So Thursday (When I was supposed to have "the talk about a commitment and not a committed penis...") came and went. No text, email, phone call, smoke signal or carrier pigeon occurred on Thursday. I was pissed, but surprisingly enough not as mad as I usually get or have gotten in the past. Maybe because I was planning on breaking off things with him anyway..who knows. But what did PISS me off was the text I got come Friday afternoon. He had the cajones to text me "Hey stranger" and thats it. What the fuck is that about ??? He stands me up and now I'M the stranger??? The more I date, I swear, the more confusing guys are to me. Then come Friday night I get a voicemail (cause I refuse to answer the phone for him) and he is like "whats going on???, I want to make plans with you...give me call...and some bullshit in between the bullshit. I ignore. Come Saturday he calls again, yep another voicemail. Now he is like I don't know if your mad at me but please give me a call I want to see whats going on....yadda yadda yadda. Now I have my balls twisted and I decide to write him an email through match. This is what I wrote:
Jason,
"These days I just find it easier to write my feelings rather than over the phone or in person. I have not answered my phone basically because I don't feel as though we are looking for the same things. We had 2 really good dates but after the third date I feel as though you are only looking for sex or some kind of booty call. I want to get to know you, as a person, because I like you, a lot, which is why I don't want to see You only for sex. Don't get me wrong I don't regret anything and your probably one of the best kissers I have ever met, but I am looking for something, whatever that may mean, a relationship, etc. Your a fireman and I'm sure you meet a lot of girls who want to sleep with you, but I am not looking for that. I also don't appreciate making plans with you and then you standing me up. My time is valuable to me and when you do something like that it shows how you really feel. If I am wrong let me know, if I am right, no hard feelings and good luck with match and finding someone out there, it is tough to find someone nice these days. " (yeah I through in the nice part just to make him realize what he is missing and that I am a nice person whom he chose to be a dick to)
Jason wrote back and said:
"I want you to know I am not looking for a booty call and I definalty dont want a girl who likes me just because I am a fireman. I am looking for something more substanial than that. As for breaking plans I am sorry. My life is a little crazy. I dont work a 9-5 schedule and have things that come up. Usually tyring to help a freind at work. I like you. I think your a very intersting and fun and have a lot of the quailties that I am looking for. I didnt want the last time we were together to be about sex. Sorry if it came off that way. I hated running out that night but if you saw and smelled what I had to deal with when i got home you would understand! haha. I would like to still see you and we can slow things down a little if need be. I still need to get you out on that bike a little. Hopefully you'll givve me a chance to. Again I'm sorry if you feel that you wasted your time or actually I wasted your time. Hopefully you will forgive me and we can see each other again. Jason"
I wrote back that I would think about it and that he needs not to explain about how BUSY he is with his stupid job, I said you don't have to tell me, my job is just as crazy as yours if not crazier. I had to throw that in, cause I'll be damned if a fireman tells me his job is CRAZIER than a big bad FBI AGENT such as myself.... He He !! So this email thing happened on Sunday (yesterday). I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet.
Now as far as the other phone call I got on Wednesday from Yankee boy who wants my forgiveness as well... He really needs a kick in his ass. I told him the same thing, that I would think about it and would call him Thursday. I did call and he answered and told me he would call me right back. He never did. I text him later that night that for someone who wanted a second chance he really doesn't act like it. He finally text me the next morning at like 7am (Friday, the day I had my doctor's apt.) Apologizing again about how it was 9-11 and he got drunk and his phone sucks and oh yeah the dog ate his homework and his grandmother died !!! I don't get guys ??? They really don't have a clue what "trying" means to us girls. "Trying" for them is like...well at least I called the next day to explain...."Trying" to us means call when you say your gonna call and if your phone sucks get a new one or call from a hardline....Don't come up with the excuses if you are really trying hard to win me back and get a second chance!!! So after a few texts back and forth he says I'm sorry again another 5 times or so and says he wants to make plans for Sunday. Guess what...Sunday came and went and no phone call or text. I'm done with that nonsense. No more answering the phone for a douche, once a douche always a douche!!!
So now that leaves me with Caleb. Yes he is sort of back and we have had alot of talks hashing out all the things that bothered me about him. Friday he offerred to take me to the doctor, but my brother took me instead. Come Friday night he asked me if I needed anything, I said no and then he asked if he could take me out to get dinner. (I was surprised and pleased at the same time, the way he asked if he could take me out..) He also asked me to go out with his friends to Montauk Saturday night till Sunday, but I couldn't. But while he was there I got the phone call at midnight where all his friends got on the phone and told me that I should be there and that Caleb misses me :) Caleb also got on the phone himself and said he missed me and that he wished I could sleep next to him that night. Yeah I know how cute... (I think I even threw up in my mouth a little) Then he asked me to come to his uncle's going away dinner Sunday. His uncle (whom I have met before) is moving to South Carolina and his mom and grandmother and family would be there and they asked for me to come. (I just threw up again) So I went and it was very nice. Once again I felt like part of the family and his grandmother is so sweet to me. It's also weird cause I feel like we are GF and BF, but we're not, but when I'm with him it always feels that way. I also asked him if he was going to turn into a douche again once I started to like him again? He said no of course not, he answered that he has a better grasp on his time managment skills and that he was going to be different with me this time around. He also said that he likes spending time with me and always wants to spend his free time with me.... I do feel as though I am starting to like him like I used to, but I will continue to proceed with caution....baby steps and we will just see what happens I guess. It's just nice to spend time with someone who I know likes spending time with me and him telling me more than once that he respects me...means so much these days. No other guy match or otherwise has told me that...forget about showing it I haven't had a guy actually showed me he respected me since Brent, and that was only in the beginning. So even though I am unsure, I still feel that if I'm choosing to spend my time with someone who has SHOWED me he cares, its not a loss either way. I do like Caleb I always have. Braids said she feels as though Caleb is like my Mr. BIG... I can see that !!!
A Happy Ending
