Recycling Men

I used to be the girl who would constantly run back to my ex's after a breakup. My last year in college, I re-slept with all of the boyfriends I had ever had (yes, even the high school bf). After college, I even tried re-starting an old relationship. This time, though, I have a brand new outlook. I will NOT go back to any of my old hook ups, as easy and tempting as is. And that leads me to last night.

I decid to go to one of my favorite bars with a girlfriend so we could catch up and dance out some stress. As I am walking back from the restroom, I run into Mr. Brooklyn! Remember? The 22-year-old fuck buddy I had when I first started dating? So just a little more back story, Brooklyn had been texting me while I was dating SG. He always wanted to come over and called me a "heartbreaker." Anyway, I ignored his texts. So last night, I was a little shocked to see him but give him a hug anyway. Brooklyn's looking good, even cuter than I wanted to admit. He immediately says, "I haven't heard from you in a while." I say, "I thought you didn't hang out at this bar anymore" (this is the bar where we first met where he claims he stopped going to). His response: "I don't. Just decided to come today." And I say, "The truth is you came today because you were hoping for the chance to run into me." Whatta bitch I am.

Later in the night, Brooklyn and I are dancing on the dance floor and he then asks me to go smoke a cigarette with him outside. He leads me around the corner and says, "You know I don't smoke. I just want to make out with you." He then grabs me and we engage in some raw tonguing that is, well, like making out with a 22-year-old. Haha. He then starts to put his hand down my tights and that's when I start getting turned off. I mean, really?! He wants to finger me out in the open in front of a fucking bar? No thanks. I start walking away and he says, "Yue, do I get the privilege of sleeping in your bed tonight." "Nope" I respond without hesitation. He then says, "Then, don't dance with me anymore." "OK."

We go back inside and I start dancing with my friend. Brooklyn decides to buy us shots. Still, I know I'm not sleeping with him. He then tells me, "You broke my heart" as he motions a twisting knife to his heart. Half an hour later, I see him making out with some little blond girl. I also see him taking her home (well probably taking her to her place since he does still live with mommy and daddy).

Anyway, the point is, I feel like a changed woman! I'm not going to revert back to my old conquests because there are good reasons why they never developed into anything more. So, no more recycling of the old, because it's all about the new!
