Or maybe I have ceased caring about men.
I did receive a message back from the potential set up guy, and it went like this:
"thanks for the msg, its good to be in contact. hopefully you are
surviving hebrew! i did that last summer, not my favorite... and yeah, I
always appreciate (Hebrew Classmate) telling me about her single friends, so maybe
we can go get coffee sometime if I see you on campus again."
Okay so in cutting and pasting this I see grammar issues. Yes but let us not dwell on this as mine at the moment is horrible... so we will skip that. I just feel like it is a polite slough off and so I haven't responded. I mean I care, he seems half decent as a person and he definitely did catch my eye if we're being honest. But we'll maybe it's the perpetual melting of my brain but it just seems like he's not crazy about the idea and I don't really care that he's not. But I think I said that already. I guess my point in my exhaustion is why do we do this? I mean I've done this, the passive meh in regardless to someone. I know that the person doing it hopes that the other person has enough self worth to take the meh as a rejection. However, you know what? I normally take it as a challenge. I mean what do I have to lose from a shitty date given nothing can really top the dates I have had with BV.
So I am now considering something like the following.
Hey (Boy Who Needs A Name on the Blog),
Thanks for your response. I am surviving Hebrew - had the midterm yesterday and now we're in the home stretch of hollow verbs and all sorts of other wonderful adventures, not that I necessarily feel so excited about it but (Hebrew Classmate) keeps trying to tell me this whole process will be worth it. Well Hebrew aside, I think coffee would be a good idea, but I know (Hebrew Classmate) said you've got your sights set on leaving after this semester, so if your head or your heart isn't even in a coffee then don't worry about it, no sense wasting anyone's time.
Take Care,
S&P
I always feel like I come across intense and yes I could be softer and flirty and Ms. J normally helps me with that, but you know what? I am not always like that and at this point I feel like trying to repackage myself as something else to try and hook a man who is already on the fence is just stupid.
Follow your heart, if it doesn't feel right , move on for sure! Don't repackage yourself, your AWESOME just the way you are!
