So after a week of crazy phone tag (crazy even for me), I finally talked to Seth on Friday. Finally.
This started out as a nice, light conversation which I ever so skillfully (erm, whatever) managed to wrangle around into "don't think we'd work out romantically" and "we're at different places in our lives". (To which he responded, "and different places geographically.")
After that, we stayed on the phone for about half an hour, going back to light conversation. I finally kicked him off because I had other phone calls to do.
This would all have been fine if his voice hadn't gotten all small and pathetic, even as he was agreeing with me. I felt like a heel. **sniff** I got over it.
Anyway, I haven't heard from him since, which could be lack of time or could be a sudden desire not to talk to me ever again. We'll see.
Thank goodness that's finally over with.
