someone fell asleep at the computer
It's kind of weird that people feel the need to ask their exes if it's okay for them to date other people. 'Cause I mean, hey, I got rid of you already, I don't care what you do now. Go off and be free, do whatever makes you happy. Maybe that's just me though.
And then that somehow leads to you giving your ex relationship advice, except it's not really advice, as it is teaching him common sense. Which kind of makes you wonder, what the fuck had you been doing all that time?
Edit: Apparently I didn't make my sarcasm evident, which was a fail on my part. This post was not meant to offend anyone involved and I should really learn how to talk to an audience that's bigger than the inside of my head. I'm completely okay with Xiao and his romantic interest. I wish him luck with it and I hope it works out. I'm completely okay with him talking to me about it. I am willing to offer what little knowledge I know about relationships in general. I have not been offended or angered by any past events, no "ex code" was violated, and I was not trying to make a pass at anyone, except for myself.
This post was basically me observing something I see a lot: people asking their exes if it's okay for them to date other people. It's considerate, yes, but it's not really necessary, as the other person technically has no say in your life anyway. I think I expressed the sentiment too aggressively, too dismissively, but really, I'm not bothered by it at all. I just thought it was a funny thing that people did.
The second part was referenced from a series of texts last night between me and Xiao. He was confused about something (he thought he and his romantic interest were officially a couple, but she didn't think that yet) and we cleared up when it could be determined that they were officially together. He said, paraphrased, "I didn't know you were such a relationship guru. Or is this just common sense?" I said, "Yes, it's common sense," because it was.
As for the "what the fuck had you been doing all that time?" part, I am still just as clueless as he is about relationships. That is all.
I'm sorry for offending anyone. That was not my intention. I will be more careful of what I put on this blog, because somehow, more than four people read it now.
