Mary Ann: A Odd Run-In
(also see Related BrianThoughts)
So, I’m walking home from rehearsal the other day and I run into this guy. Literally. My stuff goes flying everywhere and everything. Lucky for me, though, he turns out to be a real sweet guy: helps me pick up my stuff, walks me home…Real chivalrous about it too. So we walk back to my apartment and we talk some, maybe I flirt with him a little, but nothing serious. But when we get to my apartment I ask for him number. And he gives it to me, and I give him mine.
Alright, alright, I know. So maybe Jennifer’s right. Maybe I have been “guy hunting” a bit ever since I broke up with Justin. So what? Brian seemed like a nice guy, as opposed to Justin, who turned out to be a complete asshole, but that’s another story…Anyway, so I call him a few days later and we go out to dinner, and I find out there’s one little detail he forgot to tell me. He’s gay.
Not that I have any problem with that in general, but it’s just kinda…disappointing. Yeah, I’ve been “guy hunting”, and yeah I was attracted to him. The fact that I probably made a fool of myself doesn’t help, either. And I know it sounds stupid, and I know I only met him that once, but I was hoping it just might go somewhere. The good new is that we're still friends, as far as I can tell, but that doesn't stop the whole thing from being a bit of a bummer.
