Switcheroo - Part Deux
I have done the near impossible: I have successfully pulled off the Ol' Switcheroo.
Remember Mr. Metro? Well, on our second not-quite-date (I bought a wing girl), he invited a friend to join us. The friend was GORGEOUS. I mean, couldn't-take-my-eyes-off-him gorgeous. There's just something about a tall, dark-skinned man with great skin that just makes me melt. The friend was a Senegalese Adonis.
I don't remember how the rest of the not-so-date went, because I was completely taken with Mr. Senegal. My wing girl said it couldn't be done. I'd already met him while on a "date" with his friend, and even though we'd only gone on one real date and hadn't even so much as held hands, it was a done deal. "Just strike it up to a loss and move on," she said.
I was tempted to agree...but he was so good looking (noticing a pattern here? LOL). I decided the best way to get in with Mr. Senegal was to invite them all out to an event. I did, but it fell through - twice.
I began to think it was a sign, then Mr. Metro and Mr. Senegal showed up at an event I was attending. I spoke to them both, but couldn't keep the big silly grin off my face when I was talking to Mr. Senegal. One of my friends later told me it was obvious that I was feeling him and he me. Damn, I was trying so hard not to be obvious. LOL. I invited them both to the after party, hoping they'd work it - me - out amongst themselves before they got there. But just in case, I went early and had a few drinks to loosen me up and prepare myself to have the I Know I Went On A Date With Your Friend, But I'm Really Feeling You talk.
They both showed up at the party - Mr. Senegal with a female whom he introduced as his friend. I had another drink. It was totally unnecessary however, since the friend ended up having the personality of a wet rag, and disappeared shortly after.
I started making random conversation with Mr. Senegal; he invited me to "come hang" out with him one day. "When I have an invitation," I coyly replied.
"I'll call you," he said.
"But you don't have my number."
He pulled out his phone, and showed me my number (with my name spelled right).
I guess they had worked it out amongst themselves. LOL. We texted back and forth that night, and he promised to call. He called the next day. Long story short, we'll be going out on a date soon.
Should I have a conversation with Mr. Metro before I go out with Mr. Senegal or just assume it's taken care of?

see, I am very straightforward so I would
But that's just me
Nope alls fair in love and war and all that...
If the friend has an issue, simply say, at least I saved you a wealth of heart break in the long run...thanks for the intro....
Had a metro friend. One day @ my apartment a few years ago, He was talking to this St. Thomas Brownin. He lost a paper he was writing on my p.c. Now mind you he was talking to her on my house phone, and she told him "tell Mr. Yeah, don't make me come down there and get things straight." I replied 'tell Miss St. Thomas she don't want to mess with me.' And this fool told her too! She lived like three lights down the street from me at the time. Long story short after he spent the night at her house and never touched her, I saw her a few months later and it was on like donkey Kong.
I think the three of us understood that one of the metro-sexual rules is... once it gets to the point of 'piss or get off the pot' then it's the hetero dude's duty, if not obligation to take over.
Neither of us discussed it with him and our tryst only lasted a few months, and Mr. metro dropped off of the face of the earth several months later. Thing is my friends and I always got this feeling that he had something to prove, always trying to date every pretty woman in our circle but never actually taking it anywhere. I mean no kissing, no loving, no relationships, just meeting girls.

girl please. that's not your man. he gave dude your number. they're the friends, not you. if you'd had more than one date, yes, but if you're on date no. 2 and bringing in friends, both of you know the deal. no need to chat. you're straight.
Wow, I haven't had this unanimous a decision since yawl told me to go out with Slim Shady. LOL.
If only the Presidential Race could be this easy.
we do come together in times of need...
@CP
Its Funny "All fair in love and war" when you have blogged about being cheated on.
Sorry, SE I love you but some things are just "Not the done Thing"
uhmmm, what thing is not done, Simone? They had one get to know you date, and then a group "date"...apparently dude realized that SE fell into the "friend" category after the first outing, so he was comfortable with giving his boy her number......
*shrugs* quel est le problème?
anyhoo...SE do your thing.
ps, if you speak with Roar, can you let him know I need to get something from him.
Simone, I beg you to expand on what "not the done thing" means.
I went out on a blind date with Mr. Metro. We have a mutual friend, he'd seen a pic of me and wanted an introduction. Never saw him before til when I met him at the restaurant. We chatted - didn't even talk about the relationshippy stuff u usually do when there's chemistry. We talked about fashion and travel. Every time I've seen him since then has been in a group setting. Matter of fact, one of the last times I saw him, he was actually out on a date!
@Search: will do!
Simone: Tis true, but this particular case doesn't involve cheating on anyone. SE Has not bond with anyone....
hee hee
he had your number
I love it!
First am drooling at the pic right there, lush.
Am with CP on this one.
what gc said...I would have been grinning from ear to ear!
