Ha!
They can't forget me!
Had a lovely friends-"date" with Camden last night, turns out he missed me despite the mystery woman.
I got the first round of bubbly in, then it was his turn, bleed, happy hour, bleed!

I enjoyed just being his "mate", it felt natural, comfortable and I could be nearly as blatantly outspoken and honest as I can be with my gay friends.
Turns out, his mystery girl hasn't had sex with him yet but they are in a "relationship". Go figure.
Maybe she has been abused or something in the past, I mean it's been 2 months and the only past (semi-traumatic) relationship she told him about was 10 years ago...
He's done the whole "woo and spoil" thing but she's only rang him twice...
Either she knows how to play the game really well (I certainly don't), or she's "just not that into him"...

Who knows. We got drunk and I told him of my woes with Cashmere and young Chubby and tight Dance boy, and of my theories of multiple-dating til THE ONE comes along.
I mentioned how grateful I was when he went shopping for me after my surgery, and how disappointed in Cashmere for not picking me up from the hospital. He said he'd felt really comfortable with me and it was lovely just hanging out and cuddling, and he'd really got into Desperate Housewives.
I DIDN't mention I'd slept with Cashmere only the night before in the same bed, but as he well knows I kicked him out at the end of DH and after his fingers had started grazing the top of my shaven thatch.
A girl's gotta have some moral integrity...

Tonight's the night with Mystery girl- she will have to give him some direction and a reason why their relationship hasn't developed further. He also said: "She'd better go Dutch with me!"
He met her after me so she must be special to him, she certainly has him running around with all the rejection of his sexual advances and mystery.
Good luck to them I say!

After our meal as the only guests in an abandoned curry house he walked me to the bus stop and I could tell he wanted to get close, but couldn't because we are friends and he is such a decent bloke. He took a large step back and sighed.
I mean, I'm NOT the one in a committed (and sex-free) relationship!
I like him though and won't risk it, I am glad it's now gone into the friendship lane so we can both relax.

THE FUNNIEST THING:

I am letting Cashmere writhe like a sad wet fish on my hook.
I am fed up with his hot and cold, close-as-two-peas/different-continent-no-contact treatment so I have invited his DAD to an art exhibition tonight, but NOT HIM! His dad rang me to confirm, result!
Canada and the Daddy friend are also coming, as is my Neighbour.
He's been emailing. I ignored him.
He text me, I ignored it.
So now I am waiting for the call- which I'll also ignore.

Men love bitches apparently, but when I tried to buy the book ("why men love bitches" as recommended by one of my avid readers )yesterday it was sold out- despite having been in the bargain bin at 2.99 only days before- damn!!!
