It's amazing how an ordinary 50 mile commute can be completely altered with a simple text that says nothing but 'Hi.' Hi - two letters and the entire day transforms from a nice little Thursday to - good lord - where is this going? And sure enough it went to a place that I never would have imagined.
Without wasting anyone's time here - this was a former boyfriend - no names of course. This is Blindfolded after all. Haven't really talked to him much since things ended a few years ago - but no hard feelings what so ever. Seemingly he has been doing just fine without me. I think I saw/heard that he has dated a couple of girls in the meantime - nothing serious. God forbid. Anyway - I digress.
After the random 'Hi' - I simply respond by asking what's up and he says that he has a question to ask me later. Oh good - so you're not going to ask me now so that I don't have think about this for any longer than I have and at this point it's only been maybe 5 minutes. And sure enough - he held out for almost two hours before asking me two questions:
1- do I know anyone at work who might be interested in renting out his condo? And 2 - are we at a point where if we were both single - could we have some non-committal 'hey nanny nanny.'
Wow. Happy Thursday Erin. Sometimes I write things out and I wish I was making them up - but I'm not. This is the nonsense that happens to me. And it's always feast or famine. I'll go months with nothing but long nights of crazy dancing and little sleep to people coming out of the wood work telling me they want to hang out and 'catch up.' How on earth can a girl figure ANYTHING OUT when she keeps getting curve balls thrown at her???
Here's the answer. Always say no to the ex. Unless there is a good reason to hang out with him/her - which there rarely is - no reason to do it. And who just comes out and asks someone to do that anyway? Can we talk about that for a second?
I honestly look forward to feedback on this - whatever you can give me. I'm very interested in hearing what all of my loyal readers have to say.
Goodnight now.
