Two nights ago I saw this chick out that I knew from social circle, who had been dating my friend. She's a HB7, independent, smart, and loves hip hop almost as much as I do. Last time I saw her a few months back her boyfriend was being a shitty bf (not in the traditional sense, I mean he wasn't leading / showing her any attention / being attractive), while personally I was feeling myself (I was in the middle of a small streak) and she invited me to go out with her alone. And she was eye fucking me and saying how I always know what to do. Aka my bf is being lame, you're hot, dominate me. I didn't out of respect to my friend.

Sooo, I'm drunk on thursday and see her out.

I was having a bad night - lots of work with exams and my research project. Just not on my game. When I saw her, I perked up a little bit.

I waltz over and do that playful tap on the opposite shoulder, then she turns around and I'm there smiling.

Her: Oh my god! Haha hey Hueman I was like what the fuck who tapped me?
Me: Gotcha (;
Me: How've you been? It's been forever.
Her: Oh.. good. Super busy with my internship.
Me: Oh, the same one?
Her: Yea
Me: I thought you loved it, you were so excited when you got in!
Her: Yea it's great! All the blah blah blah (stale topic but she tries to be jubilant)
Me: I guess I would know if I'd been around! My b, [boyfriend] always calls me and I never get around to seeing him haha, its..
Her: [blankface LP]
Me: ...
Her: You don't know?
Me: You...guys.. broke up.
Me: Oh.
Her: Yea
Me: I had no clue..
Me: Was it..
Her: Well he just got so bad that I wouldn't put up with it anymore! You can only put up with things for so long.
Me: Damn. Well, good to know.

we stare at eachother in silence for about 5-7 seconds.

Me: So, who's your friend?

She introduces me to her friend and I introduce my homie. I get drinks with my dude afterwards and give him the run down of the dynamic I'm in. He poses me a simple question, "is her ex here right now?". I shake myself into saying to myself "fuck it, they just broke up - if I put my dick in her / bust some kind of move, Iogically there's no issue".

I go back to her and talk, being a litttle bit more flirty. There was a moment where she stood the way girls do when their ready to be submissive / compliant, but her facial expression wasn't congruent.

Somehow the boyfriend comes up again and she shows a little bit more emotion then earlier, and I swivel my chair facing the bar and go, "[name], sit down". In the moment I was going to say something about how I'm not surprised and then, idk see where it went depending on her reaction. Essentially setting up a frame where I knew what was going on and why.

However, she didn't. Idk if her friend grabbed her, or she walked over herself, but then I see her standing with her friends 15 ft to the right of me.

To make matters worse it's mixed bag of people with some in my social circle, some in hers. I wait around a bit before going back to my friend and catch a glimpse of her talking to a girl that I went on a date with (I got her number blacked out, texted her, couldn't find her social media, set up a wine date at her house to see she was a HB5, drank her wine and left --> douche).

On my way out (I was heading home) I tap her and say we should go out to [bar] like good old times and she's down.


Next day


I ping her over text, then ask if she can talk on the phone. She can and then calls me twice, immediately. I miss the first one, then pick up the second in a playful, fun way. She's serious. For some reason she got the vibe I was in trouble or something. So, I have to jump right to the reason I'm calling and ask her if she wants to get coffee.

Without skipping a beat she says that she doesn't feel like she'd be respecting her ex to even be SEEN with any of his friends, because she still respects him as a person - whether the outing be platonic or romantic (not her exact words, I'm paraphrasing).

I pause and say, "ah. yea okay, I can definitely sympathize with that". Then she says maybe once she figures things out (they haven't talked since the breakup) we could do something. I basically reiterate that back to her and switch subjects, then end on the best positive note I could.

Man oh man did I feel like a sleazebag when I hung up.

I mean, I have deniability with this, but I know it's bullshit. This girl is pretty awesome and really did deserve better than her boyfriend, at least that's how I see it. That's still pretty hard betrayal if I got with this chick, and I didn't think twice about it. Not that I have it in the bag by any means. Pretty cold responses by her.

To be honest I don't value this guys' friendship all that much, but he's somewhat close to part of my family.

Wanted to get this out somewhere. Yeesh. Do I have a warped view of monogamous relationships because most of mine have been polygamy?

Later that day I went on to meet a pretty awesome girl at a bar - but for personal preferences I'm not gonna type that up. Maybe if it's a LR.


Keep on rollin,

Hueman

Hey Hueman,

I went through something similar and even deeper than your situation. Managed to pull it off to literally going to a hotel with this girl (where we did everything else but fuck as she refused last second). This made me feel like a completely douche (which I am) for a month, I still feel bad to this day and every time she pings me or I see her I lose it.

My advice is - just don't go there at all. No matter how hot this girl is or how awesome it is. Unless you plan to marry her, it really is NOT worth it. Even if you are on a bad streak and it feels like an easy hot piece of sex, it will most likely break your brain and potentially a friendship. Moreover, it will damage your image/reputation either way.

There's several billion girls out there - it will be harder, but it will save you a lot of brain cells.

Shadow,

Hey man sorry to hear you were in deeper trenches with this. Makes it even worse if you more or less fail at being a sleazebag, right?

That's basically what I concluded. I met a girl I have the hots for even more that night, and have other ways of getting pussy for the hedonistic side.

It's way easier to go forward then it is to go backward.

I'm afraid to see my friend again though. He's a loose social circle friend, but knowing that I just disrespected him like that.. it's just so ingenuine. I'm debating just coming clean before it's an issue, and owning it, as opposed to crossing my fingers the grapevine doesn't make it to him.

Tell me about it :) Properly broke my mentality for a while.

In terms of the friend - to be honest in your case I'd just keep it down. Nothing has really happened and there isn't explicit romantic intention from your side anyway.. Just forget about it and delete her number.

Word. Probably for the best.
