YOU BROKE UP WITH HIM! HE'S ALLOWED TO DATE

I got EVEN more mad last night watching The Hills. I think the girl rule about how "a girl isn't allowed to date one of her friend's ex's" is a STUPID RULE. Honestly.
Can some female PLEASE answer to this? What is the deal with that? Especially when THE GIRL ENDED IT. I can understand you don't want to stab your friend in the back if he dumped her for you, but if the GIRL DUMPED THE GUY only because they DIDN'T HAVE CHEMISTRY (and for no other reason), why isn't the guy fair game?

Hmmmm? Ladies? Got any answers? It seems like this rule is made so the girl can win in the post-relationship race, but it is unfair....to the guy.

I can see if Doug cheated on LC with someone, then went after one of LC's friends, in this case She-Pratt. But that's NOT what happened. LC dumped Doug because he has the personality of dry-wall.

I think the whole girls claiming a guy for life and holding his rights is wrong. In sports, a team can draft a guy, but they only have a certain time to hold his rights. After a while he becomes a free agent. Is this how it works with girls? And for that matter, if an NFL team say drafts Kregg Lumpkin, but then cuts him before the season starts, ANY TEAM can sign him. Say the Falcons drafted him, but then cut him. Should the Bucs, Saints and Panthers not sign this guy because they are in the same division as Atlanta? NO! He is OPEN. AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE.

and PS, if you want to be on a date, CALL IT A DATE DOUG AND STEPH! Or if it is just a friends thing, then that's what it is. Who cares? Don't hide it. Explain the situation. Doug was in the wrong to call it a business dinner, but if it WAS just friends, then who cares? And if LC has a problem with friends dining together, then she is a fascist plain and simple.

Otherwise, I thought the episode was funny in terms that LC was in Italy and decided to come home early. Apparently she saw all she needed to see of Italy in 3 days. Yep, my buddy Paul Mac went there on his Honeymoon and didn't get to see everything he wanted to in 10 days, but LC saw ALL of Italy in 3 days. Good work LC. I guess the Italian GAP is just like the GAP in The OC, so who cares?
