When you go to a small college like I do, the odds of bumping into someone that blew you off, twice, are incredibly high. The odds of bumping into her when she's with her girlfriend, well, it's not so high, as it is just plain odd.
Yesterday, I ran into my good friend Chloe. We swapped tales of our wild weekends, and it was determined, hands down, that I had suffered the most, which meant a giant double chocolate cookie was in order.
As we walked to the cafeteria, I got a funny feeling in my stomach. It was the kind of feeling you get when you know something's gonna happen, but you're not exactly sure what. And sure enough, something did happen. There was April, laughing with what I thought was a fellow female classmate. I hadnt really contemplated as to what I would do if I saw her again, much less run into her, so I turned and suggested to Chloe we go somewhere else. Of course, Chloe wanted to see the infamous April and wouldnt leave until she got a good long view of the girl. And that's when she recognized her. It was her lesbian friend Kiki, as she was affectionately known. And the fellow female classmate? Well, it wasnt just a random classmate. It was her girlfriend, as she was affectionately known.
Chloe then began to inform me that April and her girlfriend Melinda had been thinking of going steady for some time. April had considered herself to be bisexual but had never actually done anything with a guy, which explained the reason why I was a one-time thing (which, she should have said something, you know?). Chloe laughed when she realized I was April's mystery date and then asked if we really did have sex. Apparently my lesbian liaison stretched the truth, which at first made me smile, but then frown when I realized she went back to being a lesbian.
Chloe and I made our way back to the quad, as I told her my side of the date story. As Chloe laughed at my tale of woe, our friend Starr came up and Chloe wasted no time filling her in. Starr symathized with me as she shared her bad weekend dating experience.
STARR: Why cant guys and girls be friends? I talk to a guy, and automatically they think I'm interested in them and I wanna date them.
ME: Well, you are pretty.
STARR: Oh, well, thanks. But I'm serious. I cant talk to a guy without them thinking I'm looking for just more than friendship. I'm telling you...the only good guy, is a gay guy.
ME: That's not true.
STARR: Yes. It is. Think about it. You dont have to worry about whether or not your pretty because they totally boost your self esteem. All a gay guy expects is for you to be your fabulous self.
ME: That's like saying, the only good girl is a gay girl, cuz then guys dont have to impress them. They just have to be their fabulous self.
STARR: Have you ever been on a date with a lesbian?
ME: Uh, hello?!
STARR: Ok, well have you ever been on a date with a gay guy?
ME: No! Have you?
STARR: Well, you should. It's fun!
It was at that moment in time, Starr created a social experiement. Were gays better at dating than straight people? Was dating someone of the same sex easier or harder? I dont know. But what I do know is I have a date with a gay guy this Friday and Starr has a date with a gay girl, something she was only too happy to do. And I have a funny feeling that it's something she's wanted to do for a while now...
