As you can see from this blog, there is a very distinct trend concerning the people who hit on me. They have terrible pick up lines.
However, there is another group who consistently hits on me. This group of people tend to almost always be exactly my type in every way - musicians, tall, skinny, sarcastic, witty, attractive, etc.
It isn’t what they say, how they say it, or what they do that is making me want to write this entry, because more often than not I am totally into it. Until I find out the bad news which ruins everything. They have girlfriends.
Example one:
Hot guy that I’ve been flirting with all night and partying with and totally into. The end of the night rolls around and everyone ends up crashing at my house.
“Well, it looks like most spots are taken, so you’ll probably have to sleep on the floor…”
“I’d rather sleep in your bed.”
Waking up wondering why this didn’t happen was confusing. Waiting another 3 days until I’m sitting in your lap and we’re both talking about how we’re really into each other until I ask you who the girl in your band is and you let out a sigh and get uncomfortable and mumble that it’s your girlfriend is a shitty move.
Example two:
At the bar:
Me: Only old men and lesbians hit on me.
[10 minutes later]
Him: You were wrong by the way. You have fans.
Me: What?
Him: Not only lesbians or old men, I mean.
Me: Oh.
Him: Practically all my friends have crushes on you.
Me: What? Who?
Him: Oh, you know [name]. And I think you’re cute. You know, if I didn’t have a girlfriend…
Me: But you do.
Him: Yeah…
Me: I guess I should add on to the first two and say that the only other people who ever hit on me are guys who have girlfriends.
Him: Yeah, but we wish we didn’t when we meet you. What’re you drinking? I’ll buy you a drink.
[10 minutes later]
Me: I got tired of standing there by myself.
Him: I don’t blame you. A girl like you shouldn’t be left by herself.
The latest example was a night filled with partying, flirtations and confessions. Him joking around about being a “fun fuck”. Mentioning hanging out “with the girl he lives with” like she’s just some roommate. Forgetting to mention that the girl he lives with IS HIS WIFE. Cue me being really fucking happy to not have found out whether he was a fun fuck or not.
Fuck. Seriously.
Do I emit some kind of fucked up pheromone that only makes idiots and people who shouldn’t be hitting on me attracted to me? This is why I don’t date and why other people shouldn’t either because apparently no one is capable of keeping it in their pants.
From now on I’ll just assume that if someone is hitting on me and I am even relatively attracted to them and they don’t end up being a total douchebag that they probably have a girlfriend and save myself the trouble and just walk away immediately before I lose faith in men and relationships entirely.
