But Wait! There's More
For those of you who missed this evening's earlier update and don't read beyond the first few posts, these were two of the last parting statements.
Him (17:34): Rather than frustrate you further, let's chalk it up to two really good people with differing and unfortunately clashing degrees of motivation. No fault.
Him (17:38): No hard feelings I hope.
Then, while AT THE MUNCH, I start getting IMs. At first it was my friend Karen looking to hang out -- which we did later and had a nice time. But then, I found myself curious to be getting IM's from K -- this only a few hours after the notes above. Did I somehow misunderstand his comments? So of course, I just /had/ to read the message.
Him : handsome man, you are still in my thoughts.
Me : really? I'm surprised after the sms...
Him : I am not uncaring, you know.
Him : we can still communicate, can't we?
Now what the hell am I supposed to say to that? Here I had let myself build up romantic thoughts about this person -- probably stupid on my part -- and mere hours after killing any opportunity for developing anything I get this? I said basically what I needed to to placate the situation and send him along. No, gentle readers, I do not intend to engage this man further. I think it would simply be a waste of both our time.
