Excuses, excuses

I didn't bring him up nor had I mentioned Sunday night, but earlier today and out of the blue, Mo brought up Reg. More specifically, Mo started talking about Reg and the two girls he came in and left with Sunday night at the bar.

Mo told me that she heard that the one girl Reg was with that night was his ex from back home and that the other girl that they left with was the ex girlfriend's friend who had come down while she was visiting. Mon said this was the ex who really messed him up, that she's continuing to play games with his head and that she's supposedly dating someone or have an actual boyfriend back at home. She then added, "So, I'm guessing nothing happened there" (with the friend with her and a guy waiting at home) or something like that as if trying to ease up what I'd been so sure had gone on when they all left together.

In the same breath that she gives this explanation/excuse for him that night, says she feels bad for the way this girl is stringing Reg along, oh, and says how nice he is & that he pretty much keeps to himself instead of whoring himself around (like some), Mo also tells me to be careful, that if this girl is stringing him along, if this ex messed him up as much as she supposedly did, then he's bound to hurt me. Agh! Stop encouraging this crazy interest I have in him. I don't know what he saw in me that one night - we're like complete polar opposites. He's got his matching belt and wallet and there are days I don't even match my socks!

Here I would have been perfectly content to go on being grossed out by all of what I thought happened and totally turned off by him. Now though Mo planted an excuse for the whole thing in my head and I'm back to feeling totally torn between continuing to distract myself with this interest in him I have or just give up and consider him nothing more than eye candy I shouldn't touch.
