I Dodged a Bullet Last Night

I Dodged a Bullet Last Night


Let me preface this post by saying I have not had my coffee yet this morning.

I am laying in bed with a throbbing headache typing this as we speak. The headache is the result of the bottle and a half of wine that I polished off last evening before, during and after dinner.

Julie is probably my best friend. We met when I interned at my last job. After getting hired we started hanging out having dinner and going to concerts. She's married but her husband hasn't lived with her in almost 5 years so she's always trying to get me to do stuff even when I don't feel like it. Yesterday all I wanted to do was spend the day in bed. Yes, it was one of those days. Actually it's been one of those months.

You see, anniversary dates are rough for some people. My sister died 7 years ago this month. Normally, I am able to get through it but I've been feeling more down lately.

Julie wouldn't hear of me spending the day in bed. She is a lot like a mother when I do something she dislikes. She insisted I take a shower then showed up with stuff for me to make for dinner.

See, I love to cook and she knows I do. It's therapeutic. I made a wonderful dinner and we attempted to watch an artsy movie that drug on for almost 3 hours. While the movie was playing a guy and I struck up a text conversation.

Perhaps I had too much wine. The conversation escalated to flirting, risqué photo sharing and sexual innuendo. We toyed around with each other and I felt myself incredibly turned on. I wanted him. He wanted me.

After Julie left, I invited him over. It was late- almost midnight. I waited for about 45 minutes and he didn't arrive. I texted him goodnight and went to bed alone and unsatisfied.

This morning I received a reply that as soon as he sat down on his couch last night he had fallen asleep. He was deeply apologetic. Secretly, I was kind of glad we didn't have sex last night. It would have been for the wrong reasons. I'm glad I dodged that<b> bullet. </font></b>You know, I should probably thank him.

Have you ever dodged a Bullet and felt relieved you didn't do something?

Absolutely. More times than I can count. Most of them are sexual, but not all of them.

I sort of think of it as a "vibe" that I get. Usually I'll be disappointed that something didn't happen. Then I'll hear about it later on....and be glad. Sort of an "Everything happens for a reason" philosophy.

But for the most part, every guy who gets totally hyped up to meet a woman.....should masturbate. If you STILL want to hook up with her after that...then it is meant to be.

Excellent advice. Guys, are you listening?

Hell yeah! More and more every day and that's a good thing! In the past I wouldn't have even ducked for a bullet and still have the scars to prove it!

I was somewhat reckless in my younger days and it usually came with a price. With age comes wisdom, but apparently for me, there is still a learning curve.

I avoid the bullets, trying not to put myself into predicaments.
I rarely drink so liquid courage keeps one of us thinking reasonably.

It's not good practice to leave a woman hanging when she invites you over for sex. So guiding her to self pleasure over the phone is always fun

Not surprisingly, my libido took a plummet once the hangover began to sink in.

I've dodged many a bullets in my days, but I'm finding myself wanting to step in front of them. I have more regrets of not doing then I do of doing.

Dodging bullets is a lot like a double edge sword. Sometimes you wish you would have risked it and then you regret.

I'm sorry about your sister and yes, anniversaries are hard.

My experience, when I've walked head on into that bullet for all the wrong reasons, is that it makes me feel emptier, more alone, sadder, or whatever I was feeling that led me down that path. I've gotten pretty good at doing the "what will make me feel just a little better?" and that rarely involves other people.

I am curious - did you feel better cooking for your friend? I think I would have been resentful that she pushed so hard.

I hope - one the hangover abates - you feel better! xoxo

I don't need much prodding to cook for someone. I truly enjoy cooking. For me cooking a great meal for someone who truly appreciates it is therapeutic.

I've dodged many a bullet. Although I still sometimes end up choosing to be shot knowing full well that it'll leave a hole.

I'm guilty of taking a few bullets to the heart too. Problem is if you don't act on something, you might spend the rest of your life wondering, "what if?" No regrets, right?

I tend to go from attractive and flirty after a few drinks to drooling and drunk texting when I get to that point so it's kind of a built in defense mechanism that keeps women from sleeping with me when I get to that stage lol.

But since I'm slightly out of your mileage range, feel free to send me texts and risque photos any time

Only if you promise to reciprocate.

My condolences on your sister.

You SHOULD have been down here on Saturday night – dodging the bullet of the snow storm that wasn't (err umm, as I predicted!). Turn out was light, but we still had a good time – and no hangovers come Sunday!

In the beginning it seems like a good idea.....but then there's part about execution.

I'd blame it on the movie.......if it was a better or shorter choice your attention span might have been better. I don't choose the really long ones that often....one really havs to be in the mood for such a time commitment.
