MEN SUCK------and not in a good way
So I started talking to this guy again, His name is Shawn....this is his real name as I am not going to change it to protect his guilty ass! He's had a couple rough weeks, I won't get into the details because this is my journal, not his. He asked me out for Friday night.....okay let's re-cap our previous track record with meeting. My friend, Angie, set us up in late 2004. I talked to him on the phone and we chatted on Yahoo! messenger. It turned out we were both going to see Sarah McLachlan so I told him we should meet then. He didn't make it to the concert because he had the flu. So after that we chatted and made plans to meet again. He didn't call or anything to tell me he wasn't going to make it. This happened twice. So I quit calling him and we lost touch. Then this past fall I logged on to my Yahoo! messenger, first time since last spring, and had a message from him from August. So we started chatting and talking again. He said that he was scared when we first started talking and that's why he never kept the dates. So, being the nice guy I am, I give him a second chance. We make plans to go out. On the day we are suppose to go out, his grandmother died. I understand, stuff happens, so I tell him we can reschedule. He reschedules for the following Sunday. I tell him, "okay, but if you need more time with your family I understand." He says, no, "by Sunday I'll need time away from my family."
So Sunday rolls around and I chatted with him earlier, he had been at his Aunt's house all night and he wanted to go home to take a nap before our date. Well, he went home and ended up sleeping longer than expected, so I ended up eating dinner alone...again. I knew that he had family stuff to deal with, so I shrugg it off and we reschedule to go out again. When that date rolls around I drove out to Madison Hts, about 30 min drive. He's not there, so I wait a little while..still not there. I call his cell, text message him and then I get a text message back from him that he was in the hospital. He had a reaction to his medication....nevermind the fact that he was drinking with his friends the night before. Gee, what possibly could have mixed with his medication...I wonder!!! So I finally tell him that I didn't think we would ever meet. But we still chat. Next thing I know, I am chatting with him and he says. "oh, did I tell you I moved?" I am thinking he moved back to Royal Oak or something. Turns out he moved to Nashville, TN after he got a job doing something for Capital Records. So that axed any immediate plans we had to meet. Fast forward to this past week. I get online and he messages me. He's moved back to Michigan and needs to talk. I get offline and call him. We talked for a while and he asked me out. So we made plans to go out around 6:30pm or 7:00pm. I get off work early, got a haircut, weighed in (that will be for another post) and came home and got ready. By 7:00pm he hadn't showed up, so I called him and left him a message. At 7:30pm I get a text message from him that he is running late and would be here soon. So I wait....and wait....and wait. By 9:00pm he still hadn't shown up or called. So I called him and left him a message not to bother coming that I am not playing his games anymore!
That is the last of him. I don't care what excuse he has, even if it's a good excuse. I am tired of everytime we make plans, something happens. He carries a lot of drama with him, especially the crap that has happened to him recently. What gets me, is that he was talking about how he's tired of going out with jerks and wants to meet a nice guy. I was looking at that as a challenge and that I could prove to him that there are nice guys out there. The problem with being a "nice guy" and that you get treated like a doormat. Well, I don't have anything to prove to anyone. My "Mr Right" is out there and I can wait for as long as it takes for him to get here. But it definatley is NOT Shawn.
