I was always falling for guys who thought of me as being "a good friend". They would rave on and on that I was wonderful, had a great personality, what a great cook and the list goes on, but none of them ever asked me out on a date and always lead to be me either being drunk or spending many weekends, especially Saturday nights alone.
One Saturday, I was took myself to the bank and took out a nice chunk of money from my account and said "I'm treating myself to whatever I wanted today, so I hope the malls and the bars are ready for me." I treated myself to the diner with all my favorites - pancakes, sausage, bacon and eggs over easy. I had 2 cups of black coffee. I called a few friends and invited them for shopping and they all turned me down. I even offered to buy them something new to wear. I was sick of it all; my friends and my job.
I went to 3 malls and treated myself nicely. I got 4 new pairs of shoes, 2 new pair of sneakers, 20 new tops which included sweaters and blouses, 3 jackets, 2 blazers, 6 handbags, 7 skirts, 5 pairs of slacks, and 8 pairs of assorted jeans. I also got 6 new dresses. I even went to in the jeweler and bought myself a new watch and I necklace I had been admiring for a few weeks. I stopped briefly for lunch and had myself a few drinks. I went to the computer store and got myself a new laptop and also upgraded my cell phone.
