My first Dear John
I sent off an email to G. this afternoon. This is somewhat of a novel experience for me. I tried to be as brief as possible without being abrupt.
Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2002 11:28:04 -0800 (PST)
From: Me
Subject: I apologize...
To: G.
... for just dropping out of email communication like
that. It probably gives some clue as to why I am
still single... that and the fact that I am still
sussing out what the hell I am looking for.
So, there is the typical myriad of excuses (I've still
been sick with this goddamned cold/flu that feigns
death before returning with a vengeance, I've been
busy with movie-related bullshit, work has been hectic
as of late), but the truth is that I'm also trying to
figure out where the fuck I am going (with regards to
a number of things).
You know, there was this scene in Six Feet Under that
you said hit a little too close to home. And yet, it
feels similar to the situation I find myself in. I
like you quite a bit, you're smart, pissy, and your
sense of humor is completely in line with my own, but
I don't feel that... whatever. I don't really know
what I'm looking for because I haven't found it yet.
So, yeah... This is me apologizing for not responding
to your emails in a timely fashion, but also
apologizing for leading you on (if indeed I ever did
that). I don't know whether we were "dating" or just
hanging out as friends, but I don't feel like we will
ever be more than that. And I don't know what to say
at this point that won't sound trite.
