Attached to My Butt

A friend confessed the other day.... she'd been seeing a fella for a couple weeks.

She had wanted to keep it secret, as he had recently broken up with a girl, and she was an acquaintance of her's.  A friend of her good neighbor.  She didn't want to step on toes.

I was sort of in awe... since when can't we date a former boyfriend of literally someone we only know by name. Someone we have never hung out with, probably never will - though by the time we might, it will be so old.  Furthermore, where does this fit into the possibility of dating and even marrying your best friend's former girlfriend?  If boys can do it, girls can too!  We have to meet somehow!

All that said, her comment to me was that as much as she liked him, she would make it to my birthday party without him 'attached to my butt.'


I got a good laugh out of that!  Thankfully a friend who can do something without a love interest attached to her every move!
