I suppose that in any form of media you’re bound to find the rumor mill somewhere – last night I encountered it at #randomTO. After leaving a super pretentious party at Spice Safar, Jess and I headed down the street to Hey Lucy (I suggested it because Jo tweeted that there was a meet-up happening); Jess obliged. We arrived to many unfamiliar faces, naturally we did a round-table introduction. At some point Jo decided to take his Twitter survey questions and ask them in a continued round-table way. ‘Are you dating anyone,’ was the question – I wasn’t really listening, but I think the consensus was ’single’. It was my turn to answer – feeling a little awkward I disclosed my single status (**I wasn’t awkward because I’m single, only because I thought the conversation..or lack thereof was just odd). Nonetheless, the girl sitting beside me proceeds to say (loudly), ‘Aren’t you dating Sean Ward?‘ Wha? I don’t exactly recall what my facial expression was, but I imagine it was blank. I had no idea who this girl was so I was irritated that she’d said that. Someone asked where that question/statement came from and she sort of squirmed in her seat trying to think of something legit to say.Perhaps it was my sour disposition that contributed to my reaction – but thinking about it now, I feel like I was justified. I can sort of understand if one of my best friends made a stupid comment like that – but for someone that I just met, in a setting with people who aren’t my friends is ludicrous. **My friends aren’t that immature.
I’m not angry with this girl – I don’t even remember her name – but don’t say ridiculous things that could potentially start rumors. As much as I love Sean Ward – we are not dating.
