Friends

[alterin]

I've noticed a pattern. It would seem that I'm a substitute for a significant other. I'm the best friend ever for single people. They all seem to disappear completely once they "find somebody". I'm like Good Luck Chuck except I don't have to sleep with you, and you might not be getting married. Karen only ever showed up between boyfriends. Kim disappeared once she found her first serious girlfriend. Tiffany claims she was busy with school and couldn't be bothered to be... "friendly", but really she started dating her now husband. Christina and Frank... well Christina and Frank 'nuff said there. And now Pei, she was the best friend ever. But really she was just waiting for Amber to sweep her off her feet. I havn't seen her in over a month now. I fought hard to get to hang out in the beginning, but I didn't like who I was becoming. So I stopped, and well that stopped her wanting to hang out. C'est la vie.
I've always been proud of the fact that when I'm in a relationship, I don't ditch my friends. But maybe it's just because I havn't been in the right relationship. Maybe that's the real reason why I've been able to keep people involved. I just havn't found the chick that makes me want to ditch the someone that plays my role in things.

Hey. I don't even know if you remember me, but I agree with you.. I don't understand why people feel the need to stop hanging out with their friends when they date someone.

Also, if it makes you feel any better.. I am either the girl everyone wants to be "just friends with" or "sleep with". Le sigh.
