One for the books

I must say, I am glad that we started out as friends

J and I are in the books as now being back to just friends
 
I can’t tell you how much this whole situation and him annoyed me
 
Finally I told him, after close to 2 weeks or more of not seeing him that I think we’re better off going back to friends and he seemed to be ok with that
 
Well, you know, when you’re dating someone, you spend a significantly more time together than we did
 
Oh and it really doesn’t have to be MY decision about where we go, what we do, what’s for dinner…grow a spine for a change
 
My friend JD, who’s a Cav Scout in Iraq at the moment, said that I should have been more assertive with J, instead of saying, I am hungry, I am going to go get something to eat, that I should have said, hey, let’s go get something to eat
 
I countered with, why doesn’t he say when I mentioned going to get something to eat, don’t leave, I am on my way over, we’ll go grab something and hang out
 
I make decisions all day long, and yes, I have a really strong personality and opinions. I like it when a guy takes control, is direct and can make decisions. All things that J doesn’t have
 
One thing that really torqued a few of my guy friends is when I said I had the house to myself. To a one of them said, what is that guy nuts, why isn’t he there with you right now?
 
He treated me like I was one of the guys as well and that got really old really quick
 
Meaning that sure we would be kissing each other’s faces off, when we’re alone, etc. but in public, he would tell really off color jokes, talk for some reason like he was black (ebonics anyone?) and then elbow me in the side with that whole wink wink nudge nudge sort of vibe
 
Once he called me and asked what I was doing and I said trying to get my computer to work as its been freezing up on me
 
Stop searching for porn then!
 
Um, J, that’s not funny
 
Sounds like someone’s getting defensive!
 
I already told you that your porn references aren’t funny or relevant and to please just not use that line of humor with me
 
I mean really, what the hell?
 
With all this knowledge I am realizing why he’s 43 and never married
 
Or it could be how he leaves messages on voicemails:
 
Hey-oh, just calling to see what’s going on, anywho, I guess I will talk with you later, okay doke, bye
 
Every.single.message, the same anywho, okay doke
 
Gah…annoying
 
He tried to get in touch with me all day on Sunday and I just couldn’t be bothered…when we were just friends he would call me probably 3 or 4 times a day. Really? What do I need to talk with you about? How I sat around all weekend did nothing even though I had the place to myself? Life doesn’t move all that fast over here, nothing to see, move along
 
It’s a good thing we didn’t sleep together, that would have totally screwed things up!
