She literally told you she’s going for a single summer bod, not a I’m going to jump Boston’s bones this summer bod. Get the hell out of that situation and see if she chases you, that’s the only way this is working out.
Owwwww. That hurts. Sorry. As a prerequisite to obtaining a ticket. If anyone from this site goes with you, you all have to write articles for the site detailing the night.
You were in a wheel chair for a broken ankle for 4 months… And you didn’t go to PT? I truly can’t wrap my head around the thought process there.
With that said, definitely be friends. Casually mention a wine bar (or really whatever other drinking/eating establishment y’all may both find enticing per your prior conversations) you really want to go to, but need someone to go with because you don’t have anyone interested in going with. She’ll either (a) opt in to go, (b) express an interest, in which case you can invite her, or (c) signal complete disinterest in hanging out with you by not doing (a) or (b). Good luck with the friendship.
So… just like I said. Onward to TGDAG: Engagement, Engagement Photos, Engagement Party, Wedding Announcement, Wedding Shower, Stock the Bar, Bachelorette Party (followed by a 3 part CoT Bachelor Party), Get Married (with a CoT: Cold Feet), Honeymoon in Antigua. Think that covers the bulk of it.
Completely feel you on the identity crisis. It will continue to keep you up at night as long as there are aspects of your old self and your new self that are redeeming, but don’t necessarily jive with how you envision yourself. At least it keeps me up.
I love the TGDAG Universe. I’ve followed this series since day 1 and my girl friend routinely tells me I’m way too invested. I’ve been rooting for Todd and Claire, for a year. And until last week, the Universe has been working towards some semblance of a story. Claire was dangled to us and it didn’t happen. I think it would have made the story great, but that’s not Will’s vision obviously. I would have loved CoT to go off with Claire and TGDAG to continue with Girl. But, it’s not going to happen. She hasn’t even provided any kind of character arc for Todd, just a source of sexual tension for Todd and plain tension for Girls’ relationship. Time to move on from that, at this point and back into the story everyone’s been following.
I just know that Will deFries loves engagements and weddings. A large chunk of his career on this site is devoted to those subjects. He’s not going to pass the opportunity to put all that knowledge to work. And that means that Todd has to propose to Girl, if TGDAG is actually going to have a coherent ending.
It’s clear Todd and Girl are not breaking up. In order to complete a series based on a narcissistic psychopath millennial called “Things Girls Do After Graduation,” Girl has to go through engagement, everything that comes with that leading to a wedding, and the wedding. After 3 years, there’s no way another guy other than Todd can fill the roll of fiance and husband. The material would be too similar a second time around. Claire’s story-line is just dragging the story out and making the plot unfocused. It doesn’t even appear that her presents is going to lead Todd to a revelation of his true feelings of Girl that will lead him to commit considering the fact he spent the weekend completely blacked out. I’m ready to bury that rabbit hole and have some sense of where the series is going again.
Can confirm. Do not order an “Irish Car Bomb” in Ireland or really anywhere outside the US. It’s just called a Car Bomb everywhere else. I definitely don’t know that because I personally made said mistake at which point a very large drunk Irishman tried to fight me, before thankfully calming down to explain why that phrase is, in fact, racist towards Irishmen.
One of the major takeaways I’ve had from this series is that every male in Seattle is total wet blanket, but the females bring some redemption. Chalk one up for the lady bros.
My assistant was apparently watching me read this on my computer. At the moment Grant was introduced my facial expression changed to the point she frantically asked what I could possibly be looking at to go from a giant shit eating grin to absolute despair

It’s unfortunate the concert is on a Tuesday night. I was ready for a weekend road trip to Phoenix after reading that.

“If I were out running with my pet Longhorn in Austin….” has to be one of the top lines of this series thus far.

Is that something you fall for often? If so, this is me not saying sup.

Thanks, saw that after it was posted. Need an edit function.

We didn’t get thrown out, but we definitely moved to friendlier waters at a different bar shortly after finishing our drinks.
I can only hope we get a column entitled “DTC: Flying to Lone Star (On My Company’s 12th Floor Balcony)”
