Personally, me myself.........
I don't have to try too hard. You remember last week I had a whinge about being dumped, among other things? Well, now I can whinge some more. I'm feeling tons better now, by the way, but on with our tale.

I have been dumped spectacularly before, so this was a bit of a damp squib. I'd been sort of on-off seeing this girl for about 8 months.... when I say on-off, she'd have flare-ups of fancying me, badger me with texts (not that it annoyed me, mind) and drop little hints at me.... as soon as I bit, we'd go on a date (it was always just one date), then she'd go all weird and I'd not hear from her for ages.

It took approx. two times of this happening for me to realise these little quiet spells were almost perfectly balanced with the state of one of my best mates relationships with his girlfriend. If they were going through a rough patch, I wouldn't hear from her. If they were getting on well, I'd suddenly find I had an admirer, handsome suave devil that I am.

Oh, I see what you're thinking! You think she was using me to get to my friend, eh? Oh no.... she was apparently really keen on me.... her friends were apparently bored sick of hearing about me (this was all news to me, mind), it's just that she seems.... er.... keener on the other person. My friend, by the way, cannot stand her. He cannot stand her as he has got it into his mind that she fancies his girlfriend.

Yes. She dumped me so she could hang around and wait for my mates completely straight girlfriend to split up with her fiance (I forgot, they're engaged) on the off chance that she might turn all lesbiany. I had it briefly explained to me early on that she'd always known she was bi and it didn't bother me.... I just thought I'd have a teensy bit more time before she'd flounce off after some sapphic fun.

She also felt, after a month of silence, that she'd better send me a text and ask me to meet her so she could let me down gently. I let her off the hook by explaining I wasn't that stupid and not to worry about it. She has absolutely no idea that either I or my friend (or his fiance, for that matter) have the slightest clue about any of this, despite going all doe eyed whenever my mates fiance is near, and sprinting to offer a shoulder whenever they argue.

Ah well. I'm still mates with her, I suppose it's better things never got any further because we get on well.

So..... erm..... yes, I don't really have to try all that hard, I seem to manage it without any effort at all. Bloody wimmin.
