( As happy as he is for all the couples, Damon is painfully aware he is not one half of one.
When your flirtationship stops and starts in fits and she ups and skips town because her friend died, you throw yourself into your work. Don't get him wrong, her friend died, that's worth more than a stopover. He is working in Mystic Falls, so what that means is keeping the bored housewives and truants company, but Damon Salvatore? Is good company. And if he's asked, yeah, he's happy Allison's not actually dead. And equally happy the Winchesters are elsewhere. They were getting too much new blood at once if you ask him.
Nobody ever asks him! Even when he's right. Did his inside hunter pay off? Maybe barely, but it did. Klaus did tell him to choose better should a situation like that come up again and then his choice in bedfellows is insulted. As metaphorical as it sounds, it stings.
Everything pretty much stings lately. Damon's really having a time of it. The housewives have gone home to their husbands, the truants have gone home to their empty homes and Damon has a pitiful early evening crowd of 0. He, himself, and him. As if she'd planned, the very person Damon needs saunters in. Her getup is fetching, the earrings are just right and he knows that this is not the casual, let's hear about Damon's problems night. Which is fine. He's gotten by without divulging all his slimy little feelings. He can bottle them up for one more night. )
