Girl Code, Guy Code, People Code

(845): From time to time I think I'm happy for a second and then I remember how a guy stopped me from giving him head on my birthday weekend.



Have you ever read the website Texts From Last Night? If not, I definitely recommend it. It is so incredibly funny. Today I was reading it and came across the above entry and was immediately reminded of my own birthday last month and then thought that someone else was living my same life. Doesn't sound very good or promising does it? But, there is a story with this and a life lesson to everyone on how to treat people, so hear me out...

Last month was my birthday so my friends and I decided we wanted to go up to Phoenix to go out and have a good time instead of staying in boring old Tucson. There is this guy I had talked to and hung out with quite a few weekends over the summer that lived in Phoenix and figured that I should text him and see what's up and invite him to hang out with my friends and I that night. When I say I wanted to hang out with him, let's be real here, I wanted my night to end at his house.So I went ahead and started talking to him and invited him out. He inquired about who I was with and told him which of my friends I was with. He immediately started asking about one of my friends, one he had never met or seen before. He asked if she was single and if he should go out with us in the hopes of "hollering" at her. First, who the hell "hollers" at girls anymore. Second, WTF, really?!? That was my initial reaction followed by feeling completely insulted. He had always been really cool when we had hung out over the summer and took me to do really cool things. So I was slightly shocked about how disrespectful this was on just a person to person level. Well, he continued how he wanted me to play matchmaker for him and my friend. In my drunken state that happened later on in the night, I am under the impression I went off on him through text. I have no way of confirming this though because drunk me was smart/dumb enough to delete the texts and his phone number to save myself further embarrassment in the morning. 

So that is the story. Now, we have all heard about girl code and guy code right? Well, I think there is another code in the world that is even more important. I call it person code. To me, person code is just the common respect and decency you should show to a person you have had some sort of relations with or even strangers. If you have hooked up with someone, even if it was just a short thing and nothing serious, I think there should be some form of just human decency you just give the other person. I mean, I would never go to a hookup of mine and ask them to play matchmaker with a good friend of theirs. I can't be alone in that, right? Maybe if a long time had passed, but not when you were texting them 2 weeks beforehand saying you wanted to hang out again. If you decided you don't want to hang out with someone, just say no then! I don't know, personal opinion. I also believe that person code is the worst one to break out of girl code, guy code, and person code. What do you think?
