For years I've debated with myself and others which is the worse situation: not enough women, or too many. Only two days into this tumultuous and emotionally trying week, I've finally decided that the latter is far more taxing.
Having no women sucks, don't get me wrong. However, it also affords you the opportunity to work your game whenever you want and constantly challenge yourself. There are over three billion women in the world, and when you're not tied down to any of them, all of them are available for your plundering.
The second scenario, however, is like trying to juggle when you've got five balls in the air. It's extremely stressful to keep everything running smoothly, and if you take your eye off what you're doing, even for a second, you've got a big freaking mess on your hands.
That being said, I've got a problem. I met this girl, "Erin," a few weeks ago, and we hooked up the night we met. We've been hanging out fairly regularly since, and we've "done the deed" twice. She's voiced how much she likes me several times, though sometimes she tries to act aloof and disinterested so as not to appear too attached or obsessed. I know it's just an act though, because I can set my clock by her 9 PM phone calls every night. I recognized immediately that Erin is NOT the type of girl I would ever want a long-term relationship with, but she is kind of fun to hang out with a couple times a week, and I'll admit the guaranteed ass was hard to pass up. Therefore, you might say I've been sort of "stringing her along."
Everything was fine and good with Erin, but over the last two weeks, I've started to develop something with another girl, "Christine." Christine and I are MUCH more compatible, to the point where I can talk to her for hours without getting bored or being sidetracked by my desire to bang her. I'm not developing one-itis, but I do see the potential for something meaningful here.
So here's the problem: my fraternity has a formal this Saturday night, and I've invited Christine to be my date. Erin, however, still calls me regularly, still thinks there's something between us, and according to what her friend told me today in the gym, she assumes I'm taking her to my formal, even though I haven't asked her. Obviously, I'm not going to ask her, as I already have a date with someone else.
Understandably, I feel like ass about this. Some of you long-time members might remember the post I made several months ago soliciting advice on how to break up with my girlfriend. I suck at doing things like breaking up and letting girls down. I need to talk to Erin soon--like tonight or tomorrow at the latest--and end things with her, but I'm terrified that I'm going to devastate her.
Any suggestions on how I should broach the subject. So far as I know, she thinks that everything is fine between us and that nothing's wrong, which is going to make it that much harder.
