Socially Stunted Satisfaction?

A while ago I made the decision to go to Hawaii to go to a friend's wedding. The funny thing about this friend that is getting married is that I have been on a date with him. I went on one date with him and at the end of it, we laughed. There was absolutely no chemistry. However, we were such good friends that we stayed that way. I met him the first day of college and we've been friends since.

This friend, set me up with his best friend, whom I dated for three and a half years. Yes, here you have it, this is how I started dating Social Retard.

The wedding is next week and I am going back into credit card debt in order to travel to Hawaii to attend it.

I have never needed a vacation so much in my life. And this is going to be quite a vacation. Social Retard is the best man and there are only about 10 guests that aren't family attending the wedding.

I had a choice. I could bunk up with the ex, invite a date, or go it alone. I chose the final option, and it will be my first solo vacation.

With that comes certain implications. I am staying in a four-star hotel all by myself and my ex is staying on the same island. I have not felt the weight of a man on top of me in nine months...this makes me almost famished. I have promised myself that I will not be engaging in any adult activities that involve raingear for any below-the-belt parts.

Social Retard supposedly has a really attractive girlfriend who is not coming to the wedding. This makes me think that maybe this so-called girlfriend is no more. I mean, if you had been dating someone for over a year, and you were best man in the wedding, wouldn't you invite her?

I may be wrong, but Social Retard also called me to say he'd be glad to pick me up from the airport.

Am I in trouble?

Probably.

Maybe you're in trouble, but it'll be an adventure. The worst-case scenario isn't all that bad, especially given that it sounds like you don't see them much otherwise. Have a great trip!

I think it sounds like a nice vacation and a great distraction. Oh, weddings!

Enjoy yourself! Good luck avoiding the adult activities. You're right about the weight. It is wonderful.

Good luck.

What happens on the island, stays on the island?
