Possibly a pain
So a few weeks ago I wrote off PP for good. I didn’t tell you because, well, it was a non-event. I got back from Vegas, he didn’t call me for a week. Then when he finally returned my message, he told me he “just wasn’t feeling it” but we could still be friends. Whatever, it was one date and then a month of phone calls. There was nothing there to feel. I shrugged it off and told him future contact was all on him. Then two days ago I finally deleted his contact info from my cell phone.
I should know better. For some reason deleting someone’s contact info is like begging for them to reappear. Why is that anyway? Someone doesn’t call you for ages and expresses a continued disinterest in speaking at all. So you don’t get bent out of shape or anything. You know… whatever, it just didn’t work out. So you finally delete them and like magic, they call you the next day. Only you’re completely taken off guard, have no idea who it is, and no idea why they’re calling. And whatever the reason, they couldn’t have magically done it the week before when their contact info would have displayed and at least warned you of what was up!
So there it was, PP called. Now he’s full of explanations. He thinks he just didn’t give me a chance. He has problems opening up to new people. It was a buffet of bizarre explanations that I never asked for. He’s a nice enough guy, you know? So I talked to him. I was nice about it. And the whole weird experience culminated with him suggesting we go out tonight.
Will it actually happen? Who knows. Personally, I am not holding my breath. He has hours yet to come up with an excuse or drop back off the edge of the earth. And to be dreadfully honest, I don’t care much either way. I mean, I’m willing to give it a try and all, but if I end up at home tonight curled up in front of the TV alone, it won’t be a big crying shame either.
I have become indifferent. In some ways, I think that may be the worst thing of all.

I hear you about the indifference… it’s hard to know sometimes. But, I’m kind of a firm believer that if they are lazy to start, they will always be lazy. See what magic he pulls out of his … pants?
I’m hoping his magic stays in his pants tonight, if we end up together.
wait and see , really what do you have to lose at this point with him? I agree with singlegal, lazy from the start can only means lazy all the time…. actions speak louder than words.. good luck
Exactly. I’ve already written him off so whether or not anything happens now is really unimportant to me. I have exactly nothing to lose.
Oh that is so true. As soon as you delete them they call. It’s usually why I keep people on for a while. So at least when they do finally call I feel justified in their deletetion.
I left him in there for a month. Several weeks after he was going t call one weekend to see a movie. I figured we were done. But up from the dead he arose! (It’s like dating easter.)
Hmmm…I asked you to join me for dinner tonight…:) I’m no prince but I’m a pretty slick bitch at times.
We’ve talked… I think we’re ok here.
I don’t know if it’s really the worst thing. Sometimes indifference can be good. It protects you. Maybe that’s a warped view but it’s how I see it.
At least you didn’t cancel a date so you could hang out with your ex like I did last night. I’m so incredibly pathetic.
Well I wouldn’t recommend the ex thing for sure. But I definitely use indifference as a sheild. A gal has to protect herself somehow.
I demand to know what happened. Please tell me you ended up at that place named after a number and my bartender lover asked about me. That would be such an awesome date.
Believe it or not, my life doesn’t revolve around you.
WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
What is a hole in the ground! Captain obvious for $200 please Alex.
That’s BS and we both know it. Your life totally revolves around me. It always has. Even before we met.
If that’s what you need to tell yourself…
