Nice Guys

So as I was celebrating my anti-valentines with a couple (well 5) pints of beer with friends we ended up talking about relationships (insert shocking gasp here). My buddy has been dating this girl for about 4 or 5 months but it isn’t really going anywhere so he was asking us if he should just tell her … it’s not you it’s me … I just can’t be in a relationship right now … I’m just not that into you … you deserve better … or some other nice blow off for this woman.

He told us that she is great and he has a really good time when he is with her but they go weeks at a time without seeing each other or talking and sometimes he worries he is stringing her along. He also said he wished they could just be friends at this point because he likes her but he doesn’t want a relationship right now. Blah blah blah. I responded that he should probably dump her – but not mention that really … he’s just not that into her – and that no in fact they won’t be able to be friends, at least not right away.

As the conversation moved on I sat back on my bar stool and wondered if any men that were not that into me, or thought it would be best if we just became friends toiled over it as much as my friend was. I hope so. I hope that while screening my phone calls or not answering my emails that they felt kinda bad that they were being inconsiderate jerks.

Mind you I have dated a lot of assholes so it is quite possible non of them felt anything at all ... ever.

… The Always Positive …
