A guy I sort of new had just been initiated into his fraternity. We ran into each other shortly after and he asked me to his first formal so I said sure...I didn't really know the guy, and he was a few years younger than me, but hey...a chance to get dressed up, and if we didn't hit it off...no harm done. Well, we had fun, but I wasn't really interested. However, he was, and on the way home he asked me if I'd go out with him again.
So here I'm stuck in the car, thinking...I can't ruin this guy's first formal by turning him down..I'll go out with him one more time...let him down easier then...
Well, that didn't end up happening...my poor bleeding heart couldn't bear to hurt this guy's feelings... so we ended up being together for like, 3 months before I sucked up the courage to break things off with him, and then I felt so bad for dragging it on so long
I probably could have done it sooner if his brothers weren't so cool...I didn't want them to hate me, which they ended up not anyway...I found out later they were suprised we stayed together for so long when we were so different! (esp. the age difference...junior to freshman when I'm used to dating guys that are done with grad school!)
