are you comfortable? do you have a drink? you might then want to sit back and take joy in my embarrassment!

the day before new years eve, one of my very good friends was dumped. anyone knows that being dumped is never a joyous occasion and especially not right upon new years. to make matters worse, he then turned up at the new years party that we went to. as a loyal friend, i took it upon myself to have words and to inform him in my rather champagne-fuelled state that he would never find someone as good as her again. i know, you’re cringing already aren’t you?

the next day, my friends were teasing me and telling me all about how he was rolling his eyes as if being told off by a teacher at school. for this reason, when i next bumped into him a few days later in a bar, i apologised profusely and said that i’d been drinking and just felt responsible for my friend.

to my shock, rather than just dismiss me, he told me how nice i was. at that stage, i thought he had a bit of a funny look on his face, but didn’t really twig. before i get a chance to even think about what’s going on, his hand is on the base of my back and he’s trying to kiss me. immediately i went bright red with anger, removed his hand and told him that my apology was now officially revoked. pure shock is the only way that i can describe the expression on his face.

having gone straight to my friend (not the one that was dumped!) and told her about the whole situation and we decided that a stiff drink could be the only way forwards. when we had the sunday ritual of all girls at my apartment assessing the shananigans of the night before, i asked my friend if she could remember what had happened and she did, although no one had seen “the ex” in there. my friend decided it was best at this point to check with his friend that he was actually there that night and it turned out he wasn’t. i had only gone and apologised, got angry again and revoked my apology from some random stranger that looked the same…

i think it’s safest for me to stay in for a while, yikes! welcome to my world…
