The week leading up to the weekend get-a-way:

Still trying to figure things out here.  After my little “opps” remark on Sunday I pretty much didn’t hear from him for three days.  (After writing this I have to amend my statement, I did hear from him, but it was super brief and/or unpleasant.  Plus, he was super attentive and would send me something every day, even if it was a smiley face.  We also have spoken on the phone almost every night, and if we don’t I get a good night text.  Let me just say, I don’t expect this, especially not at the beginning, but he set up this expectation so when he strays from the norm, I worry…I can’t help it, I just do.)

Monday:

I texted him in the morning.  He responded back to me and that was all. 

Tuesday:

He sent me a text early morning (8ish) telling me he hoped I had a good day.  Between CRCT testing and meetings I didn’t have a chance to get back with him until we went to recess at 1:30.  I literally took out my phone as another text was coming in asking “so are you not speaking with me?”  What the hell?  I texted back saying, of course I was speaking with him, but with testing I was pretty busy.  He responded with “my bad, I forgot.”  (no apology)  I told him I was getting sick and not feeling well.  I got a frown-y face.  I asked him if he really thought I would ignore him and he said no.  We texted a little bit more.  Later that evening I sent a text asking if he was going to be around and wanted to talk.  Two hours later I hadn’t heard from him so I sent a follow-up saying I was going to bed but I would be awake for another hour or so.  30 minutes later I got a text that said “at game.”  I asked who was playing and never heard back. 

Wednesday:

He answered while I was on my way to work.  We texted back and forth a bit.  I told him I was working on kicking this cold and he asked if I didn’t get better, would I still go.  That is twice in a week and a half that he’s asked me if I still wanted to go.  I asked him if he still wanted me to go and he said if he didn’t he would have canceled.  I told him that I wasn’t being snotty but with it being the second time he asked I just wanted to make sure.  He texted later (early evening) to say he hoped I had a good day and would I be around later to talk.  I said sure.  No call. 

Thursday:

First thing in the morning I got an email saying he was so sorry, he fell asleep super early on the couch and didn’t wake up until late.  Wait…it gets better…he says…”earlier in the week I was thinking about our conversation on Sunday, but then I decided I wanted it to get back to normal and then I fell asleep.”  So I guess he was being “unavailable” on purpose.  I hate games and I feel like he’s playing them.  If he had a problem he shouldn’t ignore me, he should address the issue and if he needed time he should let me know.  Ah well, I decided to just let it go, go away and see what happened.  We talked later that night and it was “back to normal” so to speak. 

Asheville and Thoughts:

For the most part it was really good.  We had a lot of

fun walking around, saw a band Friday night and a dueling piano bar Saturday.  We ate A LOT…among other things 😉  We did seem to pick at each other a lot and miscommunication was rampant.  Was it the perfect weekend, no, not really.  Was it enjoyable, yes, definitely.  We certainly have amazing chemistry in the bedroom, but we are both looking for more then that. 

I’ve come away not swooning, but ready to see where it goes…with a lot of caution.   He has some quirks that I need to see if I can live with, and I am sure he’s thinking the same about me.  I’m a little concerned that this soon into it we are already having these issues.  My friend suggested that if we get them out of the way now, it would mean less shit later.  I’m not so sure.  He called me late last night to tell me the big news about Osama.  I was sleeping and we only spoke for a minute.  I emailed him this morning and haven’t heard back from him yet.  Maybe I should ask if he’s ignoring me…

I’m glad to hear the weekend went mostly well…Getting into a relationship means learning one another’s “quirks” I think it happens quite often. BUT if they are things you can’t accept, much better to learn them now as opposed to down the road (why waste the time).

Its good your weekend went well. In the beginning the sex seems important..but its not what holds things together.. Its the conversation, and being comfortable not talking.. the little things.. cause when you are together for a while, the sex is secondary.. BULLLIEVE ME! lol. Some men are funny… they dont like being called all the time, and when we stop, they are all worried.. I say stop, and let him worry. Dont let him think it bothers you, that he is ignoring you… the more we have our shit together and not care, the more the men seem to hold on.. that is what I had noticed back in the day anyway.. Good luck, especially with the Quirks. 🙂 Routin for ya!

Based on what you’ve written, I’d say, his playing “the game.” You should get hold of that book “The Game” by Neil Strauss. Your man is deploying some of those tactics addressed in that book. Frankly, if a guy has to resort to “game playing” to get the girl, then, he can go and game play elsewhere. On the other hand, if he is following “The Game” then he is one confused puppy. Confused to the degree that his self esteem is low. Playing it cool with you and only giving you his minimal attention just enough to keep you interested is just baloney! He either wants to be with you or not. It depends on you too. How much are you willing to be toyed with before you turn the cards around and play hard to get? I say, play him to his game…touche! G~

My bad = I’m sorry in man speak.

RYN: when things cause you to question and doubt, it’s time to get out. I hate game playing with a vengeance! I have zero tolerance for such things. It’s their loss, you know…
