On The Bench

I relate to sports analogies.

Recently, I was talking to a friend about being on the receiving end of another "I just want to be your friend" conversation. He listened to me rant for a little bit then gave some good insight.

He told me that I am the girl that every guy wants in his starting line-up.

It made me think. Of course every guy wants me in his starting line-up. I am fun, easy-going, love sports, love to laugh, am fairly simple, and am funny. As I have been told, I am a "catch."

So, alas, I am the girl that every guy wants on his bench, in his starting line-up.

The reality is.... I can't sing, "Put Me In Coach" enough. My uniform is starched and ready to go.

Trust me, I know that the grass is always greener. I get it.

But that doesn't change the fact that I am getting a little sick of sitting the bench.
