We had a birthday party for one of our ruggers today. It was a very frustrating day, and I didn't have as much fun as I wished I could have. First of all, Betty was at the party, but she was there with her boyfriend, and I felt like she was acting really distant towards me. So then I got all paranoid, like she regretted hooking up, or that maybe she had decided she didn't really like me after all. All of this made me extremely annoyed, so I decided to flirt with the cute sister of one of my friends (coincidentally, she's a Smith grad, for any of you who care).
I was getting along real well with the sister, and I suddenly started thinking, "Hey, maybe things will work out with this chick, so that after Betty leaves, I can move on to this girl (who we'll call Alison)." Then I come to find out that, yes, she has a girlfriend, and yes, said girlfriend is present at the party. At this point, I am really frustrated, because I realize that all the fucking bisexual and bi-curious women who seem to be at every turn are all either too scared to go through with it, or they are already taken.
Needless to say, I was feeling pretty miserable, especially since everyone around me seemed to be having so much fun. It sucks to be the killjoy at a party, so I tried to keep my misery to myself and smile nice and all. Still, Betty cornered me at one point, so we ended up talking for awhile about why I was upset. I explained that she was being really confusing towards me -- one day she's pulling me into the bathroom for a frantic makeout session and the next it's all cold turkey. She apologized and said that it was just hard because the boyfriend was there and all our friends were lurking around, so there was no good time to be together. All of this is fine, in theory, but the reality of it still sucks. Then she tells me that she got all upset when she saw me talking to Alison, because it made her really jealous. And on one hand, it was sort of nice to hear, because I was a little bummed watching her with her boyfriend, and knowing that she cared about me was nice. But on the other hand it was frustrating, because she and I obviously really like each other, but there's nothing to be done about it.
In other news, I found out that yet another girl on my team who I have a minor crush on (nothing to the extent of the Betty crush, thank god) is a bisexual. *Sigh*...yet another girl to torture me....
