I realized that I keep a lot of female friends around that I would hook up with given the right circumstances. These friends remain on facebook or occasionally I see them at events or functions, and they're remnants of the old life. The plugged in life, where I thought, I'll just act cool until the time is right.

But every time I see their face on facebook, I get that frustrated urge. Every time.

So this week, during the holidays, I decided to trim down the fat.

I told each one individually point blank that I'm taking them out.

And it's funny, because most of them declined.

And I expected that. They only know the beta me. It just occurred to me that keeping them around wasn't doing me any favors. So pushing this issue solved the question:

If they say yes, then finally! If they say no, they weren't interested and waiting around isn't going to make them more interested.

Win/win, there's literally no reason not to do this.
