A Note on the Guy Code and a Question

An update on last night's craziness. Apparently while I disappeared for half an hour in the bathroom line, the interesting model-looking Canadian girl was seen snogging another guy, possibly Mark, my friend's friend who I might have thought was my mate too. Which raises two questions:

1) If he was the snogger in question, is Mark guilty of breaking the Guy Code? I was definitely talking to her first, though I got the inkling that they might have met before. He was at the very least trying to get with her...

2) If it was her (and three of my friends believe it was), should I write this girl off as a slag/slut and not call her?

Answers Below...

1) No. If he was a close friend of mine and/or I had a real history with this girl, he should have stayed away. But neither of these was the case, so it's every man for himself.

2) Yes. The girl only met me that night, she doesn't owe me anything. If we were out on a date and she kissed someone else, that would be a different story. And she stayed with me way after Mark (or whoever it was) left, and we shared a cab home. Ultimately it's so difficult to meet anyone with even a hint of potential. Not that it's an excuse, but we were all a little drunk.

What do you think? Am I deluding myself more than usual?

In a way, it might be a good thing. I really liked this girl, and was getting a little caught up in the idea of her, making me a little nervous, which could potentially mess up Next Steps. But this little reality check put a spanner in the works which might allow me to Calm The fuck Down and move forward with a little more caution, patience, and, dare I say it... cool.

But either way, Mark is going down. I've already competed with him over another girl. I came out ahead on that one, but quickly lost interest in her. The chase, as they say, is on.
