Dave the Drummer

When I was younger (close to 30), I went out with this guy who was a drummer in a band called The Griffen Brothers(sp?). That’s how I met him actually, the band was playing at this bar I used to frequent.

So he asked me out and I went. We went to The Hayloft (no longer there) for lunch. The only reason I’m mentioning it at all is because while we were at lunch he said, “aren’t you going to ask me if I’m married?”

Well, boys and girls, it never occurred to me that a married guy might be asking me out. The thought of him being married had never crossed my mind. This seemed like a red flag.

So I asked him, “ok, so are you married?” and he said, “no, I just thought it was funny that you didn’t ask”. How strange is that? So I told him that I hadn’t asked because I wouldn’t expect a married guy to be asking me out.

On some later date he asked me if I was ‘on the pill’ and I said no, cuz I wasn’t. At the time I was using an IUD for my safe sex. He was a little freaked (I didn’t tell him about the IUD, I just answered his question). I did finally tell him that I had alternate means.

Anyway, the whole reason I thought of Dave was because I was madly in love with him (or something like that) even though that guy was one of the worst lays I’ve ever had.

I don’t think the word ‘foreplay’ was any part of his vocabulary, however, I was madly in love with him for other reasons… it was his sense of humour. I think I would have gone along being madly in love with him forever and having really bad sex.

However, he dumped me. And he didn’t dump me straight out dumping me, he just stopped calling me. The next time I saw him he was playing at the same bar but he was all gushy over this girl who was there and I knew that he was no longer seeing me.

I cried… in the middle of the bar where I was sitting at a table with another guy I was seeing and some friends. I was seeing 2 other guys at the same time as Dave the Drummer.

But the thing is, I still wanted Dave the Drummer and he didn’t want me. When the realization sunk home I just started crying and couldn’t stop. The bar owners thought I was drunk.

So my other boyfriend (who later became husband #2) and I left, and I just continued crying, wee wee wee, all the way home.

So I don’t know why I’m even talking about this, except that for some reason ‘the drummer’ popped into my head. Man what a bad lay he was. What the hell was I thinking?

WTF?
