One last gasp for air: the return of Chicago Boy
Well, well, well… look who magically reappeared from the depths of the great beyond, that mysterious place where men are sucked into the darkness, never to be seen or heard from again. But behold! Apparently the man-eating black hole is equipped with text messaging service (come on, it’s a world filled with men… of course they have electronic gadget hook-ups), because he popped up on my phone like he had never disappeared in the first place.Â
I was having such a nice, peaceful night last night when Chicago Boy bursts out of nowhere and sends me the most retarted text ever, leaving me with a pit in my stomach that almost kept me up half the night. What the fuck, loser??? What do you want from me??? Why must you torture me like this? The funniest part of it was, just like so many other men I’ve come across, this guy REFUSES TO CALL ME like a normal human being. Here’s the txt conversation:
Him: How was ur weekend?
Me: ?? you never returned my text from lask wk.. call me if u want to talk
Him: Im sorry… Which text?
Me: call me if you want to talk
Silence. OF COURSE he didn’t call me. I don’t care if my “call me” texts came off harsh. His ignoring me and dropping off the face of the earth was just SLIGHTLY harsher, in my opinion. Give me a fucking break, I mean really. I just cannot figure out what his purpose in contacting me was. Does he just want to get laid? Does he think I don’t care that he was ignoring me? Are his other chicks busy and he’s bored and looking for entertainment? Is he really just THAT clueless and doesn’t realize that disappearing off the face of the earth for almost a week was going to send me the message that he’s not interested??? Is it even POSSIBLE that he was too dense to realize that???
WhatEVER!!! This dude is driving me fucking crazy, and I can’t take this shit. Fuck off, loser.Â
Alternatively, you have the option of picking up the phone and talking to me in a civilized manner like a normal human being. Anyone care to place a bet on the chances of THAT happening? Riiiiiiiight.
I talked to the new male prospect about this guy the other night, and he gave me the official guy-friend opinion. In fact, he totally laid the smackdown. He was like, “DD, I’ve gotta be honest, sometimes when I’m dating a girl and I’m not totally crazy about her, I just keep seeing her so I can get laid and have someone to hang out with.” Hey, I can understand that. I’ve done that myself. No big deal. BUT, I still insist that the whole disappearing/reappearing magic act is rude and immature, and if you just want to hang out and fuck, you could at least acknowledge it and act like a mature adult. Last time I checked, we were adults. Whatever… I’ve already wasted more time on this guy than he deserves simply by writing this whiny post about him.Â
But let the record show that, for a while, Chicago Boy was actually a total cutie pie, and I did have a great time with him, especially on that awesome first date. Plus, when I spent the night at his place, he was amazingly cuddly and affectionate and I could have just eaten him up with a spoon. Aww, how sappy. If nothing else, he entertained me for a few weeks and brought out the schmoopiness gene which had been dormant for a while.
Then again… the fact that he REFUSES TO CALL ME just burns my sweet little ass to no end. It’s all very reminiscent of Hot Marine, and we all know how THAT worked out.
Next!!!
Since you arent getting any action, and you don’t care about him anyway, you might as well hook up with him for the hell of it so you at least get some.
March 31st, 2009 at 9:14 amDude, I had a girlfriend that acted exactly the same way. Actually, it was Megan, my latest ex. Anyway, I’d call, get vmail, then like 3′ get a txt. WTF? She screened my call so she could text me back right afterwards. Super gay.
Lance’s last blog post..Birthday Traditions
March 31st, 2009 at 1:33 pmMy guess – he probably has other girls he’s stringing along and, if things aren’t going great with one girl, he hops to another. He’s clearly a playa because a non-playa don’t treat ladies that way.
March 31st, 2009 at 5:56 pmAlexander – You know, I thought about that on Sunday night when I got that stupid text… but I did that with Bachelor #3, and actually felt pretty shitty. I’m taking the high road on this one.
Lance – Wait, are you single again??? *has heart palpitations* Anyway, that’s some seriously retarded behavior for anyone over, say, 18 years old. I really can’t understand why people are SO averse to talking on the phone. What gives???
March 31st, 2009 at 5:57 pmMr NYC – You said it. : ) I don’t care how many other girls he’s seeing… it doesn’t give him an excuse to ignore me and then expect me to drop everything to hang out with him again. Whatever!!! Dumbass.
March 31st, 2009 at 6:00 pmAgreed with the above posts. Everyone has had to deal with flakes like this one time or another. You have two choices, play the game back, or move on. These types also seem to find the perfect moment when you move to re-emerge. You did the smart thing and moved on, but trying to view this objectively, how was there such a disconnect between what you expected and what he expected from the relationship? Guess the old adage is true, just because you felt something , it is wrong to assume the other person felt the same thing. I think girls still get stuck in this trap.
March 31st, 2009 at 6:29 pmDrSmoothie – Absolutely, I get stuck there all the time. As for why the disconnect occurred, who knows? I was hoping to give it a chance, and I guess he just wasn’t as interested. It happens. Sigh.
April 1st, 2009 at 10:18 pmI agree. Next! I just recently ended things with a guy that refused to pick up the phone and call me. I did explain to him that the phone has this nifty feature – a “calling” feature. He apparently only used that “send” button after writing texts. Because that was the easiest way to string someone along for some nookie.
Like you, I said if he was honest about that from the start, fine. He wasn’t. Next.
