The Gay Boyfriend

Every single girl should have at least one gay boyfriend. I have myself have two, Original Gay Boyfriend and Gay Boyfriend. Don’t worry they know about each other, we enjoy a healthy polyamorous relationship – don’t hear that often. Both of them will be here this weekend which is why I am dedicating a post to them. I haven't seen either one of them in months and I can hardly contain my excitement.

What makes a good GB you ask? Well a couple of things for me anyway;

• A man who likes to spend time with women, because not all gay men do
• Similar interests
• Similar but not exact tastes in men – exact taste can get you in trouble or terribly disappointed, mostly disappointed
• A healthy appreciation for cocktails, food, shopping dancing and bars – both gay and straight
  
  
  My gay boyfriends are wonderful to me. They have always been great dates for shows, excellent shopping buddies, they usually have great stories and they are always there when I need them.
  
  So here is to gay boyfriends! Especially to my two, you know who you are.
  
  In other news there is a big event for me this week and I thought that I was really okay with the passage of time but the date edges ever closer I want to hold on to my youth like a some sort of predator with fresh prey in my teeth. I am no longer ready to be 30 which is strange because I have been saying for about two years I want to be in my thirties already. Maybe it has something to do with the 23 year old I have been sleeping with. Nahhh I am just becoming vain in my old age.

Why is it?

Why is it when you do something like get a blog dedicated to “keeping the dream alive” that your life slows to an unbelievable halt and all you seem to do is work, workout and sleep.

A week before I started this blog I was drinking like some sort of frat boy - no seriously I was at a keg party a week ago, meeting new people, dancing until the wee hours of the morning and now, I am working 12 hours a day almost everyday this week. I have to be honest this isn’t how I imagined my blogging life would be.

People are actually talking near my desk about the drama of a paper cut. I need to get out of here soon and do something remotely interesting.

I promise I will be debaucherous all weekend long, the Original Gay Boyfriend (OGB) is coming to town so it should be a gay ole’ time – sorry that was just plain bad. But I do promise to have more interesting things to contribute to the internet next week.

Ps. I have fixed the comments section so now anyone can send me comments

A friend of mine was visiting from out of town this weekend. Not only did she give me this fabulous bottle of wine called Fetish (I would have posted a picture but my camera is inexplicably busted) but she also made me notice that there are a lot – and I mean a lot – of really attractive men in the city. So many in fact, she was thinking it would be a great city to live.

Why have I never noticed that there are hundreds or even thousands of men, many of whom may be single and straight, around me everyday.

Single has never looked so good.

As we are on the topic of email

Is email like the phone in terms of judging a boy's interest based on how long it takes him to send you an email once he gets your email address?

I know the phone rule is don't expect a call for two days, and my response to a message two days after getting giving out my number is to call the next day if I have missed the call. If I am there I will answer the call, screening is for later.

But what of email? How soon is too soon to send or reply to the email? If someone isn't witty or is a bad speller is that reason to jump ship?

Why don't I know any of this you ask. I have never gotten a date online, so I don't know. I kind of feel like a ludite for writing this but I truly don't know.

These are all very important questions for a single girl in the electronic dating age.

So I was going to write about poker (which I didn’t win) and the techno night but something more important has come up.

As a single girl I have from time to time had to screen calls from dates I am no longer interested in seeing again, but don’t know how to gently say to them you are boring and a bad kisser so please go away.

Over the summer I used the screen to dissuade a boy who we will and have called "dumber" from trying to see me anymore and I really thought it had worked, but yesterday I got an email from dumber telling me he was sorry he was so busy over the summer and hoped we could get back in touch.

Really how dumb is dumber …. When I leave 2 messages for a guy I have been out with and get no return calls, I know I have been screened and move on. Why doesn’t he get this?

I have learned something very important from this experience. Never give out your email address until after the third date – minimum.

Poker ladies

So tonight I am off to a texas hold'em game just for women. Twenty dollar buy in and top three take home money. I came in second last time and went home with sixty dollars. I am hopeful that I will win some money tonight or I will be unable to buy drinks later on when I go to watch a new DJ night a friend of mine has started.

I guess if I lose I could bluff my way to a few drinks at the bar.

Wish me luck at both the cards and the drinks.

What's in a title

So I was convinced by my friend sara ... no h that I needed to start blogging as I she thinks I have some interesting stories and can tell a bit of a story. Sweet really and who doesn't like a compliment. So I found myself at blogger.com more concerned about creating a good title for the blog and a good site name than what I had to say to the web world at large.

I also can not decide if I want to tell the world who I am or keep it a bit anonymous for a little while as I explore the thoughts of the single girl.

I have decided to be a bit anonymous for now but I will explain the title. I have a friend who recently got married and moved to the country and calls my single life in the city keeping the dream alive so (hopefully) many of my posts will be dedicated to exactly that, keeping the dream alive.

Wish me luck.

Hopefully getting this blog does not cause some sort of cosmic shift a cause my single life to become boring or ... heaven forbid I should get a boyfriend.
