N: Striking out
I was supposed to tell this story a while ago, but I’ve been too busy being lazy, and now I’ve lost interst in the whole thing so the post is going to be blah. You’re welcome.
I was “dating” MC for over a month and things were going good. He even reached out to me at 4am (sober) on a Wednesday night to see how serious I was about us because I hadn’t contacted him in two days. I thought - wow - this boy really wants to date me!!! Wooopppeeee! I had our next future few months planned out with activities and concerts and big mergings of friend groups etc. Then - BAM! Out of no where - he stopped contacting me. And I mean, not even replying to my emails or texts - just GONE. I mean, really, WTF! You’re the one who asked me how serious I was about this thing because I didn’t contact you for two days. The one who couldn’t sleep at 4am stressing over it. REALLY? You’re just going to not reply to me. Ever?
Ever actually turned into two weeks after I asked “are you ignoring me” when I got a text during my yoga class (embarassing!) from him saying:
”sorry to leave you hanging like that but i’ve had some family issues. Been a rough time. Again really sorry. Been back and forth between here and Boston”
Not an excuse. I’m sorry he’s having family health issues, but it takes less than a minute to tell me that via email, or text, or a phone call sometime during that two weeks. All those bus trips back and forth to Boston would have been a perfect time.
Lesson learned from this: Don’t buy two tickets to a concert two months in advance thinking he’ll be your boyfriend. You’ll just wind up spending a lot of money to hang out with your wonderful roommate in a park listening to a guy sing who you want to play your wedding song.
