HONORABLE MENTION WILL GO TO.....THE FILL-INS

They deserve a shout out also, the men in between the boyfriends.  I call them the fill-ins similar to the people they use at most award shows to make it seem the audience is full.  They use random people to fill-in the seats usually if they don't have a good attendence.  They could be thought of as the re-bound man, standby guy and the list goes on.  It could be someone you like and not necessarily someone you would date in a longterm  relationship. Maybe he has some qualities you like and some that you know what drive you crazy eventually.  Whatever the reason is you are seeing this person it should be understood on both parts that "it is what it is".  Most men don't mind being  a bootie call unless that someone has real feelings for you then they should be off-limits. Also the fill-in don't necessarily have to be a bootie-call, they could be that man that you are friends with.  Someone you call maybe when you feel a little lonely and you don't want to call a girlfriend, someone to go to the movies, musuems, dinner. Sometimes the re-bound man is just there to get you over the hump of your last boyfriend perhaps fine tune you for the next man.  Also don't feel guilty about using a fill-in, everyone  uses them from time to time.  Like I mention as long as both parties are comfortable with the situation there should be no problems.  Over the years we often  look back affectionately at old boyfriends and possibley forget the ones we dated in between, but they are worth  reminiscing about with fond memories. It may also be possible for the fill-in person to become a boyfriend, you may have over looked him before and since you are not solely focused on that other person, you may  be able to appreciate him in a whole new way.

So sometime we have to think like men, they have no difficulty putting us in a box and pulling us out when needed.  So flip the script and look around, that fill-in maybe just what the doctor ordered.
