(no subject)
So I got dumped by the guy I was recently dating (prison shrink, 6 months). Right before Valentine's Day, of course.
I'm only slightly distraught. Sure he was a good guy, and incredibly smart. We got along fairly decently, and we never fought (although this was mainly me not griping... there was plenty to fight about, I just didn't care enough to start).
But when it came down to it, he never treated me like a girlfriend. He didn't make much of an effort to see me, he didn't try to get to know me, and he didn't laugh at my jokes.
He once said to me, "everything's a joke with you, isn't it? School? Work? Relationships?"
Life's too short not to laugh, and I need a guy who understands that.
So of course, when I opened up and had serious talk with him about my relationship needs (I'd like someone who's empathetic and willing to listen to my problems), he freaked out, said he couldn't do those things, and dumped me. The day after he apologized and said he'd want to get back together, but I don't need drama. I don't need games. I don't need lack of confidence in a relationship.
So for now I'm moving on. No more tears.
Back to the scary world of trying to meet guys, awkward first dates, and weeding out the douches.
