all cards on the table

So, some of you know I've been pursuing and have been pursued by a guy in my office building. (We don't work together, just in semi-close proximity). He's come out with my friends and then yesterday we had a lunch date together. He's very forward, and he's really great fun to hang out with. Anyway, after much prodding and poking around, I find out that he has a girlfriend!! Wtf?? He really didn't want to tell me and quickly changed the subject but I didn't let him off that easy...kept bringing her back into the conversation. Perhaps I misread the signals, and I just *wanted* to believe he might be interested? (But he DID want to go for coffee after we'd already had lunch, and THEN he wanted to go get ice cream, and THEN he sent me a thank you email for the "great lunch" and THEN he came up to my desk at 5:30 to see if I was "still here" [he works 2 floors down and in another building] and he also emailed first thing this morning...and and and the list goes on.

Why do people DO that? Seriously, I think you should have to wear a special headband or belt or pin or something if you're not single, just so everyone is clear. All cards must be on the table to play poker with this gal.

As an aside, I gave blood yesterday! Felt very good about myself!

Update: Bertuzzi's officially getting sued by Steve Moore - $15 million in pecuniary damages for loss of income, $1 million for aggravated damages and $2 million in punitive damages. His parents, who watched the incident on television, are suing for $1.5 million "for negligent infliction of nervous shock and mental distress."

first, WTF IS RIGHT?! I can't believe he acted like that... sounds like he wants an out with somewhere to go? Not sure. crazy.

second, I feel like all the scandals are ruining hockey! I'm pissed that the reporters *have* to mention the Gretzky and Bertuzzi shit in the same sentance of victory. Grrr.
