Queen West Girl

Today was “thiiiiis” close to being absolutely perfect!! I had an interview for Rogers, I ate chicken & waffles for the first time in my life, I had drinks with a BFF, and dinner with a group of amazing people. How do you make that day even better?! You go to Two Cats, where all the cool kids party.

Tonight at Two Cats, I was at the bar, when myself & my two gfs noticed a couple young men looking at us. This is not that unusual, with the exception that one of these men was veeeeeeeerrrry handsome. Like right up my alley kinda handsome; tall(ish) dark hair, blue eyes, muscley. 100% my type. So after a lil liquid courage, I made friends with said man. and WHOA! my connection amplified like mega! AJ got sexier by the minute. We talked, danced, flirted for about 2 hours. Eventually all my gfs left and I was left alone with AJ and his friend. We continued dancing, canoodling, being overall amazing. Of course the thought of “should I go home with this guy” entered my mind?! But I thought, no, I’m so so so so excited to see him again, I’d rather say goodnight and plan another time to see each other. We shared a fantastic kiss on the d-floor. That was the moment that I was like “shaaazam!! this guy is perfect.” We laughed at the same things, we smiled at the same jokes, we got along so well. Do you know how often I meet someone who makes the same ridiculous faces as me?! NEVER!! He did.
I really felt like I had met someone special. I even told him that, I said “AJ, you are easily the coolest, funniest person i’ve met in Toronto“. He shrugged it off like ‘no big deal’, ‘no I’m not’. I should have listened to him then…

We left Two Cats and walked out on to King West. We didn’t even get ONE BLOCK before a girl stopped him in the street and was screaming out of excitement that he was her friend’s boyfriend. BOYFRIEND?! Pretty sure this guy is single. I stood over to the side, feeling kind of silly, as I listened to this girl introduce AJ to all her friends as “Lalala’s boyfriend”. I even heard the word FIANCE. *gag* I was so caught off guard. here I am, relegated to the side, watching the most amazing dude I’ve met in months socialize with his girlfriends friends. There was some comment about me, like “who is that?!” and it was presumed that I was AJ’s friend’s date, which in my state of panic I agreed with. After what felt like an eternity (3 minutes) we escaped this situation. We walked away and I immediately asked AJ if he had a fiance named Lalala. He said “no”. So I chalked it up to a case of ex bf-gf situation. I had my card in my pocket, still wondering if i should give it him. We walked a few more blocks, and when it came time for me to go my way home, I asked again, do you have a gf name Lalala, he said “yes”. ugh. I was so upset. I said, well, that’s a shame, it was so nice meeting you, I’d love to see you again, but, nope. And he was like uh huh.

It’s 3am, and I feel incredibly cheated. I feel like I met a serious candidate for boyfriend material, but it turns out the position has already been filled. I walked the rest of the way home angry, mad and upset. I am mad not only because I feel cheated but because somewhere out there on this saturday night, AJ’s girlfriend is none the wiser that he met me. She doesn’t know that I had a HUGE crush on him, that I thought he could be someone special, someone unique that would bring excitement & laughter to my life; who I was really looking forward to seeing him again. I am mad about that. I am choked that he would waste MY time like that. As if he was the only guy at the bar last night. I’m sure if I’d had my eyes out I could have found a nice guy, who is actually SINGLE. But what I am even more mad about it that I have once again lost faith in guys. Is this how they behave?! is this what it acceptable and normal?! If their gf isn’t around they can act as they please?! ugh. This is why i’m 28 and single. Because when I meet a guy he is a liar. And IF I meet a guy who’s cool, I can’t trust him.

so I guess it’s back to the drawing board… dating sucks.

(maybe i shouldn’t double fist before i talk to boys…)
