It’s finally happened. My friends have lost faith in my ability to find a man.
Like a tee ball right fielder relies on mom’s unfailing encouragement, I came to count on my friends for the pep talk. “Sure, this one might not totally suck, go for it.”
No more.
Me: Want to meet BeauWhoMakesMeSoGushyYouCan’tStandMeTheseDays?
Ely: I thought we met, in front of your house?
Me: Wasn’t he hiding in the bedroom naked?
Ely: Hmmm no he wasn’t naked when I thought I met him.
Me: I’m sure you no longer bother committing names to memory.
Ely: Sometimes that’s true.
Instead of finding hope in my current happiness, my friends avoid me these days. I can’t blame them. They’re already scouring XStreet for a Sorry He’s an Asshat pick-me-up bouquet. When your love life is like so many Kansas City Royals seasons, a few promising starts but never able to maintain the momentum, even your most loyal supporters stop saying maybe next time, slugger.

My opinion is that you have to give yourself a chance and give your new guy a chance to prove you wrong. Sure, for every nice guy with good and truthful intentions, there are a hundred asshats ready to make us look like the worst trash in the world, but that is the unfortunate lottery that is life.
As a lifelong NY Mets fan, I find myself giving them a chance every year, even the ones in which they finish dead last. It’s a long shot but you never know when things will turn around and surprise you.

I am surprised more each day, in a good way. So I’m willing to give him a chance.
