Melodrama to the nth degree...

Remember when i last wrote about my circle of friends going out with eachother? What i wrote was apparently confusing for everyone but me...so hopefully this is clearer...

Basically, in highschool there was our circle of girls, the 6 of us. And there was their circle of 6 guys. Our two circles hung out with eachother but after highschool, because we went to different universities, we stopped hanging out...the guys were non-existant to us for a very long while.

5 years down the track and one of the girls had changed religions and is no longer in our group as it doesnt go down with her religion very well...so there are 5 girls, 6 guys.

1 girl and 1 guy got together straight after HSC.

Now, in the span of a month, 3 girls and 3 guys have gotten together.

That leaves me and 2 guys.

Normally, this kind of maths wouldnt be such a bad thing...2 guys for 1 girl...but these guys are like my brothers, so lets not go there...

The most recent pair to get together is my best friend and one of the guys. She called last nite to give me the goss...and i was stunned and dumbfounded! Normally, i would be ecstatic that there was someone that she was interested in and was interested in her also...but this sorta happened out of nowhere and the person happens to be one of the guys from our circle (she didnt even see this coming).

I'm happy that my friends are finally finding happiness with someone in their lives, because prior to this they had never dated anyone. So, this is progress in my opinion.

But these girls are like my sisters (as im in a family with 2 brothers)...those guys are like my brothers...i talk to them like they were my own real brothers...i feel a bit incestuous...and im not the one dating them!

I just feel weird and i dont know how im suppose to deal with it, but i obviously have to.

I pretty much guessed that my best friend was going to say that she was seeing one of them, cos the first thing she said to me was the "guess what, i have news!" statement, that all the others had said to me before declaring they were going out with one of the guys!

What is also getting my knickers in a knot is the fact that because im single they are all throwing really tired cliches about my prospects in finding a guy! "There are plenty of fish in the sea..." and "don't worry...don't look for it cos it will just happen, out of nowhere!" or "if it happened for me, it will happen for you..."

Uno, when i got together with my previous boyfriends, i never belittled their single status or thrust these cliches at them. And i would appreciate it if they would stop trying to make me feel better about a situation that i didnt feel bad about in the first place.

I dont have a problem with my being single...my problem is the fact that almost all of my "brothers" had asked all of my "sisters" out.

Thats my problem!
