He had glitter on his arm.
“My girlfriend.” He said by way of explanation.
Oh. Girlfriend. His girlfriend is the type that wears glitter. I was disappointed, partially from the girlfriend piece but also that he dated that type. I had thought higher of him. He gave another explanation, I think in reaction to my face, which I am sure conveyed my silent judgment.
“She’s 22 and has big boobs. We’re breaking up tonight.”
Oh.

WTF!!?? Tell me this isn’t the guy who has been flirting relentlessly with you. ‘Big boobs’. seriously.

And I stand behind my exclamation marks on this one.

Maybe it was only in my head? He’s a talker, maybe he just talks to everyone? I wonder if he wakes all clients up from naps and proceeds to tease them for twenty minutes. Makes me feel like kind of an ass, though. And either way, the ladies he’s mentioned are not like me – I am not a dancer nor seven years his junior nor the “standard dumb hot chick”. We can be buds though. I guess, right?

There is no way that was in your head. A guy doesn’t hold out his girlfriend status for that long without a reason. He clearly thinks you’re different from the girls he has dated which makes me think it’s a good thing. At least this explains why he hasn’t asked you out. Call me an optimist but I think this is all an indication that he thinks you’re special (I mean that in a good way).

Either way, I think I am going to sit back for a bit, see if anything happens. I think it’s a relatively new relationship – a month, maybe two.
And he did make comments about needing a mature 9-to-5 with-her-own-life type, but that’s not really his MO. He confuses me more than anything, don’t know what to do with it, so when in doubt, I guess I will do nothing.

Wowzers. I like the sit back and wait plan..we’ll have to take things sloooowly with this one, he could be one of those dreaded “can’t make up his mind” types.
July 22, 2008 at 11:19 am
I think he can make up his mind, his mind is just set on the standard hot dumb chick. Which is not me and I really don’t want to compete with that type. Nothing good to come from that, only lowered self-esteem. Just disappointing because I liked him and I liked the idea of liking someone. It’s fine, I wasn’t emotionally vested.
And the best friend is newly single and wants to drink and socialize with a mission. That works, too.

I have to agree with thenextfish. Guys don’t hold out on their status this long. I think you are approaching this in the right way.
July 22, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Oh, Molly. Why can’t I be more like you?!?!
July 22, 2008 at 3:35 pm
hahaha. Unstable and crazy and emotionally fucked? Prepared for the worst? Expecting to be alone? Yes. Everyone should strive to be more like me ;)
Let’s also talk about how my ex called on Saturday to tell me he’s still in love with me. I am so healthy.
Ha, with this dude, I am more disappointed than I am letting on, but trying to convince myself I didn’t like him anyway. It’s only partially true. On my first entry, I wrote that I could see myself dating him, it’s hard to let go of a gut feeling like that.
Not completely letting go yet … only back-burnering it.

If I reject him first, then I can pretend I am not the one hurting. It’s an act … but Lucky, honestly, I have issues … Be you. You’ll be eight million times better off :)
July 24, 2008 at 8:32 pm
I will, with my own unique set of nightmarish issues of course :)

[...] hear his phone vibrate. I picked it up from the ottoman to read the screen; it was Glitter (see here and here). When he screened, I asked how Glitter was doing, surprised that they still talked. He [...]
