So about a month ago, one of my better friends since high school needed a place to stay for the summer.  My dad and I have a place together that has an extra bedroom so I offered it up til she got her things straightened out.  For the first two weeks it was alright, no fights or anything like that, I made room for her stuff and all that.  My dad has been staying at his girlfriends place for a few months now so it was basically her and I.

Last week she came home from the bar with some guy around 2 am, oh well, I didn't care.  However they both stayed up til 4 am making all the noise possible, knowing full well that I had to work at 6.  I was pissed...no doubt about it.  I had to go to work with a whole hour and a half of sleep?  In my own house?  Personally I thought that common sense or respect would say, "i've only been here a few weeks, lets not invite strange guys over and let them have the run of the house".

So we had a talk about it a few days ago and I said I didn't want people in my house I didn't know.  I've worked hard to get the things I have and I don't want some strange bar guy in my house, especially when I'm not there.  And she got all pissy, saying that he left early and nothing happen to the house and I had no right....wtf.

Anyways it cooled down from there and I came home today to her sayin we have to talk...."I'm moving out...like within the month."  So since she has been here, about a month and a half at this point, she has raised all the bills up which was to be expected, cause more people usually means more electricity and water, and now tells me she is leaving.  The only money she has given me was a 100 dollars.  Which covered...half of what she raised it up to, nothing more. 

But the reason for this post was that I just overheard her talking to that guy (bar guy) and she was making me out to be a dick.  Here I am helping you when you need it, you overstepped and we talked about it, and now you are bailing on your part....why am I the bad guy?

I've always joked about it to friends, but I'm starting to wonder how many guys/girls do this.  A few years ago a girl and I started talking, and she liked to play pool and bowl.  So we went to the bowling ally and lets just say she wasn't good...so she thought she would beat me in pool...and she was mistaken.  So after beating her in 5 games of bowling, and 3 games of pool I could tell she wasn't enjoying herself...so thats when I decided to let her win.  I didn't make it obvious, she had no idea that I was holding back shots and screwing them up on purpose.

A girlfriend later, we're playing cards and again, I'm winning and she's like, I hate this game, so here I go again, holding back and trying to get her to win.

So how many times have you "lost" on purpose so she wouldn't get mad at you.

So something I did with my new girlfriend that really got me the brownie points was to make a picture frame.  It was a cheap happy 6 month present as well.  But anyways, I got a picture frame, got pictures of her and I and cut us out of them, arranged them inside the frame and wrote some things along the outside.   It may not be the best way for all girls, but my girl loved it.
