New and Old Relationships

This Wednesday (today’s Friday) Erin and I decided to go dt. Mike came with us. He came over after I got back from work and I picked Erin up around 11:15 or so. We went to Tony’s and ran into Lisa and Ashley who I introduced Mike to. Mike went off to get a beer while I went to go and get myself a bowl of popcorn and a table. We sat in the back and talked about random stuff. He told his parents about me. His mom is happy that I’m a nice Jewish girl and his Dad is happy because I got Mike handcuffs for Valentine’s Day. Yes…Mike actually told his father that I bought him handcuffs. We talked about sex…He offered to tell me how many people he’s slept with, but I refused to hear it. No matter what the number, I knew I’d get upset. I know he’s not a virgin (I mean, he’s 24 after all) but it always bothers me to think that he’s done things before that he’s doing with me. Not only that, but he had to think about how many people he’s slept with. (“Hey I was drunk with some of them…I don’t know the number off the top of my head”). Lovely. It doesn’t take me long to think about my list: Chris and Henry.

Ashley then came and sat down with us for awhile, Erin and Lisa kept coming by, and I saw Lauren for a grand total of two minutes in the bar. Around midnight Mike had said that he wanted to go to SB, so we got ready to leave. On my way out I told Erin where we’d be going.

We sat at the back of Sports Bar talking about random shit again. Out of the blue he asks, “So how many guys have you been with?” I was kind of taken aback by the bluntness of the question. I didn’t want to tell him at first. He guessed three, which was close enough since it was two. He said that that was a respectable number. That’s a good thing I guess. We spent the rest of the night being silly and talking. Finally we collected Erin and drove home.

When I got back I found several nasty IMs from Lauren. Apparently she thought I was causing drama, ignoring my friends, and just being a bitch in gneral. I ended up crying on Mike’s chest on the couch…I felt so dumb. I hate it when people are mad at me though. Mike was sweet. He asked if I wanted to talk about it or if there was anything he could do to help. I calmed myself down and we ended up watching t.v. The rest of the night is going into a private entry, as usual.
