Beer Goggles

So, yesterday was pretty interesting. I took a drive back with a cute guy I met a while back. Long story short: he was interested, I wasn't single, my friend took him home instead. While him and I are still friends, he doesn't talk to her anymore and she's all pissy. Anyway, what do you expect when you take a guy home, he won't be your boyfriend. Anyway, he offered me a drive back from my Mom's on Sunday. I did not tell my friend. I feel terrible for lying, but at the same time it's just a drive (his friends were in the car too) not a freakin' date! 

So he pulls in my Mom's and immediately my dog loves him. He meets my mom who coincidently standing outside. Charming & polite guy. Anyway, so I scooch in the back seat, look over and his friend has a bunch of Alpine Beer cans, and is drinking one. So I think... whatever, not my car! As long as the driver isn't drinking.... So about 3 minutes after we leave the front passenger offers me to switch place with him. We do. 

I look over at the driver, and he's got an open can of Alpine between his legs! I am in shock. SEriously in this day and age I thought people were smarter than to actually drink while driving. The guy wasn't drunk... but it's still illegal to do both things at once! Anyway, I made a light remark about it and offered to drive. Luckily, he let me. So he drank while I drove. 

We're chatting away, and out of nowheres a female deer jumps right in front of the car. I slammed the breaks, swerved, and managed to avoid her by about 4 feet. Close call. My heart was pounding. I know that if he would've been driving he would've probably hit her. 

Needless to say, I have lost all respect for this boy. I don't want to ever see him again. The worst is that I am not mad, but I am extremely disappointed in him. I thought that he had a good head on his shoulders... and wouldn't do something so stupid. Wait 2 hours, then drink when you get home... frig. I won't tell my friend what happened. It's a good thing that neither one of us dated this loser with a good country boy cover.
