Recent weekend adventure made me start to wonder why or when the golden rule of "Honesty being the best policy" got thrown thrown out the window; apparently of a very fast moving car that never once thought to look back.
I'll give you the scenario; a fun night out with the girls filled with bubbles, giggles, and dancing at the favorite spot. Everything was going great, the DJ had been playing some sweet jams from today and back in the school day. Somewhere between the shots and dance floor I had lost my ladies; upon the thorough search for their where abouts I came across two very attractive guys enjoying their evening. As I was walking by they stopped me for a chat; I figured the best way to find something that was lost was by staying in one spot and waiting for them to find me.
I stayed and chatted; they seemed like funny/good guys, one was more intriguing than the other...Fast forward to an hour later; club closing (my ladies found me; just so you know) and everyone was going their own way; Cute Guy #1 (who will forever more be known as CG1) and I decided to go the same way...To my house.
We chatted, we flirted, we kissed; he told me all about how he's this stand up guy who recently was burned by an ex 3 months ago; I was smart enough to enquire what he was looking for; testing the waters to see if he was in rebound mode, he swore that he wasn't that type of guy. He proceeded to tell me how he had seen me several months previous out a different club and how he was super excited to see me this night and how I seemed like such a great girl. CG1 and I shared more stories, kisses, and such; eventually ending up in the bedroom where I'll leave it to your imagination to fill in the blanks.
After some cuddling and kisses he explained that he had to go due to his dogs having been in the house for almost 8 hours and needed to be let out; that's cool, I get it. He made me take his number, wanted me to call him, he was going out of town for the following 2 days but wanted to see me again. He explained that he's not a game player and really wanted me to call him the next day...So, I did...
No reply, not even an awkward text message; WTF. Now, I'm not a naive girl; I'm actually very honest and up front and appreciate those that share the same philosophy; if CG1 would have been up front and said; "just got out of a relationship 3 months ago, and I'm not looking for anything serious." I would have been cool with; I could respect the honesty.
What is it about honesty that scares people; at what point did we all decide that everyone needed to be handled with kid gloves? I'm personally trying to put an end to this epidemic. Be honest, tell the truth; we've been taught this since birth and I don't know why we seem to avoid the rule and are scared to hurt someones feelings. At this point in my life; I'm old enough to learn the truth in all situations; if the truth about Santa Clause didn't kill me on the spot, the fact that CG1 is just looking for a night of fun wouldn't have made it any less fun. Man up CG1
I stand true to the golden rule; honesty is the best policy!
Until the next go round...
