SAME STUFF, DIFFERENT COLOR
Today’s reader finds herself in an awkward competition. Me and my best friend, who is a gay guy, went out for drinks one night to scope out some men. Five cosmos later, we had both found one. Unfortunately, we both had our eye on the same guy. This isn’t a problem we run into often, so we decided to turn it into a friendly competition. We expected the guy to choose between us, but it turned out we were both options. “I don’t have a preference,” he said. “I’m bisexual.” So now the competition had heated up and I was downing drinks and flirting shamelessly. He said he wanted to go home with me so I was pretty happy that I had beat out my friend until on the way home I realized that I was on my period. I didn’t want to admit that I should have just let my friend go home with him because he wouldn’t have had this problem.
