Single vs in a relationship

Off course this is mostly based on jealousy, especially here in Delft, but it can lead to interesting situations during a night out.

A group of eight dudes, of which six are in a relationship, is going out to party during their so called houseweekend. Completely intoxicated by too many cheap b-label beers they set off for a bar in The Hague. 

The Hague is a rather well explored hunting territory for guys from Delft, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that there are some familiar faces among the female population in the bar. Two girls are more than well known to the two single roommates. Roommate 1 quickly decides to pretend not to know his girl any more, as he finds out he was wearing beer goggles the other night. However, roommate 2 is quickly busy hitting on the second girl. The same beer goggle story applies to this girl, but guess why roommate 2 has the nickname ‘horse whisperer’.

There are plenty of hot girls in the bar as well, two of them in particular show interest in the studs from Delft. Roommate 2 is in doubt; as one of the few singles of the group he has a good chance of hooking up with the hot girl, but that means letting go of his other, to put it mildly, not-rather-pretty-sure-thing. The roommates that are in a relationship talk to the girls as well; talking is always allowed. Final outcome: as could be expected the hot girls want what they cannot get, and roommate 2 by spreading his chances ends up with nothing.

In the taxi on the way home roommate 2 ventilates his frustration on the other roommates. Why would they mess up his game when they are in relationship? The others wisely let him rave, the next day when the houseweekend is over they return to the warm bed of their girlfriends.

“Eind juli gaan we racen met de Nuna5, op circuit Suzuka in Japan”, vertelt teamlid Jacco Boersen. “Vorige maand hebben we testritten op Zandvoort gereden en dat ging er al behoorlijk hard aan toe. Ik reed zelf niet in de Nuna maar in de volgauto, de Ovlov.” De Ovlov? “Ja, zo noemen we de Volvo 440 die we van het vorige team hebben overgenomen. Die naam hebben we ook overgenomen van ze, niemand weet eigenlijk waar dat vandaan komt.” Tijdens de test op Zandvoort reed de Ovlov met vier inzittenden dicht achter de Nuna. “Ik moest er vlak achter blijven om de wifiverbinding met de Nuna in stand te houden. Dat was nog knap lastig met vier man aan boord. Ik moest de bochten afsnijden met piepende banden om de Nuna bij te houden. En dan te bedenken dat de Ovlov 70 pk heeft, en de Nuna met ongeveer maar zeven pk toch veel sneller is. Aan de andere kant, die Ovlov kostte honderd euro en de Nuna zit eerder op een miljoen euro. Misschien dat dat het verschil ook enigszins verklaart?”
