Urge To Merge

Remember ELLIOT? The friend of a friend who made me laugh a lot? We stopped making out, and a friendship seamlessly began…or so I thought. In recent weeks he’s been very flirtatious. I took it as a friendly gesture until today when he invited me to go to a show with him tonight by saying, “I am wooing you again. Go out with me.” With winter approaching, it is all too tempting to nest with a familiar character.

Apparently I am not the only one with this thought. Single people are rabid in this weather! Everyone is wearing their best outfit at all times, going out every night, and admitting their crushes within earshot of their crushes.

I must admit, I love every second of it. Not only am I enjoying the extra attention, but this big game of musical chairs is exciting to watch.

My sights are mildly set on NIELS [the artist living in France], but am entertaining mating season just a little…there’s a new guy at work I’ve been winking at here and there. And ELLIOT's advances are not entirely lost on me.
