Boy did I get sucked in and played! Let's just say this is one of those valuable lessons that really smartens a guy up.
I went out for a drink last night with a girl I met online. Things were actually going really well, lots of flirting and a good rapport. She was very complimentary too.
Then at some point during the night two of her friends came over to say hello. They just happened to be in the same bar that night (but that's besides the point).
I looked at one of the girls and she looked at me. Holy sh1t! It was Sarah, my last major oneitis from a few months ago. In fact, I never got over her 100%. We had hit it off so well when we were together and she seemed really into me. She suggested we give each other love bites, took a photo of us together, had amazing sex, I slept over and we cuddled up in bed together. She seemed such a sweet girl with great morals, and really appeared to be long term girlfriend material. I really thought she was special.We arranged to meet again, but then out of nowhere she broke it off and said she wasn't ready to date.
I'd done well to move on, but now I realised that she was close friends with my date. She recognised me straight away, smiled and said "Hey Jariel, how are you?" I greeted her back politely. So now my date clicked that me and her friend knew each other.
They left us alone and the first thing my date said to me was, "If you and Sarah have slept together, then we really need to end this date."
I was taken aback by this. Why did she immediately assume that when we'd merely said hello to each other?
I didn't admit to it straight away, but wanted to know why she'd said that.
"Sarah and me are good friends and I can't be with anyone who has already been in her".
I tried to press for more information. "But why would you automatically assume that?"
"Cos I know what she's like when it comes to men."
"She get's around a bit then?"
"I never actually said that, but she definitely likes men."
My heart actually sank. Despite it being months ago and despite having moved on, it hurt to realise that our "special" night together was just a one night stand and that I was just one in a long line of men. I really believed that when she broke it off with me, she was being honest, but she was really just pushing me aside and making way for the next guy. My illusions were shattered.
My date already knew I'd slept with her and wasn't going to believe anything else so I admitted to it. I told her I understand where she's coming from and we parted ways amicably.
It's sh!t like this that really makes a guy cynical about women. I got played in the worst way, and yet I was left thinking my wonderful oneitis girl was so sweet and innocent, that what we shared meant something. If it wasn't for this freak coincidence, I never would've known what she was really like and would've continued in blissful ignorance.
It makes me realise just how blissfully ignorant most of us guys really are and how many girls play us in this way. The chances are if a girl ends it out of the blue, she's got some other guy (or several) she's lining up to bang.
On one hand, it really winds me up how deceitful and manipulative some women can be, but on the other, it feels like the more of this behaviour I see, the wiser I become.
I guess we should just keep those plates spinning and never take the words of a woman at face value.
