What kind of nervous tick is this???

~Mar. 27, 2003~

So yesterday I get an email from Jake. Now I haven't heard from Jake in well over 6 months. He just poofed on me. Which, with Jake seems par for the course. I swear, had he and I not been friends for over 4 years now I'd have dropped him like an ex-husband...

But anyway, he sends me an email at work, and we start playing tag and catching up on what's been going on with each other. And the subject of J comes up, as it would. Well, I know that at one point Jake was seriously interested in me, and as I value the friendship, I didn't want to make things awkward between us, so I sort of skirted around the issue. He didn't. Which is normal Jake fashion as well. It's just how he did it that bugs me. He asks "...so, just how "commited" are you?"

Now, considering that we were playing catch up, you'd think that was a completely rational question. Not from Jake. That's one of those "So, what are my chances of bumping this guy out of your life so I can step in?" questions. And it ticked me off.

So, the question of the day is why do some guys do this? (Yes, I refrained from generalizing and saying just guys, but it was there in my head...) Why do they feel the need to try and "overthrow" another man in a woman's life, when they've been told that there's no chance? Why? Are they so testosterone laiden that they just can't get it through their heads that the grass isn't greener with them? Why can't they just accept that someone is with someone else, and still be friends? Is this a completely foreign concept to them? Is this beyond their testosterone level of understanding? Can anyone enlighten me? Please? 'Cause Jake sure as hell can't. Damn Ranger Boy!
