the dichotomy of the douchebag and the gentleman

okay, it's not really a dichotomy, i just like that word, but, you've gotta admit, it makes the title sound cool, right?

moving right along....

yesterday i updated my FB profile..added some things,took some out. i'm sure none of you read it either way, but, in the 'interests' section, i put "interested in meeting a guy that's not a total douche bag," or, something to that affect. (i do know non-douche bag guys, i just mean one that i'm interested in 'like that')

okay, so there's a guy that i used to hang out with.

(nothing more. and by 'NOTHING MORE' you know what i'm sayin')

he's attractive. intelligent. gainfully employed.confident. there were a few times before, that he'd invited me over--- i'd curl up on his couch with his cat, and he'd pour me a glass of wine while he whipped me up a tasty steak and some shitake mushrooms (and i don't even LIKE mushrooms, but the ones he made me were like bites of homegrown heaven)

...sounds awesome right?

well, i stopped returning his calls/texts at some point, but i've never really remembered why exactly. i ran into him last weekend and he immediately went into the whole "i got a new phone, i lost your number" schpiel...blah blah (little did he know i had purposely lost his long before he'd lost mine). anyways, he asked for my# again, i gave it to him. why, i don't know.

and now i'm fully reminded of why i stopped seeing him to begin with. he asked me to hang out monday night,but i wasn't up for it, i told him we could thursday night (tonight). i'd sort of forgotten about it, but apparently he hadn't. so i get this text earlier asking me if i still want to hang out. i say sure and ask him what he wants to do. he says "movie at my place...or yours" ....i'm SO over hanging out in the house (HELLO-what happened to taking a girl OUT? you don't even have to PAY for my meal/movie/drinks, let's just get OUT of the damn house, a walk in the park, hell, SOMETHING...let me not get on that soapbox). so i suggest instead,that we go grab a drink or a bite to eat somewhere.he replies with "think i'm gonna stay in." okay...so, i leave it at that. TWO HOURS LATER, he texts me again"what's up" ...so i proceed to tell him that i decided to stay in too, long day, all these deaths have me thinking about my grandmother, blah blah blah...an hour later, he texts me again "you r too emotional" --i wanted to say "and you, are a condescending a-hole" but i opted instead for the more pleasant route, and said "ha, i'm an artist, what do you expect, it's our nature" ...five minutes later he replies with"lol, true...r u that way in bed? ;)"

riddle him that, because he'll never know.

dude, thank you for reminding me why i dropped you like the falcons dropped michael vick. kick rocks douche bag. oh, and lose my number AGAIN, because i feel obliged to do the same thing (AGAIN), in fact,hold on---DELETE.
