You have to wait for Valentine's Day to feel bad about not having a date? How about every Saturday night?21 years ago, I spent the whole academic year without a date (the campus was full of beautiful and superficial women who liked jocks and frat boys and rich guys). I got some dinner by myself at the school barfeteria because I couldn't afford anything other than the school meal plan, then walked back to the graduate dorm. It was satyurday, and as I walked in a dozen couples walked out into the evening - every girl in the place is in a tiny dress she's "almost wearing " and the guys are smiling confidently, because they are going to "get lucky" tonight. I remember sometime later going to a friend's wedding. Every couple on the wedding was either "Luke and Laura" (from General Hospital ) or Richard Gere and Kim Cattrall or (you pick your favorite). Nobody was more than a size seven and the average bra size was 36. My friend thoughtfully seated me at the singles table. While that was a good thought on his part, he could not have foreseen that the girls at the singles table would bolt at the first opportunity they got and stay as far away from me as possible, lest I waste their valuable time. I spent 90% of dinner sitting by myself because the single ladies were hunting the jocks or the brain surgeons they thought were hiding at some other table. I admit it was hard for me not to get paranoid. I was happy for my friend, of course, but when I left the wedding, frankly, I was pissed. |
