Once Upon a Time...

Once upon a time (August 22), I wrote about a guy who was extremely rude when he met my friends and ‘broke up’ with me via text…well ladies and gentlemen, he’s back!   The exclamation point isn’t for excitement, it’s for disbelief! I think I made myself pretty clear when I said I didn’t care about his glasses because I don’t have to look at them, that our “friendship” wasn’t going anywhere…and I thought he got it…until today at 9:43am.

Him: Hey stranger, how’ve you been?

Me: Good, u?

Him: Good I was thinking about you lately I miss hanging out with you (you should’ve thought about that before you acted like an idiot)

Me: That’s random!

Him: Eh not really, I always liked [you] but you would text me pretty short answers I figured you didn’t wanna hear from me

Me: Well I wasn’t really in the market for more ‘friends’ (this isn't true, you can never have too many friends...but I don't really want to meet new friends on an online dating site)

Him: Ah well I understand I just figured I’d ask if you wanted to hang out get drinks dinner whatever if not that’s cool but it would be nice to see you

At this point I wanted to scream…Who the heck do you think you are that you can just stroll back into my life whenever the hell you feel like it?! I was not happy, this sounded like a terrible idea and I did NOT want to go.  So I reached out to the only person who understands how my head actually works (my cousin) and her response was “I think you should go.  He seems like the type that just figured out he might have screwed up a potential wife”.  Gosh darnit, why did she tell me to go?!  WTF. It must be a conspiracy!

I went back to the texting and said:

Me: Possibly, let me know what day you were thinking and I’ll see what I can do

Him: Tomorrow or Saturday doesn’t really matter I have class tues and thurs but other than that I don't really make plans (now I KNOW he’s gone crazy…he thinks I’m giving up a WEEKEND to meet him…Get the F out of here….no way Jose…weekends are for dates, best friends and family, and you are none of those)

Me: I actually can’t do either of those, but maybe Monday or Wednesday (Ha, imagine that, I’m busy and can’t rearrange my life for your impromptu visit)

Him: Yea it’s up to you if you wanna hang out just text me (Now we’re ‘hanging out’…that’s what friends and hook-up buddies do…again, not you)

The bottom line is this…I’m going to get a drink with this guy…And it’s not so I can “see what happens” or “see if I’m still attracted to him” (I heard all of your comments in my head just now)…I’m simply going to see if he is in fact a decent human being and maybe we could actually be friends, he did introduce me to Archer after all.  But you should know that my ‘second chance rule’ is about to be revised…
