The one that never was

I was reflecting on a situation I was in a while back, and thought I'd share about it here and get some of your thoughts.

Have you ever met someone that was horribly and disappointingly unavailable, who was perfect for you?  Like, just the timing was very, very wrong?

A while back, I met a guy through a mutual acquaintance at a party.  We talked for a while over beers before the rest of the party arrived.  He was cute, funny, and the conversation was refreshingly natural and ever-flowing.  We clicked instantly.  On rare occasions do you meet someone who is just on your exact same wavelength, and this was one of those occasions.  I thought for the entire conversation how much I wanted to go out with this guy officially.  Then after a little while, shortly before the other people arrived, he mentioned a key word in one of his sentences:  wife.  He was married. 

DAMMIT! I thought.  I don't fault him at all for not mentioning it sooner--he did nothing wrong, and we were just having casual conversation.  But man, that was not welcome news.  See, I am a good girl.  I would never ever break up a couple, or even put the guy in a tempting situation. Which is why after hearing this news, I have kept my distance from even becoming close friends with this guy.
