Have theory: Dan was using me.
Point 1: According to Dave, he only said to give me his number after he was told my family live in Switzerland. This is significant because there is the World Cup in Germany and the Euro n Switzerland/Austria in 2008 and having free accomodation would be really helpful for both.
Point 2: When he discovered in October last year that my family had left Switzerland he said (and I quote) "damn, I was going to crash at your place during the WC and Euro." But then he perked up when I pointed out my family have a flat in Klosters. I did find the initial comment strange, but I just gave him the benefit of the doubt.
Point 3: He has made a shit-all effort since then to be my friend whereas before then he would always make sure not too much time had passed before he made contact again. Funnily enough, in the 2 weeks since I sent that text, I still haven't heard anything from him. I didn't block him.
This might sound like a ridiclous theory, but take into account that on my birthday 2 years ago e didn't know it was my birthday when 1) Dave had invited him to "celebrate Steph's 19th birthday" and 2) we went out and Dave and Cathy gave me a present and cards and 3) there was a fucking cake that said "Happy Birthday Steph!" Still, ask him today roughly when my birthday is (spring, summer, autumn and winter) and he'll look at you blank. I think that this last one is what convinced Dave he'd made a big mistake thinking Dan and I would be good together. And the number of times he's said Cardiff-Bristol is too far to see each other even once a month! Right, a 40 minute train ride is too much. Wow, do I have such high expectations!
And the fact that I am now proper sick means that I will bash his head in if I see him.
