My day got off to a rocky start. A very good friend and I had a major disagreement, and we said some not so nice things to each other. He threw stones at me because of my online dating success (or lack thereof), and I threw sh*t at him because of his choice in women. Okay now, I have to tell you that the girl in question is someone that I actually set my friend up with nearly a year ago. At the time, I thought it would be a match made in heaven.
Let’s call my friend Mello Yello, because he usually is pretty mellow. We’ll call his girl Sunny Delight.
After the stone throwing and sh*t slinging incident, I felt pretty bad. After all, I’ve known Mello Yellow for about 4 1/2 years, and we usually get along so well. He’s one of the nicest guys anyone could ever meet - honest, caring, intelligent, humorous, with good Christian values. When I set him up with Sunny Delight, I had the best of intentions. He deserves a good girl, and she really is one. But there are issues at play that make this “relationship” a stalemate. Mello Yello and Sunny Delight are good friends, but things have never gone further than that. He cares so much for her that it makes me furious that she’s not reciprocating the love. He deserves better.
Anyway, shortly after the altercation, I got an email from Mello Yello. Take a look.
You know I just realized something….I think you got upset with me earlier *… I have lost my copy of the terms & conditions of Tish’s sh*t list so I thought I would inquire with the following questions:
- I’m wondering does this put me on the list?
- If it does, what is the time frame before I am removed?
- After I am removed will I be on a probationary period?
- What is penalty if I don’t follow the proper procedures?
*Always remember one thing about me I will say what I think. I’m not very good at sugar coating things. Also, constructive criticism is sometimes good. It makes you take things into consideration more. I think you have thrown stones my way numerous times about Sunny Delight. With me, I’m more about enjoying the time I have with a person. I know Sunny and I are only going to be friends and I would never in my wildest dreams want to marry her. If it’s meant for me to be with someone, it will happen because it’s God’s decision not mine. There’s is a reason you introduced us. Sometimes I wonder why in the hell you did haha. Maybe the reason is for me to take care of her while she is here. I know she cares about me and it would be wrong for me to turn my back on her now. As much as she drives me up the wall sometimes, I really enjoy spending time with her. She’s totally different and it’s good to be with someone you can trust and you know won’t lie to you. Also, she is not the reason why I’m not wanting to email Cherry Coke. Cherry is attractive and I’m sure she gets numerous emails from guys wanting to hook up etc. Then I take into account your online success rate on finding Mr. Right. I think it stands about .0005 ‰. I hope that you will get lucky and find the right person. As for me, I’d go crazy if I kept trying to find the right person. Patience is a virtue my dear.

After reading this email, I realized just how good of a friend Mello is. And though he didn’t say it in so many words, I know that the email was his attempt at making amends. I am lucky to have such good friends. Things are now find between myself and Mello, but I still have hopes that he will meet the right woman in the near future. He deserves it.
In a bizarre twist of fate, my “horrible happening” of the day transformed into a happy occasion!
Oh, and if you’re a single woman who is interested in finding a nice young man like Mello, post a message to him in the comments. I’ll pass along any and all responses!
