Yesterday Bmad, The Steed and I went to have dinner with a high school friend of ours, Mr PHD, who’s been living in the UK for the past 5 years.
He’s married and now has a 1 year old son.
We gather there with a whole bunch of his varcity friends. I quickly noticed that I was the only single at the table.
For a very long time Mr PHD has been asking me when I’m going to introduce him to my girlfriend.
“…so where is your girlfriend Blade, I see your facebook photos with different girls every week…you gonna pick one or what?” he asked. I looked up from my Chicken and Rips (fuck you vegans ;P ) and noticed everyone looking at me expecting an answer.
Perhaps expecting something along the lines of”…Oh no she couldn’t make it … she wanted to finish watching the Jane Austen Book Club movie…“ or “…she had a very important ballroom dancing class.”
Instead I jokingly said “…which one? ….I have many friends that are girls…“
One of his buddy’s girlfriends then said something quite interesting. “If he got a girlfriend then you wouldn’t be able to live the single life through him…”
She had a point. I have a lot of married friends, Nuptials Navy (AKA Marriage Marines: this is what we call our married guy friends). They are constantly probing me for details of my love life, ‘what did you get up to last weekend?’, ‘what was she like?’ and their fav ‘did you hit that?’
I think it’s safe to say that some couples or people in a relationship live the single life through their single friends. It’s a quite voyeuristic.
Being single is not for everyone. Some people can’t handle it. Others are petrified of being single that they remain in crappy ass, unexciting relationships because they can’t cope with the loneliness.
What they fail to understand is that single doesn’t mean lonely. Besides, you can be lonely even when you are IN a relationship.
I guess misery loves company?
I personally prefer to be single and healthy than healthy in an unhealthy relationship…that’s just sick.
I also heard something interesting in a conversation with one of my “girlfriends”.
Women tend to keep their single friends away from their man friends?
I don’t believe this.
Your thoughts?
