Update: That Funky Feeling

They say if you speak on something you can bring it into reality. Well, my post about my dysfunctional FWB relationship has definitely done that. While I appreciate the great advice that was given, my decision to walk away was solidified by a conversation that I had with my FWB at about three o'clock this morning. We had gotten together last night to do that thing that we do. As I was getting ready to leave, she says to me that she has something to tell me and she hopes that it won't change our relationship. You know a brother's mind started racing, "Is she going to tell me that she has some STD?...Nah, she wouldn't do that. This is Atlanta though. I should have asked to see some baby pictures." I put my bag down and brace myself for something awful. She proceeds to tell me that she has been dating a guy all along and that a couple of weeks ago they decided to become "exclusive". Oh, I also heard her say that she still wanted us to get together from time to time...WHAT???

A few questions came to mind immediately:

1. If you have a boyfriend, why have you been acting so jealous about who I spend my time with?
2. What makes you think that I would knowingly sleep with somebody's woman?
3. Where is this dude right now and should I make a quick sprint to my car to avoid the gunfire?

The only response I could muster to this Easter speech was, "I guess this is goodbye then because I don't want that kind of karma." She said she understood but has since sent me a couple of texts saying that we need to get together to talk. At this point, I haven't responded.

Well, I guess I'm back to some lotion, a glass of Hennessey, and Jake Steed's Hoes & Flows #24.

Why You Gettin' Funky On Me?

Hey fam! How have you been? I've been good. Watched some good football over the weekend and Monday night. I officially joined the gym and made my first couple of visits to workout. Who are those chicks, that come in fully made-up wearing something scandalous then stand around and flirt for two hours? I'm not mad, just can't believe that someone would spend their Saturday morning doing that mess. I've started to notice that my first entry of the week is never before Tuesday. I think it has something to do with how much I drink on the weekends. What good is a weekend if you don't push back some shots of Patron or a couple Hurricanes (or Slurricanes, as my boy E calls them!)?

If you haven't guessed already, I am a big fan of the Atlanta Hawks. I'm a loyal fan of a usually horrible team but it helps that the arena is usually full of some of the best looking women that Atlanta has to offer. About a month ago, I meet a very beautiful sister at a game. I spotted this young lady and a couple of her friends talking to a couple of brothers during halftime. I was immediately attracted to her because she has a gorgeous smile, a cute haircut, a nice shape with a future behind her, and some really fly boots. I'm always a sucker for a mean shoe game. I'm checking her out while I am standing in the long ass line at the concession stand. It became obvious that the two guys were making the moves on her friends which left her to stand there looking so damn sexy all by herself. Why they weren't trying to get with her, I couldn't explain. However, that was all I needed to see. After getting my food, I made my move. We chatted for a minute, exchanged numbers, and then headed to our respective sections of the arena. Unfortunately, the Hawks lost that night but I left Phillips Arena feeling like a winner.

I'm not really one of those people who believes in waiting two or three days before calling a woman after getting her phone number. So, I make the call the following evening. We have a pleasant chat; exchanging the basic background information that you do when trying to get to know someone. Where your from, where you went to school, blah...blah...blah..! After a few of these conversations we agree to meet up that Sunday afternoon to check out an exhibit at the High Museum. The date is nice. Good conversation. She laughed at my corny jokes and everything. There just wasn't that spark that made me think that we could be a couple. Oh, that is one of my problems when it comes to dating. I don't have any patience.

Fast forward two weeks later, she and I continued to talk on the phone but no other dates had taken place. However, our conversations have progressively gotten more and more sexual in nature. By this time, both of our curiosities had been peeked. So we make the decision to get together for a little sexual seduction at the local Snooky's Motor Lodge. Let's just say that ole girl has all the qualities listed here. We both agree that if we aren't going to be a couple we could at least keep doing the grown up. Don't act like I'm the only one who's every had a FWB relationship!

Why do I have to be the one man in the world who had to start a friends with benefits relationship with a chick who gets jealous when I tell her I've got a date? I thought the benefit of this type of thing is that you get together when it is convenient and there are no feelings involved. If the loving wasn't so good, I would end this thing with the quickness. It's just not that easy to walk away from a woman with some mean throwback. Can somebody please give me the rules for this type of thing?
