Bob

At some point in most girls' lives, they will make a mistake. Obviously, they will make lots of mistakes, but there will usually be a mistake named after another person. Like, "what do you consider your biggest mistake?" "Bob." Bob, of course, is not a mistake, he's a person. It's being around Bob, doing things with Bob, when for some reason you know you shouldn't. Maybe he's otherwise committed, or maybe you are. Maybe Bob's not a very nice guy. Maybe your friend has a thing for Bob, or maybe you just know that Bob isn't right for you.

The problem here, of course, is that you're with Bob anyway. And you probably have a reason that's halfway justifiable but wouldn't exactly hold up in a court of law. I write this, of course, because I have a Bob. Let's call him...Alex. I don't have feelings for Alex, nor does he for me. We're friends...that happen to cuddle and sleep next to each other now and again. Nothing else happens...and it's just that he's warm and I don't like to sleep alone...And he tells me how beautiful I am and how much he enjoys being with me...And here, we have my halfway justifiable reason that doesn't stand up to any sort of attack. Bottom line? Alex is a bad decision. Maybe not now. No one is emotionally involved right now. But everything I've heard leads me to believe that it eventually heads down that road. Directly or indirectly, it messes with your chances at a relationship. Is that true? I don't know. What do I know?...That Alex is warm.

With love and bad decisions,
