There are times in life when you can crawl into a hole and hope the storm blows over. Or you can stand proud and continue to experience everything life has to offer. As you might imagine from my writings, I will always choose to experience what life has to offer. Over the last few months I’ve dealt will a lot of controversy with my arrest. But one thing that the controversy has done is refreshed my memory on screening dates.
In the past I’ve researched my dates by using google and other business resources. The one thing I’ve done since my arrest is tell every woman I’ve dated about my interracial nightmare. Not for the sympathy factor, but so they know where my thinking is and also to have women around me with a concern for my sexual health. During that process, I’ve noticed that AD33 has stepped up her game. She has gone out of her way to be supportive and spend more time with me. She’s a bit jealous of other women in my dating rotation, but she deals with it.
Recently AD33 and I went out to a local pub for a couple drinks. When we arrived at Ringo’s I noticed there was a long line at the bar and service was extremely slow. So I decided we should move to the next pub around the corner. As we walked out of the bar I noticed EJ32 sitting on the patio with a group of friends. I casually waved at EJ32 as I walked by. I knew that would be the easiest way to deal with the situation. AD33 and I spent the next couple hours on the patio of The Gingerman.
I expected to get a text from EJ33 as we walked around the corner, but it never happened (thank god). I hate to say this, but I was a bit nervous. I wasn’t sure if calm & sober EJ33 was on the patio or if it was tipsy and feisty EJ33 was on the patio. I know some people think that white women are timid and calm, but if tipsy and feisty EJ33 was on the patio, there could be a major problem. When it was time for us to leave, we passed EJ32 and friends again. Nothing was said by either women, but I knew that there would be a conversation about this at another time. As soon as we drove off, AD33 questioned if she was the woman who shared the interracial nightmare with me. I notified her it wasn’t. I wasn’t sure if she wanted to know just in case she wanted to kick her ass or if it was out of jealousy.
So I’m wondering what is social etiquette. Should you acknowledge your ex if you’re with another person? Or should you just wave from a distance? Or is this a case where a little white lie would work?
For me, I confirmed her identity to AD33 to give her heads up. Because most of the women I’ve dated have a jealous streak. And since I can’t predict the reaction of the other woman, hopefully the woman that is with me won’t act foolish. I’m still sorting out the after affects of that night. So I’m sure there will be more on this topic in the future.
