- Meeting two guys the same weekend at an activity. One lives in NY, the other lives in MA. (If there's no one in RI, I don't feel bad about stealing guys from other states.)
- One of them (NY) decides to come to RI for the weekend to visit. Really? But I decide it's okay*-- and let him know I have plans Friday so he can't come any earlier than Saturday. And he still comes...
- The night before NY comes to visit, I talk to MA on the phone. We've been talking all week, and he finally asks to take me out. Which I agree to, because I don't know how the weekend is going to go. I only met NY a couple weeks before!!! That, and I'm still sort of playing by BYU rules, which state that it's okay to schedule multiple dates the same weekend (or same night) and you have two or three dates to decide whether you're going to go after it or not.**
- Long story short, I actually had a great time with NY and we decided to see where things wind up.***
- So then I have to call MA and tell him I'm seeing someone. I don't think anyone on the planet can do this gracefully, but I am particularly clumsy. Flippant and glib I can do, but somehow I don't feel like that's the best method if I still want to be friends. His response? "Well if things don't work out, let me know and you can take me up on my offer." Um, thank you. Please let me sink into a hole.
*I'm really good at keeping people, especially boy people, at arm's length. I'm working on it. :)
**These rules do not apply outside of BYU and sound crazy to everyone who hasn't been at BYU. But it's a numbers game-- the more people you date, the more you rule out, lol!
***Which is big for me because my last real relationship was two years ago. Everything since then has been open or like 2 months. Yeah.
