A Girl's Gotta Have Options

Lets get right to it! I first want to aknowledge that I THINK Drew broke up with Erika! *holds breath as dramatic music plays* What does this mean?! Shxt...the hell if I know! I'm not sure if he did. His away messages on AIM seem to be hinting at it though. But thats just a bit of gossip I have for now. Like I said, I don't know what that means for me if it means anything at all.

Now on to the topic of today's post:

I once saw a cute saying online that went like this: "Boys are like purses, cute, full of crap and easily replaced."

So as a girl I have my own collection of purses and bags as do many other of my female friends. However, can we treat boys like we treat our purses?

Purses come in a TON of varities. Big, small. Tote, clutch. Leather, fabric. Designer, no name. Purses for a fancy party. Purses that match those shoes you've been dying to wear. Embelished bags with animal prints. Bags that have messages and pictues on them. Straps or handles. It's an endless assortment to pick and choose from. Which is where the comparison to the male population begins. Boys also come in an aray of varieties.

So with this being said, can a girl switch up her boy game like she does her purses?

I'm currently dealing with a situation where I have two "purses" to choose from. One guy, "Brad" , and another, Bert.

The story behind Brad is this:

I met Brad labor day weekend though Britt(from my friends i call cousins group not MSU Britt). He and I exchanged numbers and began speaking just about everyday. Honestly there were some things that got on my nerves about Brad but 98% of the time I was really starting to like him. Then I found out that Queens, New York is TOO SMALL!! Turns out that Brad knew one of my friends and was talking to her as well. Long story short I told my friend and was ready to let her have him when Brad told us both that due to certain circumstances, he wanted to continue to get to know me on a more romantic level.

The story behind Bert:

Bert and I 1st met through mutual friends on twitter. And right away I developed a crush on him. However, me being me, I never spoke up about because I automatically asumed that he wouldn't be into me. So I just kept my crush to myself and between Sara and Steph. I eventually met Bert in person and started to like him even more. eventually Bert and I had a few more one on one conversations. I started to pick up on some flirtation between he and I but I wasn't sure if it was just my imagination because I had a crush or not. Eventually it became pretty obvious that yes, Bert was in fact flirting with me. I of coarse took this and ran with it. As fate would have it though, the same friend that the Brad incident happened with, asked me to help hook her up with Bert. I battled with myself on if I was being selfish or not by not wanting to help but in the end I spoke up and turned out that Bert was not interested. I felt badly but it was out of my hands.


So up until now I've been getting to know the both of them. My role is a little more clear with Brad rather than it is with Bert. I'm not sure if Bert is just likes to flirt or if he's interested in a little more. As for Brad, he came to visit me at school this weekend but it hardly went how it expected it to be.

So here I am...with two different purses. One compliments my personality and style perfectly. The other looks good on me as well. I've not made a comittment to nor have comitted to me. I'm not sleeping with either (both live in NY anyway so that'd be hard to do even if I wanted to). I'm just simply "trying them on"
