or this will get confusing) and I start chatting it up at the bar when I noticed after a bit everyone left us alone. No big deal, she was cute so who am I to complain... oh yes, she has a boyfriend. This gets me to thinking no big deal about it, this is just a normal conversation. Eventually some of the others came back and we all spent some time on the dance floor, until eventually I decide to take a trip outside to cool down a bit since it gets a bit warm in the club. Outside I meet up with a girl I have a bit of interest in and was planning on inviting her to the party the next night (she will be refered to as 20 year old). So we have a great conversation and she seemed interested in going and gave me her number to contact her. Then we both went back inside and joined everyone else back on the dance floor. She broke off for a bit to dance with some of her friends that were there and I glanced over to where she was every now and then... well, 30 year old then grabs me and physically turns me so I can't glance at 20 year old... I think this is kinda odd, but oh well. So I start dancing with 30 year old until she leaves to get another drink and 20 year old returns. Not too long after, 30 year old comes over from where she was dancing it my group of friends, litterally steps between me and 20 year old, grabs me and pulls me away not to my friends but to the other end of the dance floor on our own... more confused. During some more of our converations she drops the boyfriend word every now and then... I'm really beginning to hate this word. This is pretty much where things left off for the rest of the night. I gave my car load a ride back home and everyone said their goodnights until the party the next night. Leaving me quite confused as to what was going on the whole night.
Saturday started off kind of lazy as it usually does after club night. My friend Anthony came over to hang out a bit before hand. He also noticed what had happened and said that the whole her dropping the boyfriend word was to remind herself that she had a boyfriend to not do anything she might regret... I guess he's right but I'm still confused. We eventually go to the party and it is another fun night. 30 year old again took up a majority of my time again talking... and dropped the boyfriend word a bit more than the previous night. 20 year old sent me a text saying she wasn't going to be able to make it since it was kind of far for her to drive... she lives on the other side of LA which could take over an hour to drive to Long Beach. So she went to another friend's party. Where she kept texting me throughout the night telling me how lame the party was and eventually she left early. At around 1:30, 30 year old left because she had to get up early for something else she had going on in the morning, but told me she was going to add me to her myspace so she can send me an invite to her birthday party in a couple of weeks. I eventually staggered home at around 4am.
So those 2 nights were the source of my frustration. Allow me to match the 2 girls up with what I know about them:
30 Year Old
lots in common personality wise
cute and lots of fun
lives about 15 minutes walking distance from me
BOYFRIEND
20 Year Old
a little self-consious, and reserved
hot and is fun
lives over an hour away
has a weird relationship with someone else at the club where she wants a committed relationship but he's not giving her a direct answer what he wants and is beginning to question if she's wasting her time or not
In the long run the 30 year old would win out, except for the boyfriend issue.
I think that's enough of that explanation... I'm just waiting things out and looking to see if any of the factors change.
