Bruised Ego

I guess it's still burning me up about last night.

So I'm on my way to my boss' birthday party and decide to stop at a bar to meet a few friends before we go in. We're just about ready to leave when I take notice of a few pretty girls that come in.

"No. Fucking. Way," I said loudly under my breath when I take notice of one of the girls. It was L, a girl who I dated earlier this summer.

"Who's that," my friend asked, taking notice of her as well. I told him what happened.

I kept glancing her way to see if she saw me. Nope. Nada. Then she went to the restroom. On her way back, I "accidentally" walked in her line-of-sight so she could look up at me. She did. Nothing. Not even recognition.

It dawned on me that this girl could be a pretty fierce look-alike. It's been known to happen, you know. And with almost 4 million women in the city, anything could happen, right?

We decided to leave. On our way out I, once again, glanced at her whilst passing by. I started to believe more in the possibility that she was just a doppleganger because it was easier to accept that than the fact that maybe she has COMPLETELY forgotten about me. No look. No glance back. Nothing. I did not exist to this woman.

It stung my ego a bit. But I guess that's fair, considering I never called her back after the stunt she pulled.

But still. Ouch.
