"So, I&amp;#39;m dating again. Back to the grind. Back to the fumbling with numbers and bumbling with introductions. Back to those great first kisses and not-so-great first misses. Back to the bars. Back to the gym. Back to evaluating every backside that passes by. Back to hoping. And on the other side, back to disappointment. Take last week for example:\nPinterestFacebookThe young lady offering said disappointment, who we&amp;#39;ll call Katie, is someone I&amp;#39;ve been hanging out with for a couple months very casually: a drink here, a party there (we met through friends&amp;#8212;she&amp;#39;s a recent college grad with artsy ambitions). We had hung out in groups and just the two of us a couple times; she knows I just ended a relationship and am newly single.\nI invited her to the opening party for Le Bain, a new rooftop bar and pool in downtown Manhattan. I&amp;#39;m not trying to brag here, I just want to set the scene: It was something out of Sex and the City. An open bar with champagne and top-shelf liquor, views of the city from 18 stories up, and there was pool with barely clothed people in and out of it&amp;#8212;overall, a pretty hot ticket.\nWe got drinks and relaxed on the patio. Over the next couple hours, I introduced her to my friends and we mingled, finally settling on chairs by the outdoor bar. She had to be at work early the next morning, so we decided on one more drink before we left. Over that final cocktail, Katie decided she wanted a cigarette, and because I don&amp;#39;t smoke, I encouraged her to get one from one of the young men standing in a group next to us.\nThe young man she asked proceeded to chat to her for the next 10 minutes (and she to him), and when he asked how long we&amp;#39;d been together, Katie told him &amp;quot;Oh, we&amp;#39;re just friends.&amp;quot; Before leaving, he asked for her number and she gave it to him.\nI was pretty pissed. I didn&amp;#39;t walk her out, nor have I called her since. Every time she texts me I just say I&amp;#39;m busy or don&amp;#39;t answer. While Katie and I had not had romantic interactions before, I figure that, even if it wasn&amp;#39;t overtly a &amp;quot;date,&amp;quot; taking someone else&amp;#39;s number is pretty rude, or inconsiderate.Then again, maybe I&amp;#39;m just being hurt and sensitive because she&amp;#39;s not interested in me, and she only sees me as a friend, while I want more.\n__\nDo you think I&amp;#39;m doing the right thing, or acting like a baby?
