Embrace that which you fear…

Okay, showing that I have learned nothing from this last summer’s really bad experiences with former lovers, I have just obligated myself to take my second to last ex-girlfriend, whom we’ll call “O” and her current boyfriend (whom we’ll call, “The Guy She Left Me For”) out to dinner.

I feel like I need to do something nice for them, since I kinda’ hate them both. They’re two of the nicest people you’d ever wanna meet, and my hatred of them stems almost purely from the fact they’re still together and happy. Which is really wrong.

A.C. is coming with and that will be interesting as she and O know each other, and while I thought A.C. and I were common knowledge, I’ve just discovered that O has no idea that A.C. and I are a couple.

It’s gonna be weird. I feel like a totally different guy than the one who dated O, and in some ways I like that guy better than I like myself now, but in some ways I really don’t wanna be that guy again, which is I guess why I’ve avoided O for the better part of a year.

I’m sick of avoiding people. Better to run right in to the tiger’s mouth and check out his fillings. Right?
