Chapter 4: Set ups (both meanings)
Next the man tried to date one of his friend’s ex, which may have worked but the man oversold himself and went to fast for his own good. After that failure, he tried to date someone younger who knew all of his friends and seeing that she was just newly single, he pounced at the chance to date her. His pounce was weak like a baby three-legged tiger, and she quickly shot him down with a tiger killing gun that was in reality a text saying her lack of feelings for him and that she was going back to her ex. Next, the man decided to have a few parties in his house even though he didn’t drink or smoke. The first party was a bit of a disaster. He mainly sat around doing nothing because of his shy personality, really talking to no one. But the man decided to throw another one that was smaller and filled more with people he knew already, but somehow, this party ended worst. Starting with most of his friends getting overly drunk, a drunk girl hitting him with a bottle, a drunk girl chasing his friend with knife, o and one girl face planting into a wall, it can be said it was a failed night for all especially for the girl’s face.
After this, the man went back to the drawing board. Knowing he had exhausted all his options in his little soul crushing town, he moved his efforts to places where his more overachieving friends went off to study for college. A situation arose from the mind of one of his closest friends. His friend thought her roommate would be a perfect match for him. Both the man and her roommate had similar interests but shared the same personality trait of being shy, and it was impossible for the two to ever even think of starting anything because no one could make a move. The man next set his eyes of his friend’s new friend that lived near her in that far away place. His friend tried to warn him that this girl was just a w***e and not to expect more than just sex. Sounds like a good deal to me, where do I sign up. The man considered it and decided he would try anyways because at least he may get laid from it. It was the first time he knowingly went for a w***e, even though the other girls he knew eventually turned into one or was one secretively. So the man thought of his master plan to win over the w***e. He decided he would visit his friend in her far away land and there he would have a chance to meet the w***e. He then would release his personality and win her over with his stunning greatness. Things started off good, he got a kiss on the cheek and she sat on his lap, where he wasn’t required to put dollars in. She even started playing footsy with him, but it turned out it wasn’t him, it was his half-breed friend. Well like many times before the man froze up with fear and shyness, and couldn’t talk to her. So needless to say the man didn’t leave with having a girlfriend or even having much of his pride left. In his pitiful defense, the most the w***e would be was a one night stand, but the man always wanted something deeper. Maybe he should have lowered his standards or just even tried to loosen up more because he was a mindless mute zombie when he was around her.
When you’re young, you don’t have to find your soul mate. You don’t have to have your whole life planned out and you don’t have to keep everyone you know in your life. Let’s be honest here, most the people you consider to be your friends for life, or even your current girlfriend, may not even be in your life by the time you turn 25. Social networking does save a lot of friendships but it also destroys a few. It’s sad you can post one thing and it can piss off multiple people at once. Well I’m done with my little side note, now back to your regular scheduled program.
The man had a lot of close friends that were girls, including the bluish girl, who he always remained close too. He could even talk to random girls, as long as they were the ones who started the conversion. For example, he met and hit it off with an awesome chick at this random and not be named holiday party. I’m betting it was an Earth day party. But she was taken at the time, common theme of his love life right? But you never know one day if they could reunite and be together. That’s not really foreshadowing a future event or even a story of future failure. It’s more that I don’t have a solid ending at the moment and you never know what small character in the plot could emerge as the heroine to save the man from a life of loneliness. The man even talked to a random girl at another but different not be named holiday party. This time I’m betting it was a Caesar Chavez day party. Where the random girl and the man hit it off and seemed to have a great night. But that great night doesn’t signal the ending of the overall story. So what is the hitch? This one is a bit complicated. Remember the shy roommate of the man’s friend? Well she was friends with the random girl. And another one of their mutual friends came up with a plan to split the two girls up, using the man to do it. Poor b*****d was in the crossfire. This plan was to have the man and random girl hook up causing the shy roommate to hate the random girl for hooking up with someone she thought she may like a bit. The key is the random girl knew the shy roommate kind of liked him and still went after him. The random girl even told the man that the shy roommate liked him, but only after the two already made out and everyone knew. What a b***h. The random girl wanted a fling for the night and even offered the man sex in the backyard. I mean literally the backyard and not “the backyard” in sexual terms. But that failed because the man’s half-breed friend, half Mexican, half Canadian, worst combo was so drunk he ran to the backyard and ended up puking very close to the man and the random girl. Needless to say that was a bit of a quick mood killer. See why the man may hate his friends sometimes. So the man pulled off that night with a great achievement of tanking two potential relationships, clap silently for that. At least he ended up getting more action than any of his overly drunken friends, who were passed out, puking or getting accused of cheating because your girlfriend sees you dry humping a table. Don’t worry it was consensual between the drunk friend and the table, the table was even begging for it
