Today I met a couple. Both of the people involved are around my age but they are older than me yet act like they are 14. Let me explain. When we met we waved hands at each other and stood awkwardly until we departed for the water. They immediately pulled ahead of the group of women and wandered off by themselves. I get it, you're dating. That's cool and stuff but you can still be sociable. It is extremely awkward to sit by and not talk to someone because you're part of a couple. I'm not getting off completely Scot free either. I could have spoken up and been more conversational too but a 2 to 1 ratio is quite intimidating.
This isn't the first time I've noticed an awkwardness when I am around a couple and I doubt it will be the last. Yet from this moment on I resign to not be that girlfriend. When I get into a relationship I will continue to be the social butterfly I am today. The only difference is I'll have an additional title to put behind my name.
ABS: daughter, sister, friend, AEMT, college sophomore, sponsor, girlfriend.
