The First Date (Not Mine)

Allison Nazarian

Allison Nazarian

I’m driving with my friend Jeanette the other night.

She was kind of silent and then out of nowhere blurts out,

“I saw [name of my Mr. Ex] out on a date the other night.”

Oh….

Hmmm..

“Ok…details please…,” I say to her.

She tells me she was with her son at a restaurant. She saw my Mr. Ex walking by, considering the restaurant for himself, with a girl. It was obvious, she said, that  they were together. Not just “together” but “together together.”

Hmmmmm….

And when he saw her, my friend, through the window, she thinks he “decided” not to eat there.

Hmmmmm……

And the girl, was of course, tall, thin and with big boobs. Of course! Of course! Did I say….of course!?

Hmmmm…

Thinking…..

Gauging my emotions…..

I’m OK. No anger. No pissiness. No jealousy. Not even much curiosity. Just my usual “As long as she is nice to my kids” sentiment and that was it.

I didn’t ask my friend more, and there wasn’t really more to know: He is single. I am single. He deserves to have fun and enjoy, as do I. And why not enjoy tall and thin (and all the rest)!?

I was proud of myself. No rude comments or mean thoughts. I’m all about the light and love……

Just don’t tell me if you spot my Mr. Ex on another date. I don’t want to know!

And please don’t be like the kind-of-tacky friend who emailed me for Mr. Ex’s phone number so he and his wife could set him up with a single female friend. I’m nice and loving, but prefer to use my matchmaking abilities elsewhere.

  • I dont understand why a man would let a dream come true like you go anyway - sorry but that is how I see it. Hope you are not mad at me for being honest, open and a little bit blunt.

    The "kind-of-tacky friend" you mentioned, not really a friend at all. Maybe his friend, not yours. Real friends don't do tacky stuff like that. They respect both of you, and your feelings.

    Just my observation...
