I'm getting so sick of dating. Why is it so stressful? Women are making a career out of deciphering codes and interpreting hidden meanings of gestures and phrasing. We run to our friends and give detailed accounts of the date, emphasizing tiny little details, because they MIGHT mean something. Women cannot take anything at face value. We had a good time and fooled around -- so what does that REALLY mean?
I don't like feeling crappy like this. We had a great date. The hockey game was fun, after the hockey game was even more fun, so whats the problem? I'll tell you what the problem is. Every Friday Steve and I have lunch. Every other Friday, we go out. The second Friday we went out, we were messing around on the bleachers. Everything was going fine, and then all of a sudden he FREAKED OUT. I still don't know why. Mixed messages are killing me. "I like you, I care about you, I'm attracted to you". Ummm, what's the problem then? We had a relatively big fight and things were kinda awkward on Monday. Last Friday, he was in my bed, bath and beyond. He didn't freak out. This can mean 1 of 2 things: A.)He really likes me and wants to see where this is going or B.) He's just using me. I have no idea. Now I'm spending all my mental power on categorizing everything he did into "He likes me" or "He doesn't like me".
He was reading a text message off my phone, so he stood behind me, with his hands on my waist and read it over my shoulder -- he likes me. Class is canceled for the rest of the week, therefore we are not going to see eachother. He didn't make any plans to see me this weekend -- he doesn't like me. In the car, he put his hand on my knee -- he likes me. I can find a lot of items to put in the "He likes me" column. So what's my problem here? I'm having a bad day based on the fact that he didn't ask me if I want to do anything this weekend? Yes that seems retarded. Maybe I could have shrugged that off, but then my mother told me "He's just not that into you." And that makes me think I'm being used for a good time in the jacuzzi tub.
I was starting to feel better until I remembered that part. Great.
