The Red Headed Yankee (Ian) finished my sentence for me today at brunch, I was explaining that I had gone out on a few dates with someone, and we just were not a fit for one another. Instead of just agreeing to this fact, the guy unfriends me on Facebook, lashes out at me in a barrage of text messages with all sorts of negative things about me, and then he blocks me on his phone. Huh?
Ian’s finishing to my telling him what happened, “It is not that there is something wrong with you or that there is something wrong with him; the two of you just do not belong together!” EXACTLY!
My favorite part of all of the nonsense was when I told the guy that I was not interested in his advice, and then he announces that he is out. Huh? Things were already over. I absolutely cannot understand the need for such negative behavior. We went on a few dates; we do not fit together; let’s be friends.
So, here I am dating again. My year long hiatus from dating in 2019 definitely had an upside. Did I take another trip to Loserville? Nah, this is an okay guy, I agree with Ian’s assessment of things; we are just not right for one another. Is dating worth it? Yes, I would like to find someone to spend my life with. Dating is a requirement to doing that.
Hilarious, as I am typing this, I get a mini barrage of text messages from the guy:
“Gina kisses good too.”
“And she’ll be in town for concert. My kids don’t miss the bus.”
These messages, were followed by a picture of a woman’s boobs. (Not a nude picture). I presume this is Gina. I am not at all the jealous type. If two people have found happiness, this actually lifts my spirits.
Again, I don’t even sort of understand the need for negativity. I will say that if I were talking to someone, and they were sending pictures of me to someone that they have gone out with, I would have a SERIOUS problem with it. But, Gina quite possibly is not bothered by something like this. Thus, further driving home the point of this post, back to Ian’s words to me, “It is not that there is something wrong with you or that there is something wrong with him; the two of you just do not belong together!”
EXACTLY!
