Oh, but it did! It really did happen. I swear! And I used to think that these kinds of things happen to everyone. I am now realizing that they don't.

For your sake, I'm sorry I left Chester in the Dave & Buster's parking lot, never to be heard from again.

For my sake, I'm glad I ended my fling with what was sure to be disaster. I'm pretty sure I can answer one of your questions, though - Chester and his brother almost certainly never shared boyfriends. In fact, I probably should have known it was never going to go anywhere when Chester and I went to see a movie. In a very crowded theater. And the only two seats together would put us smack-dab between two men. Chester wouldn't sit there. He refused to be that close to another man. He didn't want anyone to think he was gay. Really?!? In a crowded movie theater? Sitting next to a stranger? That makes people think you're gay? And who cares if they think that? And who cares if you are? Well... I guess I cared, since we were trying to date each other. But really!?!

When he made us sit apart from each other so that he didn't have to sit next to a man, I knew it wasn't going anywhere. But I stuck with it for one more date. And aren't you glad I did?
