hah, well, I hadn"t seen Xerxes since last weekend, nor had I really talked. I called her last night but she didn"t answer her phone, probably at work, left her a message and she called back and left me a message but it was too late to call her when I got home. So I texted her this morning to let her know that I was gonna be grabbing some drinks with friends tonight, and she was welcome to join us, otherwise I would like to take her up on the offer of going over to her place and having her make me dinner. She responded back, said cool, asked what I wanted to eat, and all seemed well.
Then bang, I get this (in several successive messages):
"Ok so I just have to come out and be honest... I wanted to talk in person but I know once I see you it"ll be too hard cuz I care so much about you. I need to explore me feelings for me ex. I need to follow my heart for the first time ever. I hope you don"t hate me cuz I have so much respect for you. This was the hardest thing I"ve ever done "
I just responded:
"I suspected it wasn"t just a slip of the tongue last week when you said something about it being easier if you had seen me and felt nothing so I can"t say I"m surprised, just disappointed. Like I said, you can"t control how you feel about stuff like this.
Does this mean no steak? "
Probably for the best, I couldn"t see it going anywhere with her, she was fun to hang out with one on one or with her friends in my building, but every time we"ve been out at a restaurant or bar I"ve found her to be really grating. But it"s funny how when someone shuts you down, suddenly they become that much more appealing!
edit:
Her: "haha I"d still love to have you over for steak but may not be the most appropriate thing cuz we have so much fun together. I dont wanna disrespect him either... plus I still feel too much for u to be platonic now."
Me: "So no steak for me or man steak for you hey? Again, I understand and wish you the best."
