It figures.

Remember the guy from my previous post 'Hello Inspiration'? Well, we've spent the last two years becoming really good friends, and I was just about to blog and gush over our potential future love when I got punched in the stomach by his late night phone call.

His ex girlfriend got her annual check-up and found out that she has HPV. HPV that she apparently got from him because "he was the only one". I have no reason to doubt her honesty and he doesn't either, so...it's true.

Hearing the news was like being slapped. The only thing I could say was, "Whoa."

He feels guilty and confused. Understandable. HPV in men is a tad tricky. There is no FDA approved test so guys can have it, not have any symptoms, spread it to their partners, and then just get over it, without ever really knowing that anything has happened. I must say though, it caused me to raise an eyebrow at his sexual practices--no condom? Then again, HPV can spread from skin to skin contact with or without a condom so...

I mean seriously, just when I was starting to hope for more than a friendship with this guy...
I shouldn't be surprised. This is the way my luck has been with men for the past 3 years. I would join a convent, but I'm fairly sure they would take issue with my liberal use of profanity and my disbelief in god.

*sigh*

So now he's worried that I won't want to be his friend anymore. I told him I wouldn't be a friend at all if I bailed on him now. I left out the fact that my sexual fantasies about him have been positively dashed against the rocks of HPV.

Who knows where this goes from here? I sure as hell don't.
