Why this came about is that I received a text from my college girlfriend, let’s call her “Abby”. She was going to be in town for a few days for a friend’s bachelorette party and wanted to meet up. I haven’t seen or talked to her in years, totally random. Actually the last time I saw her was when my last girlfriend, let’s call her “Canada”, was moving here from Canada and we stopped in Albany for alumni weekend, which was October 2008. When I last saw “Abby” she was wearing a Jameson school girl outfit promoting Jameson liquor at bars while I was out with some buddies and “Canada.” It was pretty classic, running into the old girlfriend who is dressed like a school girl while with the new girlfriend who was moving in with me. I can’t make this stuff up. I think I won that break up. I was drunk and shocked so I stammered through the introductions of the girls to each other, it wasn’t a total win. I could have been a little smoother. A win is a win. Anyway I agree to meet up with “Abby” while she is in town. This is kind of interesting because it kind of bookended the last 4 years with “Canada.” Anyway, back to the point of this blog. “Abby” hits me up when she gets to town. It’s her first night in town, she is drunk and is trying to get me to come to the bar. I decide this is not a good idea as we have a history of relapsing. In fact we relapsed a few times during my college career that we both hid from our friends because my friends hated her and vice versa. I did not want to even give that concept a chance. I think everyone has someone they use to relapse with. Luckily for me she lives far, far away and I’m past that with her. I decide to break that cycle and just meet her for lunch the next day. She looked pretty much the same, minus the school girl outfit. I met her by the pool of her hotel so she was in a bathing suit this time; I came from work so I was in a suit, like a boss. Again I win. I’m looking dapper in my suit and I get to check her out in a bathing suit. To her credit she still looks good. I’m starting to wonder if she wears regular clothes anymore. We grab lunch and it actually went pretty well. It was nice to catch up; I guess we both have grown up. She keeps alluding to relationships almost probing to see what was up with mine. I avoid this but finally give in, tell her I’m no longer with “Canada” and then ask her. She acted surprised like I was supposed to know her situation. She asked me twice how I didn’t hear. News flash I don’t keep up with her life. “Abby” then tells me she got engaged late in the fall. Good for her. It then hits me that every single one of my ex’s is now engaged or married. I feel a little like the movie “Good Luck Chuck”. She then starts talking about the old days. She brings up a vacation we took and how much fun it was. All I remember from that vacation was that we didn’t leave the hotel room so I smirk and give a small laugh. She does the same. I’m thinking to myself, what is going on here? She’s engaged but texts me late at night to meet up and then brings up something like that. I know it’s a bachelorette party and things go down at those things but cheating on a fiancé shouldn’t be one of them. Even though I’m single I don’t take the bait. To tell you the truth I feel like it was a game to see if she could still get me to say or do something inappropriate and she didn’t have any intention of doing anything, another win for me. Girls are so scandalous.
