First of all RB did not listen to instructions, but he's a man so is that really any surprise? I had asked him not to respond. I've been on this planet long enough to know there is absolutely no good way to reject someone. Sure you can do it directly and that's better than lame avoidance BUT there is really nothing to say that will not grate the other person in some way you had not intended. So ya, it kind of NLLL me off. A part of me wants to post it but that's not really fair for him since I hope sure as hope he's being decent and not telling the whole bloody campus. So until the time he does that I will just sum up things - he likes someone else but isn't pursuing it. His words not mine. Which is kind of a red flag - I do believe that if a man actually, like really likes a woman and is not just infatuated or weak he'll do something about it. You don't have to put a ring on it, but leaving her floating around the world is pretty lame in my opinion if you like her. Two he said he'll pray about this whole thing. Now quite frankly this alone almost made me want to chuck my phone this morning. I believe attraction is something that on some level is primal. Either you do or you don't - granted you can not have considered it, just like I've fought the whole RB process in some way or another until I considered it but DUDE, no amount of praying in this world should be devoted to convincing yourself to like someone. To stay married to someone when you love them but don't feel that passion fine, go for it, not going to stop you at all but I am not a pity prayer or a spiritual arm twist. It makes me feel cheap like you're only going to consider me because you think God guilted you into it. Yes I might be all bitchy-mcbitcherson at the moment about the whole thing, BUT gah.
Just one more man affirming why I'm single and you know what it doesn't make me feel bad about myself it just makes me a little disappointed.
So now that is done, I spent today trying to hide from RB and he seemed pretty determined to find me. Really I don't want to think about this, I just want to move on.
Not quite what I was looking for but it's a beautiful song and some of it rings true.
SO FRIGGIN PROUD OF YOU!
