Ghost Man on First Base

When I meet girls that I really get along with, they are usually committed to someone else. But usually to someone that lives far away. I guess I understand what that is about though. It’s like having a ghost man on first base. When I was a kid I used to play whiffle ball. If there was no one to actually play whiffle ball with, I would play whiffle ball by myself. I would toss the ball up and hit it and then make a dash for first base. The opposing ghost team really had it together though. It was rare to make it to first actually. If you did make it to first, then you left a ghost man there. The ghost man was a great runner, and occasionally would even steal a base. But basically, boyfriends that live in other states are like ghost men. You can’t see them, but they are invisibly scoring points all the time with the girls you like.
