R-E-S-P-E-C-T... at least pretend to show some to me!!

ok... here's the thing.. i'm well aware that i have boobs and legs, but believe it or not guys, i also have ears, eyes, and a heart. so please try to show just a little bit of respect for me when i'm around. this means not talking about, or to, the new girl you're seeing loud enough for me to hear when we are 2 people away from each other at the table! i get it, you found someone else to string along and i'm sure she feels just like i did in the beginning. you make her think she's special. but when you give her the impression that you want to meet her parents.. and then you hang up the phone with her and say something along the lines of "f* that! i'm not meeting her parents. i don't want to get married 'till i'm 35 or 40. i just need to find a girl to wait around for 15 years." you may think you're cool in front of your friends, but all i think is you're an arrogant jerk. so please stop trying to get a reaction out of me because i refuse to let you know that you have any affect on me. that being said, i do have feelings and while you feel the need to try to rub it in my face when we're in public or post cute "couple" pics on facebook, i only think you're trying too hard. i'm moving on too. i'm doing fun things, and yet you don't hear me talking about it in front you. obviously you don't even care enough about me to be considerate, but just know that the next time you try to rub something in my face i really may just dump my beer on your head and walk out!!

that's clearly my own personal soapbox, but let's be honest we've all had an awkward moment with someone we were formerly involved with. whether it's hanging out with mutual friends or running into them unexpectedly, we have to deal with various situations and it's definitely not always easy. especially when he's moved on. the thing is though, isn't your life actually better without him? i mean if he couldn't appreciate you and treat you right, then he probably hasn't changed. and the next girl (as great as she may be) is very likely just a new version of you. so as upsetting as it may be. take a step back and re-evaluate because who is he to control your emotions? so whether you order another cocktail and tear up the dance floor with friends or grab a bottle of wine and vent... CHEERS!! "to the losers who've lost us, the men that have won us, and the lucky bastards that have yet to meet us!!"
