I had a fun little chat with my friend Emily tonight. I just found out from her boyfriend, now fiance, that they got engaged this past Saturday. This recent development brings a sad realization: My two best guy friends from High School are now both engaged and I’ve never even been in a serious relationship.
I don’t know what the deal is. I think my standards are just really high. Maybe unrealistically high. I feel that when I get attracted to a girl, I find something about them or some sort of habit that really just puts me off. I don’t think that they’re annoying or stupid, I think I feel that it would bug me in a relationship. I don’t know.
Anyway, I told Emily that I believe the right girl will come along when I’m ready. I guess that’s a good way of putting it. Emily’s a great friend and she knows how to cheer me up…
me: I need to get back to studying
Emily: oh okay
me: haha, my roommate just said, “You need to go engagement shopping”
Emily: haha
me: he’s kinda rich and just buys everything
Emily: no need my friend
me: so it’s really funny in the context
Emily: that is funny
me: but yeah, I try not to be all self-pity and whatever. She’ll come along when I’m ready. That’s how I look at it
Emily: you shouldn’t. You’re only 20 years old. There’s no time limit on these things especially for you fertile men
me: please dont ever call me a fertile man again
Emily: haha. I will tell mallory about that one tomorrow
me: I mean, it’s true. But from you, it’s awkward. haha
Emily: sorry; no reference to your reproductive abilities ever again
me: Great, I appreciate that
Emily: go study
me: haha, alright buddy I’ll talk to you soon
