Tall Guy Vent Again

Following the call from Tall Guy in which he explained himself with a lot of important nonsense… he did call me again. Twice from work, for a maximum of five minutes. There were also a few texts that included mostly mundane things of a nature that could have been sent by my mother, if only she knew how to text. I began to roll my eyes after waiting hours for a reply.

By the time the weekend came and his texting slowed to a dribble and no more calls came… I figured he was not going to ask me out on one of his days off. Yay me! I should get a college degree for coming to that realization all on my own, or at the very minimum a ride on a short bus. He didn’t mention ever seeing me again. In fact the only thing I heard from Tall Guy was that he painting the baby’s room. A task that apparently takes more time than painting my entire house did.

And again, I deleted him from my phone. Actually, I had saved his phone number under “Tall Guy” once again. (As men I'm dating get more serious I change them to their real name) Then I changed it to “Asshole TallGuy” late afternoon. By 9p.m. I deleted him. Haven’t heard anything since I piteously texted “hope you have a good night”.

2 days later and with no response I have come to three probable conclusions:

1)He had a REALLY good night and is still recovering

2)He had a really bad night and lost his ability to Voice Dial

3)He was abducted by aliens who wanted to “probe” him and he is currently bleeding anally on Jupiter (which he has always wanted to visit).

“Practically in love” translates to “I’d really like to have sex with you again if I get time away from the roommate I impregnated or I get bored enough to pretend I care about you some more (but that ended up being a lot of work..)” I should probably understand what he’s going through, but I have some self-respect, so I don’t.

THIS is why single women put up so very many walls when they start dating a new guy. You meet the ones that are honest, forthright and good so you automatically remember the last guy that you trusted with that act and you push this one away.

I thought Tall Guy was full of shit on many occasions and even told him so. He claimed he wanted to prove to me that he is the good guy… said all the things girls hope to hear… then there is the part of me, that thought “Take a chance, or you’ll never really meet a guy who will treat you the way you want.” So, Tall Guy, why did you go through all that trouble?

I'm trying not to be cynical. I am trying to believe that there are still some guys out there that can be romantic and honest and have good intentions (for the most part.) But GUYS! You have to realize that if women are recurrently pumped full of macabre experiences just so a guy can get laid, or waste time, or due to the fact that he can’t figure out what it is he wants out of women… We will never trust ANY of you.

Ok, so I’ve grown a wee bit pessimistic ;-)
