Only cause y’all asked…
So I’ve gotten a lot of emails, and a good amount of comments on yesterday’s blog post.
Let me first say this:
Yes this happened. Believe me and the friend’s shoulders I’ve drunkenly cried on….this happened.
I have no idea when a switch happened, if the switched happened, how long something happened for or what have you all I know and remember are the words being whispered in my ear by him, and he wasn’t where I thought he was.
The aftermath……… (only so you’ll all stop emailing me, not cause I really want to hash back at this topic-guy!)
Two days later I get a text message: “I had a wonderful time can’t wait to see you again.”
I didn’t respond.
Three days later I get flowers at my office. I don’t remember what the card said but something to the above.
Text message: “Would love to dinner tonight if you’re free?”
I responded: ”I’m not interested but I’m sure you have someone else in your life who you can take!”
Stumpy: “ Oh that’s just NAME, we hang out a lot. She really liked you.”
NO RESPONSE
The next day.
Text message: “Didn’t hear back from you. If you want to pick that girl that’s cool too, it doesn’t have to be NAME.”
AND THAT IS THE LAST I HEARD FROM HIM……
On a side note it forced me to take the stairs more at. work
she has a name!
Guys are assholes!
HA HA! What’s her name?
this is the perfect follow up to yesterdays post! Better then I could have guessed!
WTF. On what planet did he think it was ok to contact you and to tell you about NAME.
you deserve so much better!
us men are clueless. he prob thinks you were already hooked on him as he clearly was on you. at least he was willing to let you pick the girl which was prob a big step for him considering he likes them freaky old!
I just stumbled upon your blog from a friend (forwarded me yesterday’s post) and I must say that I love your writing. The content of the two most recent posts is… I will say “less than lovable” but your writing is wonderfully vivid and engaging. Love it. Keep it up.
Wow, unbelievable! I had to read the original post 3 times to believe it. You think that he would have dropped some clues about the old woman during the 12 previous dates. Or maybe that’s his strategy?
Anyway, I’m so sorry you went through that. You DO deserve better. Most guys out there actually aren’t freaks or creeps.
xo
I think what is lost within this whole story is the “magazine with boobies” part. wtf? Did he really say that? Also, I am intrigued by this…oh also, was his prosthetic leg/foot sporting a striped tube sock? That would be hilare.
You should have followed up. I for one would be curious as HELL as to what they were thinking. Maybe you could have eventually charged them?
oh i want to know the name! please?
