Play On, Player

Today, while taking a two minute study break on Facebook, I discovered a possible reason that (my "friend" slash compulsive emailer) Charlie hasn't called to reschedule our lunch date.

Charlie's Current FB Status: At it again...
Followup Comment from Womanfriend: Writing me back?
Followup Comment from Different Womanfriend: Me too!

Oh, goodness. Really, women?

I almost left a third comment of my own saying, "Damn, Charlie. How many email girlfriends do you have? I thought I was the only one!"

Except, as we all know, that might be a little too close to reality to be funny. It would also stroke our favorite player's ego in a way that really wouldn't be healthy for anyone involved. The last thing that Charlie needs is to have three women enlisting public pleas for his affection via Facebook.

And now, my professional advice for all parties involved:

Charlie: It is definitely impressive that you can keep up with so many email conversations, but don't flaunt it on Facebook. It's tacky and is going to perpetuate your cycle of singleness. Random Womenfriends: Stop leaving obsequious comments that show that you are not only compulsively refreshing your email, but also, stalking this man on Facebook. It makes you look desperate. Red Stethoscope: Good job cutting this one loose. The smack talk emails were fun, but imagine how hurtful this situation would be if you actually started developing feelings. (Yes, I just spoke to myself in third person. Listen, studying alone for 8-10 hours a day is bound to make any normal person a little bit crazy.)

Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Hah. He's just keeping his options open....

Seriously. Good job for letting him go.

(I'd probably make some bitchy comment)

This is sort of unrelated to this post but I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your blog and your writing style. I have just spent the past hour and a half skimming through your posts (And I say that in the least creepy way possible!). As a twenty year old nursing student we likely have very little in common but this blog is such a nice read and it has definitely been added to my favorites list!

Doctor Blondie-You know I sooo wanted to comment, but it's better to just blog about it here!

Janice-You know I just call it how I see it! He has since removed this post from his wall (I wonder sometimes if he has this address...lol).

ROR-Thank you! You are too kind.

Ah Charlie.
The problem is this world is about an inch and a half big. Meaning, everyone knows everything and if you are going have that crap plastered all over facebook - well your obvious douche-ness (super-duper not a word) is going to shine through. Brightly.
Good for you for getting out of there!
