One last time... I promise.
Seriously, I promise.
So after he had texted me indicating he was back in town, and after I foolishly responded back a week later, he told me he was heading out of town, AGAIN. I didn't respond, mostly because I was swamped at work and didn't care about some lame ass who texted me every couple weeks.
He ended up friending me on Facebook after not speaking for a while and we hadn't seen each other in over a month. I took about a week to really think this one through. I thought "What does this guy want from me?! I hate playing this game of toss back and forth the fickle pickle! This barrel has had enough!"
So I accepted his request and went on vacation.
Yea yea yea, I'm an idiot. I was definitely hook, line and sinker for this guy. No, I don't know why either.
It was one inebriated evening that I finally had enough in me to message him. We went back and forth a few times and the texts were about the same as before; kind of ok but clearly not really putting forth any effort. It wasn't until I was back from vacation and he was back from training that more communication came about. He had asked earlier one week if I were free any evening; I replied that I was busy moving to a different apartment and wasn't sure what my schedule would be like. Ha. I'm busy and you can't get to me. Suck it, you fickle pickle.
He was persistent this time. He messaged me a few times and on Friday evening asked to get drinks to celebrate the new apartment and before he went out of town for two weeks for more training. I gave him the answer he gave me, "I'm going to have to say tentatively yes."
HA-HA, SUCKA!!! It felt really good to treat him the way he treated me. I'm not sure as to why I was sinking down to his level, but I have experienced so many fickle pickles in my life that it was time for revenge, served cold. I said I'd keep him posted through out the day on Saturday.
Saturday afternoon rolled around and some friends and I were going to go out that evening. I decided to invite him. Not sure what I was thinking, but whichever guy was going to date me, he's going to have to meet my friends at one point or another, so why not tonight. He accepted the invitation to go out with my friends and I that night. I was shocked. I gave him the details about when and where we were going to meet up and he said he'd be there. I still didn't really believe it, so I just went about my evening as if he wasn't going to show at all.
I met up with my friends, most of which are dudes and that made me nervous in an instant. I realized what I had done. I invited this guy who I was interested in to come meet 6 of my close guy friends. What was I thinking "Me, my date, and 6 dudes. How could this go well?" One of my friends asked who my plus one was that evening, which I then let them know that I invited someone "special," out that evening. I got what I expected; the oooos and heeeeys and the eagerness to embarrass me as much as possible.
However, he still had to show up in order for any embarrassment to occur. I hadn't heard from him and it was closing in on 40 minutes after he said he would be there. All of a sudden I did receive a text from him saying he had arrived. I was extremely shocked that he came at all, especially given that I was there with my friends. I met up with him and walked over to where we had all been standing. After finally introducing him to everyone, we began to catch up. I was pretty nervous because I wasn't sure how to act. I was still a little bitter about the way he had treated me before but excited that he decided to come out and see me. Conversation went all right and overall the evening was a success. My friends behaved, as far as I know, and he and I seem to hit it off once again.
We split a cab back to my place where we decided to watch another movie. Kind of the same deal as before; I actually wanted to watch a movie and he really didn't want to but rather make out. There were some more awkward attempts at trying to sneak in a kiss during the movie, but something about Madagascar 2 really had my attention. Those penguins are just so darn funny!
After the movie was over, we turned on regular TV and made out some. It was starting to get late and I eventually told him that I did not want him to spend the evening; didn't want to rush anything. And boy was I glad I did. He said that was fine and I walked him out. He headed home which was about 3 blocks from my new place, so not too far. I sent him a text the next day saying I had a fun evening and to let me know when he was back in town after his training. He replied saying he had fun too and would let me know.
It's been almost two weeks and I haven't heard from him since that Sunday morning. However, the funny thing is about one of these sites is that you can see when an individual logged in last. He's logged in every day to this site since I last heard from him. I feel as that if a guy who is REALLY, GENUINELY interested in me is not going to ignore me for two weeks and look at a bunch of other girls' profiles. It is QUITE clear to me that he is only interested in ONE thing and doesn't have any intention of dating me/having a relationship.
This little fishy is letting go of that hook, that line, and that sinker.
Just keep swimming.
