miss-gonewest Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Now I need some advice... I went out with a girlfriend the other week, a few days after being dumped.... we were going to see a band and as she had started to see a new guy, I told her that if she wanted to bring him along, that would be fine. So we have a few drinks and then head off to see the band... as soon as they come on stage, she starts snogging this guy (really snogging! She's 26, he's 32!). So, I understand its a new thing and its OK, but I had no one to talk to (other than the bouncer), was feeling a bit sad about my breakup but soldiered on for a while... Until it got to the point when they were annoyed that I was interrupting their pashing to ask if they wanted a drink; to tell them that I was going to the bathroom... you know? I'd had a few drinks, was emotional and hadn't eaten, so I finally got fed up. Told them that I was leaving, that I thought it was rude of them to ignore me and I left... (however there was a shortage of cabs so I let them share mine). We got back to her house and I left in a huff... and there have been no words between us since then. THEN, today I get an email from her bloke, asking if he can come in and see me to drum up some business? I don't know what to reply? I personally think she should have contacted me, but hey.... I want to make it up to her, but I don't think I was in the wrong... I'm happy to send an email, but I don't want to bend over and accept the blame. Or am I being too harsh?
AndrewJ Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 thats crazy midwest! drum up some bussiness? whta does that mean? I totally understand how u would have felt that nite u guys went out, but thats the situation u entered into going out with a couple.
Author miss-gonewest Posted June 23, 2005 Author Posted June 23, 2005 He (or they both do) work for a stationery company - he wants to get into printing all our corporate stationery etc. He has a rep that he usually deals with... I know that's what you get going out with couples - but call me naive, I thought friends counted for something. It was just going to be us gals but I knew she wanted me to meet him, so I told her to bring him along. Besides, he has just left his wife of 6 years for my friend [apparently the marriage was crap for the last 3 years, whatever] so one would think someone would be a bit sensitive.... I know what you're saying, but I don't want to stew on this - I want my mate back!!!
AndrewJ Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 i wouldnt worry, Mates will come around, I think your freind would have seen that u were upset. This dude prob just wanted to know if he done anything wrong i guess. But u did act like a lil dumpling . I find that funny cause ive shared the same experience, however in my experinec my mates girl kept my mate alll to her self and i never see him anymore. I guess he feells threatened. But lif egoes on DONT STRESS things will be fine
Author miss-gonewest Posted June 23, 2005 Author Posted June 23, 2005 Thanks AndyJ - and you're right - he may have been breaking the ice. Yes I did act like a dumpling (but I'm so good at it!) and no, she'd been drinking tequila - she wouldn't have known if I was the easter bunny, let alone being upset or not!
AndrewJ Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Tequila (cue music) "da nah na na na na nah nant" Head up Be the bunny jump around What is with this weather in Oz land im freezing
Author miss-gonewest Posted June 23, 2005 Author Posted June 23, 2005 Don't tell me mate, we had the coldest temp of any capital city the other day - and that beats Canberra and Tasmania (so you know that's saying a lot!?) I have two heaters on, trackies, socks and uggies.... oh, and a nice glass of SA red. Yep I'm still cold! QLD here I come! Or maybe a tequila slammer would do the trick? Shots all round!!!
AndrewJ Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Ive got two jumpers on a tshirt and some old jeans that have a hole in the crotch. needed the legs to be wram all others in wash. And yes sunny Queensland is freezin and we now have those evil westerly winds that come every winter. I just loaded my bed with two doonahs and a woolen rug.

And the margin? (Need it for my tips) My ex played harp - was real good with Xavier Rudd & the Waifs... Give the old mate a cuddle while I open another bottle o' red.
AndrewJ Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Hey Westy, Go the port by 4 goals and one behind! How many bottles did u consume this evening I hope my tip comes through for you
Author miss-gonewest Posted June 24, 2005 Author Posted June 24, 2005 Originally posted by AndrewJ Swans by 12 seems my mind is not at all there How many bottles did you have last night??? Swans by 12 it is, and the Saints to win tonight. I did reply to my the email from my friends BF today, with no mention to the night that we went out. I told him I couldn't help - but offered him the name of someone that could help. I also asked him to say hi to my friend.... which I thought was a good start. He then replied saying "how've you been?" which I thought was quite strange... but I guess he is just being nice. Oh well, time will tell all I guess. Have a good weekend - go the Swans!
AndrewJ Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 "I told him I couldn't help - but offered him the name of someone that could help." Was this his stationary gig? Id say things are COOL CHILL....................ohhhhhh Had a feast of fresh tailor this evening and many xxxx GOLDS (fishing tales and BEER) Feeling Content in Vegasland! How did the swans go?
