I Have No Idea #7

Hi Everyone…I know I know!! I’d like to start by saying that I apologize for not being super consistent. I've been busy, what can I say, BUT I do have more stories to tell you. 

I think we ended on “The Wild Child”, in which he is still wild. But now that I am back in school, I might as well stir the pot. What can I say, I like the drama. Let’s begin with “The Summer Guy”. He was great on paper (as they all start). He would take me out on fun dates. I think one of my favorite dates with him was at the bowling alley. He made me laugh, had excellent manners, was athletic, all that jazz. Just as I started nodding my head in approval, he stopped being consistent towards the end of the summer. The early signs of a summer fling. Nowadays they call it “breadcrumbing”. He was always “busy” with work, but would send me these texts that gave me a little hope that I would see him. I mean, the hours were insane, apparently, and don't even get me started with the drunk texting…WOW. You have time to go out with friends every other weekend, but can’t spare 2 hours to go out with me? Interesting, I knew I wasn't a priority anymore - accept it and move on. It was nearing the end of summer, and I had a deep feeling that he had a drafted text ready to send. Can anyone guess what it said? Drumroll please!! “I’m sorry, but I can’t have a serious relationship with you since you’re leaving for college soon and I’m focused on working.” I then responded with something along the lines of, “Good luck with everything.” Thinking, I would never speak to him again, about 2 weeks go by, and guess who I get a text from… yeah, he’s back. Oh, and it doesn't stop there, I mean, he has been in my DM’s since last fall. And of course, I’m bored and I respond sometimes, but nothing beyond that. Fast forward to THIS summer, the man is still in my DM’s and messages WHILE I’M IN SWEDEN. Consequently, he was also traveling out of the country, and one weekend night, he got extremely drunk and started texting me. Do you know what he said to me? “I will fly to see you.” I’ve never heard such an empty promise; I think I laughed when I read it. After my trip to Sweden, he begged me to hang out, telling me he had to see me this summer, as his workload is much better, blah, blah, blah. But of course, he is inconsistent, and “the work is too much right now, I’m sorry, I really wanted to see you.” How did I see that coming? This is why I have other things planned in my life, so I don’t sit around waiting for a man. I don’t even respond to the sad text. I would describe him as a pesky tick sometimes, like what are you doing here? I suppose this was more of a rant than a story, but nonetheless. The moral of this "date" is that they always come back, and if they aren’t consistent at first, don’t bother fixing it and leave girl. Just leave. Lesson: If someone sends you a text saying they don’t want anything serious but keeps texting you, don’t text back. It's not worth it. 

Until next time, friends.
