Grrr!! I hate integrity!!

So Halloween night I took my son over to a friend’s house, who also has children, to go trick or treat’n.

It was a great night. We BBQ’d, the kids had fun, got lots of treats and then later on that night we left the kids with a babysitter and went to a local pub.

While there I met a girl who told me she was single. We hit it off. After the bar called last call we all headed back to my friend’s house for some after hours drinking.

After a while of partying my friend and his GF head up stairs for the night leaving me and the new girl alone downstairs.

As I’m sure you’ve guessed by now we start making out. It was a good 30 - 45 minute session. We didn’t take it any further as I was afraid one of the kids might wake up and walk in on us.

By early morning we say our good byes with the intention of getting together this weekend.

So I text her today just to touch base. Where in she texted me this about 20min into our conversation:

Her: …So what made u think about me?

Me: I’ve been think’n about u since the other night. Just c’n if u r still interested in get’n together

Her: * Cool. I’ve been thinking about you too. I have a boyfriend but I was hoping u would text or call. *

Me: Huh? I thought u were single?

Her: It’s cool. Just don’t say noth’n. we can still c each other

Me: * Um, OK.*

[long pause, I was going to stop texting at this point]

Her: * R we still cool? Can we still c each other?*

Me: We’re still cool, but I don’t screw around like that

Her: OK it’s cool

:smack::smack::smack::smack::smack:

Now I’m not trying to imply this girl could have been the love of my life; far from it. But damn! I was so looking forward to some sexy fun time. DAMMIT!!

Oh, and to make this all the more beautiful; I haven’t been laid in six months.

(sigh)

So now are you sorry you didn’t “wake the kids?”:wink:

In all seriousness though, you’re did the right thing IMO. You shouldn’t be ranting against integrity, but against lying lushes.

Dude, go get some action. The only thing you need to worry about is the boyfriend finding out and being some kind of maniac. It’s not like she’s married.

Never forget the adage; 'Everything you’re ever going to be, you’re currently in the process of becoming!"

Now look closely at the two different things you could have taken one step closer to becoming.

You did the right thing, but I think you already know that. And no matter what wise ass remarks come back to you after relating this tale, I think we all know, you could not have done otherwise, because of the man that you are!

Now imagine the man you’re becoming. Awesome!

Bah…

She’s probably a crazy assed bitch you came within inches of knocking up and having to deal with for next 18 years.

Consider it a close call and move on.

Am I the only one a little skeeved out by the idea of a guy making out with a girl when his kids are right upstairs? I mean, I guess you have to do what you have to when you’re single with kids…but I keep trying to think how I’d process this if I were a kid with a divorced parent making out with an almost total stranger downstairs. I mean, if I’d woken up or something. Then again, I hold my parents to pretty scary high standards.

You don’t want to have sex with anybody who can’t spell “see” anyway.

Hey, if my parents hadn’t gone beyond “making out” with me in the next room at least twice, I wouldn’t have brothers!

Some children would be bothered by the discovery that “Dad brought a girl home,” some wouldn’t, I’m sure Shakes wouldn’t have brought the girl home if he’d expected a possible discovery to freak the kids out.

I don’t know, I think there’s something different about parents and a parent and a random hook up. But I guess it’s his decision. As a girl with no kids, the idea of hooking up with a guy with his kids upstairs is really creepy, too.

Take her to the bedroom, close and lock the door and hit it like the fist of an angry god.

You may find this hard to believe, but chances are very good your own parents had sex once.

Won’t somebody think of the children?!

I clarified this in an earlier post. It’s not having sex per se that skeeves me. But having sex with someone you’ve just met is different. I mean, most people who are dating someone don’t introduce their kids till they know it’s serious. Meeting someone and going home with them with your kids right there just seems kind of creepy.

Well, I’ve been more or less single since my kid was 4yo. He’s 11 now. He’s no stranger to seeing Dad with random strangers. Had my older son been there he’d be slap’n me the proverbial high five. (Or trying to. I’d have to pretend to be disgusted by such behaviour.)

I hope I don’t sound like a misogynist for saying this, but in my mind, it seems a lot less threatening for a dad to bring home a woman than it does for a mom to bring home a man.

I thought it was an abbreviation.

It’s a sin against God and your fellow man, is what it is. It makes my eyes want to crawl out of their sockets and jump because life is not longer worth living for them.

Abbreviations use letters from the original word. “C” for “see” is just lazy. (Same for “u” for “you” - lazy.)

Of all the things to get fired up over… this is what puts you in a twist? Abbreviations don’t have to use letters from from the original word. Where did you get that from? The abbreviation for ‘pound’ is ‘lb’. I see nothing wrong with that type of short hand from a cell phone text message. I wouldn’t want to read a story with those abbreviations, but for a one liner; what’s the big deal.

I use an abbreviation to communication w/ my daughters. When the receive a text from that says: ‘?’, it means “Where are you and what are you doing?” Why should I have to type that out every time?

“Lb” is an abbreviation of the word “libra”.

Umm…don’t you pretty much have to do this if you are married with kids, too? Only I would presume the “girl” would be your wife. Is it much less traumatic to see your parents having sex compared with seeing Single Dad hooking up with Hot Chick from the Bar? Either way you get an eyeful of parent bumping uglies.

Well, as I’ve said several times before, it’s not about the making out, just the fact that it’s so random. Like a hook up with someone where it’s a totally one night random thing is different than doing it with your wife/mother of your kids.
