Radio Silence

So last night’s discussion never got to take place. Earlier in the day I told Mr. Whirlwind that I was looking forward to speaking to him in the evening, and that there were a few things that I wanted to discuss with him. Since making that comment around noon, yesterday, there was total and complete silence. Obviously I’m a little upset over this, but at the same time, I feel relieved. If we had spoken, he’d probably sweet talk me into buying whatever BS he tried to sell. His silence speaks louder than any of his words could have. I wanted to discuss the fact that I felt like he was being disrespectful towards me, and this silence couldn’t be more disrespectful. Not to mention how cowardly it is. So I’m ok with all of this. I’ve gotten the closure that I needed. He’s a douche bag, end of story. Obviously I’m still a little hurt, but I’ll take this all as a sign that I dodged a bullet.

Moving right along, being who I am, time for reflection these past two evenings has been good for me.  It gave me the clarity to make some of the conclusions that I mentioned above. It also gave me some time to consider the other men that have popped up in my life. We will start with the boy I went out with the other weekend. He’s sweet, cute, and very kind. Unfortunately I don’t believe that there is any long term potential there. He has many great qualities, but at the end of the day, he is only working part time, lives with his parents, and can’t drive (Let’s call him Puppy Dog Eyes).

Then there is another guy that I’ve been seeing since January. He’s also adorable, sweet, and funny. Again, no long term potential. He works for a comic book store, hates his job, and appears to be the perpetual student type (I dub this guy Comic Book Man). I’ve got my fair share of issues and get a little worried when all of the men I date don’t even have their act together half as well as I do. I think this is why I fell so fast and so hard for Mr. Whirlwind. He has a good job that he loves, has completed his education, and seems to have his life on track.

Finally, there is a new guy that I hope to meet up with this weekend. He seems to have his act together decently, so I’m feeling hopeful. We shall see.
