Bad Friend or Good Girlfriend?

Well, Baltimore was great. Not much to do in Baltimore, but it was nice being away from home for a while and having a complete stranger make my bed and bring me fresh towels.

For years I was always the single friend. Now I'm starting to feel bad for telling my friends I'm hanging out with "S" tonight or not waving my hands in the air when the DJ yells out "Where my single ladies at." I fear becoming one of those girls who gets a man but loses her friends. I try to balance my friendships and relationship, but it seems that a lot of the time me and S plan in advance which makes little room for Saturday night calls from girlfriends asking if I wanna go to the club.

So, am I a good girlfriend or just a bad friend?

How do I balance the two? I'm new to this whole dating thing.

So, the holidays came and went. Christmas and New Year's Ever were both eventful and memorable.

Although me and S spent Christmas in two different places, we opened our gifts over the phone the night before Christmas. He got me an IPOD classic, my constant complaints of wanting to be ipod upgraded must have been heard, and I got him a Guess watch, Givenchy cologne, and Katt Williams's "Pimp Chronicles." It was so good to get off the plane and see him again.

It was sooo good to get off the plane and see him again. Eventhough I was only gone a week, it felt like forever.

I was excited about New Year's Eve. It was my first time EVER being with someone around this time and having someone special to kiss after the countdown. Me and him just went down to an Adam's Morgan (an area in DC filled with international bars and on most nights drunken college kids). We sat in a little lounge, danced to a few songs, kissed, and decided to head home around 12:45 or so (we both had to work New Year's Eve). It was nice being there with him...having someone to celebrate things like this with!

In a few weeks we are going to go on our first weekend trip. He's been dying to go see the aquarium in Baltimore, so we decided to make a weekend out of it.

It's crazy that I have someone like S in my life. For so long I was single and never imagined that the first guy in DC that I gave a serious chance to would turn out to be GREAT! S does have his flaws like his tendacy to reply "maybe" when I ask him to do something with me or his inability to pick up the phone at times when he's running late and not to mention his habit of only answering questions that he thinks deserves an answer...i.e. me: S are you tired? him: ***crickets, crickets*** Silence!!!! I hate that!!!! But above his flaws, he's caring, loving, a true provider, accepting, among other things. He moves me!
