Tip Our Hats: Guys Who Are Good Sports About Watching My Favorite Movies

I used to kick it with this one guy who was a total scumbag. We were together only a short time; less than a month. Everyone knew he was a scumbag. Hell, even he knew he was a scumbag. How much of a scumbag? Well, he hooked up with one of my friends while we were together. He denied it until the end, even though I had proof. None of my friends could understand his appeal to me. I wouldn't even argue with them about it. "Yes, he's a jerk," I'd concede, "but he's so much fun to watch movies with."

He'd be so open-minded about everything. Most guys get fussy and argue about what we should watch. But, with this guy, I'd suggest watching one of my favorite ones that he'd never seen before, like Breaking Away or Soy Cuba, and he'd happily agree. He'd pay attention to the film. He'd ask me to put it on pause while he took a bathroom break because he didn't want to miss one scene. We'd snuggle up on my couch with his arm around me. He'd pet my hair and laugh at all the right places of the film. It was a downright pleasure watching movies with him!

Even though I had to get rid of him eventually, it still made me smile to see that he put Breaking Away as one of his favorite films on his Facebook page. If I were filling out his report card on dating me, I'd give him an "F" in everything, but as a movie-watching companion, he'd get a total "A+" Unfortunately, when you'd average his GPA out, it'd still be a failing grade.
