Well, what do ya know!? This person who I had gone out on a few dates with all-of-a-sudden tells me to not call her until next week. Compared to, she used to at least send me an email note, however brief, every day. She used to call me every second day or so because she said she wanted too.(I made no suggestion to do so.) Even if just a brief little chat. And believe me, we have had tons to talk about. Now, she won't even answer a little email. I told her to call me when she wants to. She lives one block over from me. If she was *really* interested in me, couldn't she just ask me out for coffee one night of the week or something like that?
I checked the past few nights, and she has been spending most of her time chatting with others on MSN and internet boards.That is fine...but if you want to make something happen, to start a relationship, or build it, you'd think a little effort to sacrifice say 15mins-30mins out of the week isn't asking too much.But, most of all, I am proud of myself, because, I've kept my cool. Next week, she wants me to take her to some movie she wants to see, but I am having second thoughts. Maybe I WILL be the one who needs.."My time..". It would be fitting. As the song says ..."I'll be around, if you don't push me away too far..".
So, to comfort myself, my sweet loving Niece suggested I go and treat myself to something. So I went and bought a couple of "U2" DVD's I've wanted, and rented some Trailer Park Boy's episodes.
Oh ya, one last thing. She is a social worker like myself. I admitted my past *losses* (which I've explained on here before...and I don't really want to go there right now..) in an email, as she had told me that her Mom died just a few years ago. I got no response via email, or better yet, telephone...nothing. She didn't say.."well..let's meet for tea and talk.". Sorry, I don't mean to sound like I am awash in self-pity, but I lost the most precious people one can lose.
But....you folks on here have been some of the most supportive people for me in the "tough" times, and I never forget that. So....that's how it is...I guess.Now once again, I don't need another person to "confirm" this...but I am a happy, good, loving guy. (OK...I am working on the happiness, but aren't we all ;-)
