Dear Diary,
There’s a party tomorrow night in my dorm. The Woodman party is kind of a big thing on campus… a tradition. But I don’t want to go. No, it’s not the stupid beer pong. It’s Hannah. I’ve successfully avoided her for a few days but that ended today. Kind of.
I saw Ethan talking to a few guys outside the student center this afternoon. Before I got close enough for him to notice me, Hannah came from the other direction and inserted herself into the guys’ conversation. I slowed down and changed direction because I really did not want to have to interact with Hannah and Ethan at the same time. It bothered me. A lot. Probably more than it should have.
But despite my little detour, I heard part of their conversation. And when I did, I stopped just around the corner of the building to listen. And as it turned out, to torture myself.
Hannah invited them to the Woodman party. As ‘her guests’. Like it’s her party. She doesn’t even live in Woodman. I do. Not that that gives me any special ownership over the event… but still. What the hell? And the really sickening part was the way they were falling all over her. Okay, to be fair, I only heard two voices other than Hannah’s. Neither sounded like Ethan. But still. I knew they were all going to go to that party with Hannah. God, she can’t even ask one guy… she has to ask four.
And one of them is mine.
Well, I wish he was mine.
I had to get the hell out of there. I could feel my eyes stinging… I knew tears were coming. I took a deep breath, clutched my books to my chest and started walking as fast as I could. I heard Hannah call out my name but I pretended I didn’t. I just kept walking straight toward my dorm.
Even when I heard my name a second time, I kept going.
Even though I knew the second voice was Ethan.

Hahaha! No, he’s been that way forever, and unlikely to change him now. Women just throw themselves at him. It’s hard to change when it’s that easy. He’s not a big drinker either, so that’s not the issue. 😃

I wouldn’t say that. He has no trouble getting women, no. But he’s my age, divorced, single. Some may think he’s got it made, but he has nobody to go home to, to hold when the shit hits the fan, etc. I wouldn’t trade places with him. He’s told me before that he’s actually jealous of my life. Once you get to a certain age, family life is more important than screwing everything that walks. 😃

Oh that’s sad. But I’m sure he’ll find someone to settle down with soon.. and not just screw around.. Yes family life does become important. Its a crucial role that builds your character.

He had a long term relationship, married, 3 kids. But it ended badly and she continued to be shitty when it came to the kids and such. Don’t think he’s interested in going down that path again.

That would be trouble, I’m afraid. He’s actually fairly close to your area though, until June at least. His job has him in Delaware. I’m sure you’d react the same way most women do to him, so beware. It was awesome being his wing man back in college and our early 20’s. It made my work a lot easier. 😏

Oh, I get that. And I love women as much as the next guy. But being even a little discerning, even for a one night stand, was always prudent to me. I never wanted to dip my wick just any old place. Some dudes just don’t care. That seemed overly risky to me.

I knew girls like her. I think they were so unsure of their worth that they didn’t think they had anything to offer a guy but sex. Teenagers and early 20s, so much insecurity! It would be interesting to see where girls like her are 20 years after college and if they ever learned to be friends or not!

In my experience, in the future, they might get better eventually but still see everything as a competition. They have to top everything you ever tell them so they feel like they’ve “won”…
