A First Family Birthday Party

So Sunday was a member of the ATL 1st Family's Birthday. I am not apart of the family but I am a close friend of the family. Corey invited me over so I came. When I walked in everyone was there including Douglas and "the inquisitor". Everyone there was drinking and having a good time as usual and then small reads began to fly across the room. It isn't unusual to have a room full of punks to start reading one another. Usually since I am a friend of the family no one really reads me or at least while I am there anyway but this time was different.

Douglas and I have a history. We dated, however at the time I think that I wasn't ready for something serious and that I had some personal issues that I wanted to deal with. Douglas and I are still friends and we respect that about one another. If we see each other with someone else it is what it is you know. I guess that is just something that Douglas and I are okay with. Well I sat there and talked with "the inquisitor" on the sofa and the "grandmother" of the two yell out. Hey you come here. Talking to the inquisitor. He has already talked to one of my grandchildren he can't have them both. I was floored! If I were white I would have been blood red. I wasn't upset at all more or less embarrassed. We were just talking it wasn't like I was trying to get his number or anything. I mean we see each other at the gym and we talk. I think he is a cute guy I mean I would like to get to know him on a friendship level. There always has to be a start right. Well I have a few questions because it seems as if people in the life always have a issue with somethings and I find no issue with it.

Why is it when you have dated someone and it didn't work; why is it not okay for you to date someone else who they are friends with or that the person knows? I mean it didn't work out for you all for whatever reason so why hold on to something that isn't there. I mean if it were to break up on bad terms i can understand but good terms is different. I mean we do live in atlanta so the dating circles can be somewhat small. I mean if someone else can make you happy then why shouldn't everyone be happy? Not saying that I want to do this just asking questions. 

Something else that ran through my mind was that there were probably about 20 25 people there however only 3 couples. So that left 19 other people who are single and have been for quite sometime. I think that it is time for people in our lifestyle to stop being so harsh on people and get with someone they like and work it out. There will always be someone else who is more cute, has more money,has a better education. But everyone can't make you happy.
