I started girls night 3-4 years ago (we can't exactly remember) as a New Years resolution of mine. The intent was twofold: a) go to nice restaurants our boyfriends/fiances/husbands would not take us to and b) keep in touch with our girlfriends. We go to a new restaurant every month and the group has grown from 4-5 to nearly 8-10. Of course not everyone comes every night but we usually at least get four people out of it.
We sit around, drink wine, eat food, gossip, complain about our jobs/significant others (or lack thereof)/sex etc. General girls night stuff. You will notice that this is not a night for us to go out prowling for men. The point is for us to get together - there are 29-30 other nights in the month that can be used for prowling.
Well, last night one of our junior members committed the cardinal sin and may be the first person to unanimously get booted from girls night.
What was her sin? We were sitting at our table and this manager was helping us. It was his night off and he was just filling in. This girl immediately took a liking to him. She asked him to our table, went trotting off with him several times and spent the entire night talking to him, flirting with him, etc. This same girl has in the past complained about the cost of girls night so she was not drinking. As we were leaving she got on her high horse with several of us (she was then drinking a glass of wine b/c he got it for her...) saying the reason we were full was because of the champagne and asking whether we could drive. So, not only did she abandon girls night and its purpose, but she also exploited her friends so she could look good in front of this guy.
Unacceptable.
I declare her officially and irrevocably removed from Girls Night.
On another note I'd like to say this - dating like a man is kicking my ass. I'm exhausted. I've had dates with 8-10 men (some of them multiple times) in the past 6 weeks. I'm tired. I want to sleep. By myself. For a month. I believe the experiment is over. I can emotionally handle dating like a man but I can't physically handle it. So, I am going to thin the herd down to my two favorites (A and a man named Michael that I haven't previously mentioned). If someone interesting and new comes up I'm willing to entertain it, but for now. I'm hanging up my guy pants in favor of a nice skirt and heels.
Take care, dear reader. I'll be resting.
