The double date with my doppelganger
So last night my girlfriend and I finally made plans to go on a double date with a mutual friend and her boy toy. I wasn't expecting much but thought maybe he can surprise me. Turns out he's quite arrogant guy who really either tried too hard to earn our friendship or tried to play the superiority card on us. It didn't take long after that for me to start tuning him out. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and to be honest I still want to just so far he's rocking a 25% approval rating.
Never mind the fact that the whole relationship seems designed to happen by two desperate people. One hasn't dated in maybe 4 years at the least and the other was just recently rejected by another friend within the last couple of months. Which leads to the not so fun fact that this could very well be the rebound relationship for one of them. I'll leave it for the reader to decide who's who on that one.
Which now leads me to my next thought. My girlfriend told me today that this certain 'boy' has some resemblance to me. We both like music and play instruments (guitar.) He's a sloppy dresser. I used to be one. He's cheap. I'm apparently cheap as well. There are other little things as well. I guess my friend is trying to find a cheap, lame, bastardized version of me as a boyfriend. I find that odd although she at one point considered me and one other person who closest guy friends. I don't know where I stand with her now as I find the whole scenario very bizarre and their whole dating relationship clumsy and awkward.
We'll see if things improve in the friendship department with them. Until then I'll keep my eyes open for any and all different scenarios.
