miss me and my antics?
I haven’t written in forever and I feel like I have a ton to say, but I’ll just start with my most current “situation.” There’s a new guy in my life named David. You have missed a couple chapters of my life where there were others - couple good stories that maybe I’ll get back to, but they were even too silly or traumatic to write about. But this one feels different. I need to vent a little bit, and maybe get some advice.
Dave and I met back in September. He’s a drummer, and he played at a benefit that I sang at. We danced and made small talk and then didn’t see each other for 6 months. I ran into him three weeks ago when his band played a set with a band that I was sitting in with. When he walked in I was like “where do I know that guy from?” and then it clicked. He also looked at me like “I know her from somewhere..” and it finally clicked for him, too, and then we were all buddy-buddy and catching up and talking about people.. It was good times. No info was exchanged. I ran into him 4 days later at my morning coffee stop and we finally exchanged information. He called me that night! We’ve been talking or hanging out a lot since. We go to lots of blues jams sessions together - 3 in the last week. He also took me to see a funk band on Saturday. We dance and drink and have fun together. I really like him.
The clincher. He has a gig on Saturday at the beach, and when I heard about it I was like “that sounds fun, I want to come too!” and he agreed, although he said he had a passenger already in his car. I volunteered to drive so that there would be enough room for drums and 3 passengers. He agreed. That was a little over a week ago. Then, on Sunday, we were at one of those previously mentioned blues jams, and this cute blonde girl comes up to him and hugs him and gives him a big kiss. (on the cheek, but only because he turned his head haha) So he introduces her to me, and she seems kind of cold. I guess I would be too. So then, as she walks away he tells me that she is an ex. Now, he is also divorced, so she must be an ex from a LONG time ago - so I’m ok with that. I’m friends with my ex boyfriends too. But then he mentions that she’s the one going to the beach with us. And like a moron, I don’t really get it at the time. But the next morning when I wake up I’m like - oooooooooooh… I get it. And then I feel weird, because there’s that whole just started kind of dating thing and here’s this thing that got set up before I was around, and it was kind of a special thing for them - it’s her birthday I find out later… Etc. So I talked to him about it last night and I backed out. But I sent him an email today asking if he was considering getting back together with her.. Maybe that was a mistake, but I’d rather know up front I think. I did a good job with the email - it wasn’t as heavy as it sounds like it might be. I don’t know - he’s kissing me almost every day.. Someone tell me to stop freaking out.
