This is a story about three guys A, B, and C. A, may or may not be a ravishing, well educated, gay, nice guy who might or might not blog in Erie, PA. B, is an object of A’s desires. Cute, funny, awkward and has always struck a chord with A. He also may or may not be gay. C, is A’s gay friend that was made aware of A’s attraction to B.
Recently in a conversation C let A know B was in fact gay considering A and B have not come out to each other. What C failed to mention is that he found out B was gay was when C went over to his place to “cuddle” with B (B had invited him over and C went over despite knowing A’s feelings for C). By the way A doesn’t necessarily believe C when he says he “cuddled.” Yesterday C told A what he had done.
A is now a wide range of emotions. While not angry over B asking C over (considering neither of them are out to each other, even though A and B have gone out a couple of times), A finds himself questioning the trustworthiness of C now. A wonders why C couldn’t keep his libido in check and let lying dogs sleep. A also is upset with himself for several reasons. One, a mutual friend of A’s and C’s has said time and time again that C likes to “stir the sauce” and cause problems. Two, when B and C first met A had a gut instinct telling him trouble was on its way. In nature the male sex of a species is always more decorated with bright colors and feathers to attract females. When A, B, and C were at dinner on said night C definitely put on a show to attract a suitor…ahem…B, despite saying he wasn’t. What did A do, ignore his instinct and believe C. Thirdly, A knew that C once slept with C’s best friend’s boyfriend and yet did not take that into consideration. Finally, A’s upset with himself because he trusted C and was excited to have such a “good friend” to hang out with. A is feeling a bit scorned by C. The signs were all there; A should have seen this one coming like bag of bricks (but ignored the obvious) and is trying really hard to figure out why C did this. Could it be that C liked B? Could it be that C wanted something he knew he shouldn’t want? A thinks C is just a fucking asshole that likes to burn his bridges and then can’t figure out why he is ostracized by people and can’t find a nice boyfriend. A could potentially be over C at this point in time. Overall, A is upset with himself because this is the first time this has ever happened to him, knew better yet was blindly optimistic, and is coming to the stark realization that when you play with fire you get burned.
7 days into the New Year and A is beginning to feel that 2009 isn’t going to be all that it’s crack up to be…
A feels that perhaps there should be a joke in here about minding your P’s and Q’s but couldn’t find a good place to fit it in.
If I were A, C would get a fist in the face… but I am not a good example of how to behave.
@matthew thompson Somehow A feels that you reacted just the way he should have reacted when this whole mess occured! A thanks you though for your aggressive response!
