In celebration of birthday today - A True Story: "How three half-naked dudes in her kitchen led to me asking her to be my girlfriend."
This particular tale takes us back to the summer of 2017.
Erin and I had only known one another for a couple of weeks.
I was deep into a competition prep for a men's physique show, so I was extremely rigid, and structured.
Erin on the other hand was going through a divorce and living her best life.
Her sister Megan Davis] had replaced her husband as a roommate, and for the two of them, this was their "summer of ratchet-ness."
I later found out Erin kept a list of all the guys she was talking to, and she and Megan Davis] would ascribe their nicknames, so she didn't get them mixed up.
I was sitting in an honorable third place of twelve dudes.
Anyways, on one summer day, I had asked Erin to hang out.
She agreed, and we made plans to have a bonfire at her house that evening.
As the day progressed, my mood and energy plummeted.
I was reaching the "this fu***ng sucks"" phase of prep, so I decided to bail.
I figured, "this will only make her want me more" - a tactic that has worked quite well in past casual relationships.
I texted Erin - ""Hey, I hope you don't mind, but I'm exhausted; I'm going to stay in tonight.""
She replied (two hours later) - ""Ok, no problem!""
This is right about the point that my plan back-fired.
I sent another text - "Are you sure you're cool with that? I'm sorry, my energy is awful right now, and I know I wouldn't be much fun.""
No response.
The following day I woke up feeling defeated.
"Did I just f**k this up?" - I thought.
So I did what any insecure control freak would do in this instance. I stalked Erin on social media.
As I opened her Snapchat story, my heart dropped into my shriveled prep balls.
Erin was, in a bathing suit, in her kitchen with 2-3 dudes in their boxers, making breakfast.
This was the exact moment I knew Erin was for me.
She took no s**t from me.
She didn'tdidn't ''need'' me.
Two days later, I turned my s**t around and asked her to be my girlfriend. 🤣🤣.
