They Call Me The Wing Man

by MMI

Throughout my life I have always considered myself to be a great friend, there for the good times and most importantly there to pry the gallon of ice cream out of your hands before you take a turn for the worst and can’t fit into any of your “skinny” jeans. In college I had the best friends a girl could ask for, there was always someone there to hear me whine, or go for a drink, or go eat at LaHa, my favorite Mexican restaurant. When moving to Raleigh I knew NO ONE except my boyfriend Jason. Yes, he is absolutely wonderful, but it was hard not having that “girl time” I was so used to. I went out a few times with Jason and his friends and met many girls who either had no brain, no personality, or liked to make out with each other, not my type of friends. Well that all changed when Kate came to work at MMI. Her first day we established we both like wine and Matthew McConaughey, perfect! We went out a few times and Kate, being the single girl in the city, liked flirting with guys, what girl wouldn’t? I soon realized that I had to be a good friend and join in, that is when I was crowned the Wing Man or shall I say the Ultra-Trendy, Smart, Sophisticated, Not So Single, Best Friend in the World. A Wing Man is the brave sole who doesn’t mind talking to uninteresting people, dancing with The Ugly Friend, or asking the sexiest guy in the bar if he has a girl friend? Yes, I am the Wing Man!

It all started one night when we were out for drinks and Kate eyed a gorgeous guy with is not so gorgeous friends. Mr. McDreamy was his name, and I am sure hitting on ladies was his game. He came over and introduced himself and invited us to join him and his friends for drinks. Being the best friend in the world I agreed, hoping Kate and Mr McDreamy would hit it off! I sat down next to Steve the cup salesman. Yes, the man sold cups, big cups, small cups, plastic cups, any kind of cup you can imagine. You would think there wouldn’t be much to talk about when it came to cups, but oh are you wrong. Needless to say after 30 minutes of talking about what cup is the most popular at the local convince store, I asked Kate to join me in the ladies room. She didn’t have to ask, I was hoping Mr. McDreamy had asked for her number so we could head to the next bar. No, luck, so I told her I could manage 15 more minutes and after that I was done. She agreed and we went back to the table. After 5 minutes she gave me the eye and we were gone. Mr. McDreamy had a girlfriend and even worse he was the Wing Man for his two ugly friends!! Yuck!

Through out my Wing Man experiences I have found some success, not all guys out there are totally boring or ditch you when they hear you have a boyfriend. They also like to buy drinks for the Ultra-Trendy, Smart, Sophisticated, Not So Single, Best Friend in the World! Kate is one of my dearest friends and for that I will remain her Wing Man until she finds a man of her own. Like a true friend, I would do anything for Kate, including letting her borrow Jason, my boyfriend, when going to a party just to drive her ex crazy! What can I say a good girlfriend goes along way!
