Remind me to bitch-slap one of my buddies, will ya?

[BreweryYardRat]

I finally have something starting that looks like it could turn into a relationship, for the first time ever.

And this particular buddy, who is a real idiot sometimes, says I shouldn't date this girl (who, while not super attractive, has a brain that works a lot like mine), because if I break up with her, no one else is going to want to date me, because, and I quote "They're going to say 'look what he dated last.'"

I told him he was being way too fucking shallow.

This isn't high school, for fuck's sake. This is college. People are going to start growing some common sense, or if not, then they're not folks I want to hang out with. Hell, I'm gonna give my buddy another semester and a half or so, and if he doesn't wise up by then, I think I'll stop hanging out with him.

1. How would anyone know who you last dated?

It's not like people at a college are keeping tabs on that shit.

2. Ok. He's jealous.

No offense, but screw what he says.
Misery loves company.
Trust me, my 'friends' are still trying to undermine my relationship six years in. Needless to say they are more like acquaintances now.

3. Geez Louise...

Don't waste your energy.

Sounds like he's projecting how HE would think...and if he's going to base all his relationships on looks, he'd be happier with a blow-up Barbie doll.

Keep in mind that the largest sexual organ IS the brain...and if hers works like yours, well then...:woohoo::bounce:
Good luck with your relationship.

4. Because you always pass out resumes on exes, right?

:rofl: I think your buddy is afraid to lose a buddy. While that's sort of sweet in it's own way, I wouldn't bank my potential happiness on someone else's opinion.

Good luck!
