I don't believe it either, but I find myself slowly entering a relationship. We all know that I'm not a big believer in love. And while I do enjoy the company of this special lady, she's not my best friend (at least not yet). I don't mind spending time with her, but it seems like we're together practically everyday. The past three nights we spent together because both of our friends flaked out on us and we had nothing to do. Why is it harder to count on your friends than a significant other? It seems like my friends are always busy now and I can't even count on them for bail money (yet Man Law dictates bros before ho's).

Yesterday I was hoping to catch a movie with Fabio, but he was busy with work. I called Green Monster, but he was working late at his job. And even though I wanted a night free from the girl, I found myself at the Starbucks drinking coffee with her.

Are people drawn to relationships because they fear being alone? That's the great thing about having a significant other: you can always count on them being there when you want something to do. It's like a personal friend who is available at your beckoning whenever you need em. It's awful thing to say, but it's true.

I can't explain it. My friends are like never available to hang out with me. Work, school, other social engagements--it doesn't matter. I feel like I can count on my friends once every couple of weeks. But the girl is always there.

Why is that so? Do people make more exceptions and become more available to their beau? Couples rarely go through the schedule issues I suffer with Green Monster. Availability isn't an issue with me. If Green Monster wanted, I would be just as available to him as I am to the girl. And it's not because of preference. The same could be said for Fabio--and Fabio dates. He always has a ho or two in the bag. Would he prefer my company or rather hang out with a chik? If you take out the sex factor, I'm pretty sure guys would much rather spend their time with other guys. The Will & Grace relationship isn't common amongst straight men.

The point is, I know having a gal in my life means I never hafta worry about sitting at home alone being bored. If I wanna be with her, I can. That shouldn't be the basis of a relationship...but I wonder if that's why a lot people are in one.
