In what's become a bit of an amusing story, a friend of mine wants me to dust off my homewrecker hat.
Last week, I made plans to go out with a friend of mine on Tuesday night. She's a good friend and I went to school with her husband, who's easily one of my best friends ever. Problem is, that we've been drifting apart a bit for the last while because they're always busy doing married things and I'm always busy doing NOT-married things, hahaha. That's what happens when you're a social butterfly.
When we were making plans, she mentioned a new co-worker might come along on Tuesday. I'd never met this girl. She smirked and said "You'll like her." and I can't remember a time when this friend said that to me and was wrong. She knows what kind of girl I like, which is funny because I sometimes have a tough time figuring out what I'm even looking for.
The only other things I was told about her were: "She's blonde." and "She's cute."
Sold.
She was also like "I've been talking you up." and "I was pointing you out in our wedding pictures (note: I was a groomsman for them last year) and she wants to meet you."
As it turned out, this girl couldn't make it on Tuesday night because her mom needed help with something or other.
Last night, I was out with that friend and she mentioned this girl again. Then, I found out more information.
"She kinda has a boyfriend right now... but he treats her like crap."
I told her that she knows I don't really care if she already has a boyfriend.
Then, this conversation followed:
Her: "I told her, if she ever wants to move out, I'll be over right away to help."
Me: "... WAIT! She LIVES with her boyfriend?"
Her: "Ya, but I don't know how much longer she'll stay with him."
She then brought up a couple of my more memorable affairs that involved me being a homewrecker.
It's something I used to be pretty darned good at. I'd stumble across sweet girls that get treated like shit by their boy and find ways to steal them away.
I had a shockingly high success rate, although I never really managed to make it work to my benefit long-term. Some girls eventually went back to their boyfriends/husbands. Some girls eventually wanted nothing to do with their ex OR me. Some girls I eventually lost interest in and ditched.
For the last two years or so, I've been quite well-behaved when it comes to being a homewrecker though. I had opportunities to make use of my skillz, but, for a variety of reasons, I've generally steered clear (with only a couple of exceptions, hahaha, such as my cougar in Winnipeg that I accidentally made fall in love with me).
Anyways, this friend of mine is fully encouraging me to try breaking them up, although I suspect she's being a little selfish in her reasons. Not only does she want to see her co-worker happy and me happy, I think she probably also misses having me around all the time and wants me to hook up with her friend because then I can do married-type things with her and her husband. Maybe that's not actually being selfish though. Maybe it's just win-win-win-win.

Hahahaha. What guy starts planning to break up a couple before he even meets or sees the girl, just because a friend thinks they'd make an awesome couple? I'll tell you who. Me.
I totally did that another time when a friend told me all about this hot friend that was dating a loser. She wanted me to break them up and I was like "I've never met her, but okay.", hahaha. She turned out to be one of the sweetest girls I've ever met.
They'd been together for like six years. Breaking them up was a total soap opera and didn't take long at all. Everybody was in on it, except him. They only broke up for a short time though. A fun time, but a short time. She lost nearly all of her friends, who only wanted to see her happy, because she found it too tough to start over with a new guy and nobody could deal with being around him. Sigh. I miss that girl, even though it's my own fault for giving up too easily, but she just wasn't wasn't strong enough to make a change.
So, ya, this should get kinda interesting.
