"I think I was used last night. I feel so cheap and dirty. Writing for Glamour is starting to pay dividends I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t think I would experience. Let me start from the beginning. After writing about Ben yesterday, he called me up to go out for dinner. We haven&amp;amp;#8217;t hung out since his video shoot, so we met up for dinner and to catch up on things. Midway through the meal, Ben noticed our waitress flirting with me. After a little small talk, I found out that like every other knockout waitress in Hollywood, ours was an aspiring actress/model. Meanwhile, Ben let it slip that I was a dating blogger for Glamour. What was different about our server was that she was from Oklahoma and seemed like a genuine, smart and nice woman. Being entirely single and trying to mend my newly damaged heart after a recent relationship with a sweetheart that prefers not to be mentioned on my blog anymore, I thought that this midwesterner was a wonderful distraction. She got off of work shortly after our dinner and sat with us at the bar for a couple of glasses of wine. She was more than eager to let Ben take plenty of pictures of the two of us on our first unofficial date (pictures that you will not get to see today but I might show you in the near future). Allow me to explain the mystery of the missing photos. Even though I genuinely liked her and liked hanging out (we spent some time together just the two of us at the end of the night, which was also really fun), I am withholding our/her photos because for the first time since writing my blog, I think I am feeling slightly used. I&amp;amp;#8217;m wondering if this struggling actress was using me for the exposure she might receive from my blog? If so, so what? She is probably going to be reading this today, so perhaps this post may end things or give her an opportunity to clear things up. I like her but am not sure if I should call her back. Despite her motives, after this post, she might not even want to take my calls. Have you ever been in a position where you felt like you were being used? How can you tell someone&amp;amp;#8217;s intentions?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
