This is my fifth summer
This is my fifth summer as a single male in this town. I've definitely been noticing a pattern. It's not the easiest time of year for a guy to be non-monogamous in Halifax.
Halifax is such a university town. The city seems to empty out in the summer. Social circles shrink at this time of year. July is not really the month for making new friends, as people are more interested in spending time with the friends they already have--eating at barbecues, going to the beach, and so on.
The result of this narrowing of social circles is that you find yourself going out every night and it seems like you're seeing the same faces night after night. I often find myself thinking, "Hmm, she's kind of cute. But on the other hand, if it were meant to happen, it would have happened back in February."
