Catalyst Left Behind

Ok! Let me vent. There is this guy that I dated and broke up with in the spring. I was the first girl he ever dated or kissed (the two are not mutually inclusive concepts.) On the kissing, I'm not so sure. I heard that I was from one source and yet another told me this was not so. Moving on. This summer he went out with another girl for at least a few and broke up with her from what I've heard. He is now dating yet another girl. I was the first! One girl decides that a guy is ok and then all of them will suddenly date him! In the space of six months he has gone from not dating to jumping from girl to girl like a bumble-bee on flowers. Good God! Oh, and here's the funny part! Let me think back and reflect on the vast numbers of men that I have dated since him...let me think....NONE! I have opened up dating doors for him, I have elevated his status (not in a creepy sexual way), and he has lowered mine. (Sigh of indignation!)


Now being realistic, I realize that three girls in six months does not make him a man-whore. I realize that he is just exercizing new found skills, if one could call them that. I also realize that the reason I have not dated anyone is that there has been no one to date. My standards are extraordinarily high and I am extremely busy. I have no patience for high school guys, and would never dream of dating one of the ones who attend my school. I just had to unburden myself of the injustice of the made up double standard in my head! Thank you very much!
