If I had asked her out and she chose Bobby instead of me, then I guess I would have been her second choice. That wasn't the case because I never asked her out. Even if I had been second choice, I would have still be chosen.

We have just recently begun to have sleep overs. I was ready on the first date, but then again I'm a man. Men don't need a reason to make love, just a place. I didn't want to push Kelly too fast after her last relationship. It was Kelly that suggested I stay over at her place after a night out.

Our company's yearend dinner is next week. Kelly and I will make our announcement after dinner. Everyone will be invited to the wedding.

Quote: Life goes on.

Anonymus ("The facts don't add up well") has analysed this story very well. On behalf of other comments, suggesting we don't know if Kelly probably already had a love life before. We have a strong hint. She says to have fallen in love with being in love or something similar. That feeling usually is the most intense when you fall in love for the first time. However, that's just a side note. There is something else that doesn't sit well with me, especially since it's so common, unfortunately. I'm talking about remarks like "Men don't need a reason to make love, just a place". Funny how we are drilled to talk sensibly about just everyone, but the heterosexual man is stereotyped and generalized on and on. And isn't it just swell how it's almost always in a demeaning way...

A trio of jerks

Our hero may have been good at IT, but at people to people stuff he sucks. Bobby was a first class idiot and Kelly was immature. What our hero wants with a used up jerk of a girl is anyone's guess, but it isn't worth any more of my time to analyze this 2* piece of junk.

The facts don't add up well

This is my second time reading this story through and things about it have always bugged me. Firstly, with regards to the people arguing over the second choice issue, it's less about whom she decided to go out with first and more about which one she had stronger feelings for. That gets to the root of my problems with this story. Kelly said a lot after douchebag was out of the picture, that she liked Drew better but wasn't sure how he felt and so forth, but do her actions really reflect that? At no time did she really come forth and say anything to him. Hell, the backstabbing prick had been gone for months already before she decided to talk to Drew about a possible relationship. This doesn't exactly bespeak of deep feelings for the guy.

On a different tack, she starts dating Shitbag regularly after he drives her home when drunk. Three guesses what happened that night, and the first two don't count. They get engaged three months later, so no grass was growing under her feet, that's for sure. She managed to wangle a ring and a promise out of an inveterate player in just three months! I'm not exactly sensing a lack of feeling from that, no matter what she said about being in love with the idea of being in love. Then she gets pregnant. One would think if she was having doubts about whether or not to break the engagement she'd make extra damned careful that her birth control worked. Sure, anyone could make a mistake; get the flu and have the meds cancel each other out, forget a pill one night, etc... Doesn't seem too likely, though.

On the flip side, she starts going out with Drew finally and it's easy going, no rush, no passion. They don't even have sex for at least five plus months. Hell, Scum-sucker had a ring on her finger already in less time than that. Drew was being patient, as always, and trying to be a gentleman after she'd had a miscarriage and a nasty break up but where's the sense of urgency and desire on Kelly's part? I don't know, there are a lot of factors in their relationship but as far as being Kelly's first or second choice, I really think the jury's out. One of the previous commenters suggested that she was just eager to get married and not choosy and I think he may be on to something with that theory. I just don't see any of the passion or longing that seemed to be present in her short courtship with the asshole in her relationship with Drew.

Now, I realize I'm speaking about this as though it's an account of something that happened in real life and not just a story. All I'm doing, though, is interpreting the facts as laid out in the text. If woodmanone intended everything to be the way Kelly said when she explained her relationship with the jerkoff, then I have to say that he plotted his story poorly. As I said in the beginning, the facts of the story do not add up that way. I'm glad for Drew that he doesn't feel like he's her second choice and, for his sake, I hope he continues to believe that. From where I sit, it doesn't look that way. I can't bring myself to like this story for that reason. He seems like a nice guy and he deserves better than to be the consolation prize just because Kelly found out the first guy she hopped into bed with so quickly turned out to be a backstabbing, irresponsible loser.
