I only have a few minutes before I have to leave work so heere goes another futile attempt at a brief post.
Cobra asked about meeting interesting people...
I'm not sure if you meant "female" people or just people in general. At first read I thought "female". Well all interesting female people I meet are usually unavailable. There's no way I'm going to be remotely mistaken for an OM so I avoid any women that are attached. Now that being said, here's some back ground on the most interesting people I've met...
Back a few years, when W and I were just fine (in my world), W was a little jealous of one of my coworkers. Being the naive dummy that I was, I had no idea what W was talking about. I work in a company (software design) where 90% of the employees are male. We had one fellow female developer that liked to chat with me and a couple other less geeky programmers. She was married, nice, kind of plain looking, has three kids and liked to talk about her disfunctional life. W and I even went out with her and her husband, with a third couple to eat and stuff. Well W didn't like how female coworker (FC) and I got along. I guess this could have been a bit of an EA. At the time I didn't think an A was possible without wanting to have sex. FC was married (happily I thought) and not anywhere near as hot as my W. So what could W be so worried about? This was all months if not years before W's A.
Years later, a week or two before I got the bomb, I asked FC if she ever suspected her S of messing around. I had some suspitions about W but thought "No way!" When I asked FC she was totally surprised that someone in a M as perfect as mine would have to worry about infidelity. FC then tells clueless me that she is S from her H. At first a total surprise to me but then I thought about it wasn't that much of a surprise. Her husband was as clueless as me if not more, plus he was a lazy bum.
A couple weeks later I'm really wondering about my M problems (no bomb yet) because it's been months since we've ML. What was wrong with me? Did I smell? Does my nose hair need trimming? (So clueless was I.) So I had a chance to ask FC if there was something wrong with me that would make a woman not want to have sex with me. Would she ever think of having sex with me. This sounds dumb now but I guess I just looked at her as a friend. Sort of like When Harry met Sally. Deep down I guess I hoped she'd say yes let's do it, even though I wasn't asking to actually have sex with her. Just did she find me attractive? Nothing happened. She even said that she hadn't considered having sex with me before. She looked at me and asked what was going on with me and W?
The bomb dropped the very next weekend.
FC has been a very close friend ever since the bomb. FC no longer works at my office. She is D and is dating another coworker that I consider a good friend of mine. Since her D, FC has changed the way she dresses and presents herself. If she wasn't dating my friend, I would be very interested in taking her out to dinner.
End of back ground.
FC and her boyfriend are the friends that I go to movies with and eat with regularly. FC still bothers W. Ever since the day I told W that FC no longer works with me, W has had a different attitude about FC.
I wish FC had some girl friends that she could introduce me to but she is a magnet to disturbed women so for my protection she won't even let her friends near me.
That wasn't very brief and I could go on but I'll stop here.
Does that put a different spin out there for everyone or does that fit right in with the pathetic impression of ThatGuy's life?
