Set Up For Failure
I went on a date with my friend’s girlfriend’s roommate, but afterward realized that I wasn’t interested. The next weekend we had a party at our apartment and my friend’s girlfriend brought her, even though she wasn’t invited. I didn’t know she was even there until she wrapped her arms around me from behind and said, “Hi sweetie!” as I was flirting with another woman. The other woman gave me the stink-eye and left. I kept trying to dodge her for the rest of the evening. Then she started doing shots. After a while I didn’t see her anymore so I went about with my evening. I started talking to another woman when someone asked, “Are you Mark? Your girlfriend is upstairs in your bed calling for you.” I go upstairs and there she is in my roommate’s bed, vomiting into his trashcan. She looks up with puke running down her chin and said, “Some second date, huh?” Her roommate took her home. The next day she sent me an email promising that our third date will go better. I told her I’m not interested, best of luck, etc. Next thing I know I am the subject of verbal abuse from her friends saying I was rude for “dumping her over email.”
