even steven: single woes

btw. [this is extremely rough. i wrote it in the heat of the moment and didn't edit it.]

im a little bit frustrated.
but at the same time a little excited because i have an excuse to blog.

the situation:
i went to the beach today with some long time friends who were home for their spring break.
it was great.
we tanned, read magazines, ate in n out, took pictures, watched boyfriends surf and felt the water.
(it was also a really crazy day but i won't get into that...)
besides the craziness everything was really smooth and very relaxing.
it just felt good to HANG OUT.
then we went back had a few beers and chilled in the jacuzzi and discussed plans for the night.
this is where things started to get weird.
my friend's boyfriend got upset because he thought that he and my friend were gonna get to hang out alone until we went out tonight.
when he found out that wasn't the plan, he got a little upset but tried not to show it and simply went in the house. so we left.
my friend then starts trying to rearrange the plans for what was supposed to be our "girl's night".
she started by trying to incorporate the guys into all the things we were already planning on doing.
this started a discussion on how this isn't the first time he's reacted like this and also how some of the other girls with boyfriends experience the same thing.
immediately i felt a little disconnected.

i couldn't understand why we had to change what we were doing just to make him happy.
i didn't see why we couldn't just enjoy the night with each other.
(i haven't seen these girls in months, mind you)
i understand that he wants to spend time with his girlfriend but in honesty, i haven't hung out with her without him since they've been together.

so im frustrated.
i don't know if it's because im single and haven't really had anything extremely serious enough to be able to understand the desire to do anything to keep the man happy.
or maybe it's simply because im not the type of girl to just be passive and do anything to keep him happy.

i can't see why any girl would want to be with a guy that gets angry over anything that doesn't go his way.
granted, i tend to be like that.
when im disappointed, my mood can go extremely south (but this ain't about me) but i certainly don't expect others to change everything they're doing to please me. (maybe i do, but once again, this ain't about me)
and anyway, if things were changed to please me, i wouldn't even really be able to appreciate it because the disappointment has already overtaken my mood.

now don't get me wrong, i really like her boyfriend.
he's a great guy and i love being around him.
im just a little disappointed with her for not standing up and being like, "hey, this is girl's night and you can pout all you want but i'm having fun with or without you being upset about me."

actually, tonight it feels good to be single.
for once...geeze.
