I had to giggle at this
Last night, I went out for what was supposed to be a girls night out with a close friend, but her H and I kind of hit if off the last time we all hung out (we're both sci fi / zombie geeks) so he asked to tag along. The three of us had a great time, and they've both been great about sharing the joys and difficulties of being in the military / being married into the military (K is enlisted in the Army, and it seems like all of the eligible men in the DC area are in the military)
At one point I asked them for advice on how to let know a guy (Air Force) I went on a couple of dates with when I first started seeing K (didn't see him more because we didn't really click) know that I wasn't interested in developing a relationship. He recently started texting more, and i need to let him know that we didn't really click, yada yada yada.
Below is the msg I rec'd from my friends' husband (officer in the Army) about what I should send Air Force guy:
Dear Air Force,
I've met a Soldier that is six foot four and to whom I feel an attraction that was missing on our dates. He can carry 180 lbs on his back for 12 miles! I connect with him mentally, politically, and physically in a way that we did not and want to pursue an exclusive relationship with him.
Warmest regards,
Who knew that the rivalry in our armed forces was that strong?
