The one where Spencer is tired of other people bringing things to the party that are not welcome.

Friday Night I had an experience. One that I've been noticing more and more in the Gay Community here in Oklahoma City, and frankly I'm tired of it. I'm going to keep the names private, if you are reading this and you know who you are that is between you and I.

Backstory: 

A few months ago I had gone out dancing at the Copa and met a friend and his mutual friend. The mutual friend and I hit it off right away as he works for the company that I worked for before I moved to D.C., therefore we have several mutual friends. 

The Experience:

As I said, Friday night "the new friend" sent me a text asking if I was coming out. Truth be told about an hour before the text I was on the fence about it and decided to just stay in, but since I had the invite I was all "might as well", we always have a good time. After a few hours of dancing and talking and such "new friend" and I were on the dance floor, you know dancing, like you do at a dance club. When I noticed a guy, whom I will call "other guy" I know through a few other friends and having done some volunteer work with a local non-profit organization. Anway, "other guy" makes it a point to walk in, walk through the crowded dance floor, to stop us to just say "hello". I was all like "well that was awkward as fuck", but whatever.  I honestly didn't think anything about it again until Saturday Night. 

Saturday Night, "other guy" who had my phone number from a recent even we did for the previously mentioned not for profit, sent me a text message saying "hey. you have fun with "new friend" last night?" I said "I did, did you?"  And then I said "So, you know 'new friend'?" he said 'Yeah, been a while. Y'all seeing each other? " me: "No." him: "been out more than once? I hope you have a good time. You start dating him, I promise to be NICER next time I see him." Me: "Ok. I'm gonna need backstory."  Him: "Nope. But tell me if it doesn't work out. We can commiserate over a scoop of Rocky Road Ice Cream." 

My thoughts:

What does it matter if "new friend" and I are dating?  I am a grown man. I can make my own decisions. Why do you feel the need to project your negativity on me? I get it you obviously have some sort of history that wasn't a good experience for you, but WHY MUST YOU FEEL THE NEED to bring that into my life? I didn't ask for it. And finally your use of "Rocky Road" while funny to you was just down right offensive to me. 

In Conclusion:
