I think it goes to show what good friends Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are, that one could date Gwenyth, then when it didn't work out, the other did, and then back again, but I'm not sure. It's weird dating a friends ex, or having a friend date an ex. I think essentially, when it didn't work out, the conversation went:

"But she's my ex!"
"But LOOK at her!"
"Yeah, I know..."
"And she's cool, dude."
"That she is, that she is."
"And she's a pretty damn good actress."
"Alright, alright, valid points. Go out with her."
"Thanks."
"But if it doesn't work out, can I have her back?"
"Fair 'nough."

The reason I entered Project Greenlight was, and I am ashamed to admit it, I figured she'd be hanging around the office a lot, and while we were doing the movie, maybe I'd be a little witty, then we would all go out after a long day's work, and her and I could do our own karaoke duet, something from "Little Shop," or maybe a Meatloaf power ballad, and we'd hit it off, and I'd have myself a fine Hollywood girlfriend. Unfortunately that glorious summer was stolen, and I remain single. AG also did not get the grand prize in that contest, so my chances of doing the ex swap didn't pan out.
