So my ex-coworkers decide that we should meet up for one last happy hour shindig before I say goodbye. I invite another former cowoker who quit back in December because she’s so…fun. So, after I get tired of kickin’ it with the white people, the former coworker and I decide to head to a party that her friend Reg was having at his newly purchased home. We get to Reg’s house and I keep thinking how familiar his ass looks. I KNOW him from somewhere but can’t figure it out. Well, after the 3rd round of getting my ass kicked in Spades it dawns on me…this Reg is the same Reg that an old college friend used to date. Now he’s pursing my former coworker!
So once I make the connection I bring it to his attention and he tells me that he remembers me, and that he still talks to the old college friend, but that she stayed in Pittsburgh and is involved with some (loser) guy, and decided to buy a house there. Ew, Pittsburgh is the wackness. Anyway, what I remembered most about Reg is that he used to drive 6 hours from Philly to Pittsburgh rather frequently to see the old college friend…and she was NOT having sex with him. I asked him what made such a nice guy like him go out of his way for an immature chick who wasn’t even giving him any, nor was she willing to commit to the type of relationship he was looking for. He didn’t really have an answer. I remember trying to convince that girl to seriously consider Reg as a long-term mate. She would brag about all the things he would do for her despite him not getting any cho-cha from her. But really, he always struck me as a genuinely good guy that any woman with some damn sense would want to build with. I don’t ever meet guys like that but I’ll be damned if immature "let me see what I can get this dumb nigga to do for me" type chicks don’t pull those types all the time. So Reg and I talked about that for a bit and I told my friend/ex coworker whom he’s currently interested in to forget her dumb ass, non-commital baby-daddy and grab ahold of this guy — he’s really a good one. I hope my advice is heeded this time!
