We have one friend in common and that has posed no problems so far.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous 2:52,<BR/>Ha, great comment. NYC can certainly be a special little hell dimension, but it has its charms, too. I can't imagine living anywhere else at this point (tried, but I came back).<BR/><BR/>Callalily,<BR/>The point isn't even how many women he knows, it's more that he can't keep up with his current friendships, so why go out of your way to develop new ones with your ex's friends.

It doesn't make me think that he's trying to hook up necessarily, but he maybe found it really fun and exciting to hang out with your beautiful and cool girlfriends and feels that to be a loss. Are his friends mostly guys? I would think he'd have a lot of female friends as an actor. I remember times that I've broken up with a boyfriend and felt sad at losing a posse of great guy friends at the same time. I never went so far as to mass email them though. That seems kind of sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20530625.post-1162018334355163852006-10-28T02:52:00.000-04:002006-10-28T02:52:00.000-04:00David's an actor.

If he can get four bloggers talking about him simultaneously, it'll be almost like having a career.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Gray might be angling for a threesome, but I'd bet he's just mean. Or a narcissist. Probably both. But no way did he not realize the cruelty of sending you a picture. Any primate would know how that would be received.<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad I don't live in NYC any more.

I think she even dated one of the guys she met through me. I was the one who broke off the relationship, so I haven't made a big deal out of it. But I'm with you; my preference would be for us to just keep the same respective groups of friends we had before.<BR/><BR/>At the end of the day, though, if your friends and ex-David want to hang out together, you can't really stop them.Jim Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11109822854814859552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20530625.post-1161978924424561202006-10-27T15:55:00.000-04:002006-10-27T15:55:00.000-04:00Anonymous,Who knows, maybe Ex David wrote the emai...Anonymous,<BR/>Who knows, maybe Ex David wrote the email because he missed my posts about him.

I mean, how can he not realize that his every move will be scrutinized out in the public?! The peril(s) of dating bloggers... If this instance of poor judgment is an isolated one, then that means he is desperate. I can see his thought process: It's so much easier to cling to people you sort of know than to meet new people.
