As those closest to me know, I've been hanging out with some dude. Not long at all. It's been like two weeks so obviously I'm not hung up on him or have any expectations. He seems to be a cool guy and unlike the one before him, wants a meaningful relationship. With that said, here we go.
The conversation you are about to read took place today. Normally I do not speak ill of situations or divulge ANY information until after they are officially over. Sometimes I never do but I'm making an exception this time because I am thoroughly annoyed and would like some input. Not because I'm looking to rectify the situation but just to know I'm not insane for being annoyed. I'm going to put the entire day's conversation just so that you're able to see how innocent this started out and how it got out of hand quickly. This is all via text btw
1:50pm Him: Had a free minute, just wanted to say hey. (smiley face)
1:52pm Me: Hello (smiley face)
We don't talk again until later because we're both working
4:43pm Me: Working hard?
4:44pm Him: Not really today haha. I am going to work at home for the rest of the week. I'm thinking about food. Yummmm
4:45pm Me: I'm also contemplating what to eat..........
(leaving it open for him to ask me to dinner. tee hee oh games... he doesn't. do I cry? no)
4:46pm Him: Hmmmm. What sounds good to you pretty lady?
4:47pm Me: I'm thinking of Thai. I don't want fast food again. You?
4:51pm Him: Wendy's (smiley face)
4:56pm Me: I thought about that because I was going to the Barnes and Nobel over there but I decided not to for now. We'll see how I feel a little later.
4:57pm Him: Haha. You know you can't turn down a baconater!
4:58pm Me: I can if it's all the way over there and plus the traffic
4:59pm Him: That's true (sad face)
4:59pm Me: Why the frowny face slick?
5:03pm Him: Haha. I'm wondering if tonight would work for a movie.
(I play coy and pretend not to understand that he pretty much just asked me to a movie)
5:05pm Me: Why wouldn't it? Still have work to do?
5:07pm Him: Ya Kinda. Do you want to see one in the theaters? Or watch one at my apt?
(Still being coy)
5:13pm Me: Oh, you're talking about watching one with me? I thought you meant alone. (Silly face) Um, is there anything out you want to see? I don't mind going over either.
(don't worry folks I haven't banged him. I think after the last one that maybe, just maybe I've finally learned not to do that)
Okay so break time. I think at this point things have started to turn and I haven't realized it yet because well, I've said nothing a normal person would be offended by at this point. I came to this conclusion later but I think you'll see what I mean by his next response. Okay break over.
5:15pm Him: If you don't want to it's okay. I thought It'd be fun to see you.
5:30pm Me: No, I want to see you too. When were you thinking?
5:34pm Him: I kind of want to see The Tourist if that's k. There is a showing at 7:40
Now, those closest to me AND those who aren't that close know that I think this movie looks like a pile of shit. It is also a well known fact that I will not see a movie that I think looks shitty. I will talk about movies like this with the attitude of utter loathing without seeing anything more than their piece of shit trailer. It makes my face hot just thinking about it. He doesn't know, however, because the subject has not came up. It's only been two measly weeks after all. I'm sure it would have at some point because I love movies DUH! So, I responded like I would have with ANYONE.
5:36pm Me: Really....?
5:39pm Him: Haha. Don't want to see that movie huh? I really like Johnny Depp.
5:41pm Me:Me too but this film looks terrible sorry. Don't let me stop you though! (Smiley with teeth)
5:45pm Him: I guess I was wanting to go more for being able to spend time with you than the movie being good or bad.
5:46pm Me: Okay. I didn't offend you did I?
5:47pm Him: Just disappointed is all.
I am in the bathroom preparing to shower because, silly me, I think we're still going to hang out.
::::EYES ROLLING::::
5:48pm Me: Will it make you happy to go see it?
5:53pm Him: Don't worry, I found another friend who said they'd go with me to see it.
(How long did it take for him to find someone else? 15, 20 minutes? Someone else to the math)
5:55pm Me (In shower): Okay. So much for just wanting to spend time together. Have fun.
(out of shower)
I do not want to date a person like this and I'm not known for doing things I don't want to so I'm done texting at this point and I do not expect a reply. I get back in the shower because I like them, and I have other things I can do tonight.
:::::Tranquility shattered::::
5:56pm Him: I offered.
I get out of the shower again to call him because quite frankly this is silly and I had too much to say via text. He doesn't answer. I don't expect anymore correspondence with him but I say anyway,
5:59pm Me:So, basically you're saying that since I don't want to see THAT movie you don't want to see me? I didn't say I didn't want to see you or a movie, I said I didn't want to see that one.Obviously I did offend you even though you said I didn't.
6:02pm Him: Jessica I would go see the crappiest movie in the world with you just so I could be near you. It's disappointed that you don't feel the same way. Not offended, just disappointed. (verbatim errors and all)
I call again. No answer again
6:04pm Him: Can't talk on the phone right now
Oh you can't? 'Cause you just sent be a big paragraph plus the thing about not being able to talk. Something wrong with your mouth nigga?
6:04pm Me: This isn't a text conversation "His Name". I have a lot to say and it's too much for text.
6:09pm Him: It's no big deal. I wanted to go see the movie, you didn't, I found someone who did. It's not a big deal.
6:10pm Me: If it wasn't a big deal then you wouldn't have done that. Just replaced the company. You said you wanted to hang and we could have. Also, if you had expressed how much you wanted to see it with ME I would have gone. You may go see a movie you didn't want to see for me but I wouldn't get mad if you didn't. I'd find something else for the two of us to do and gone to see it at a later date. Not just ditch you.
6:13pm Him: Then you're obviously a better person than I am.
6:15pm Me: Not what I'm saying at all
It does make me better though. It means I know how to compromise when I don't get my way.
6:15pm Me: Are we done?
as if there was anything to end
6:26pm Him: I'm just disappointed that you don't like me enough to sit through a bad movie. That's a pretty simple thing to do when it comes to doing something for someone you like.
What kind of person takes that away from this situation? I mean really come on.
6:28pm Me: I'm sorry you took it that way "His Name". That isn't what I meant at all. If I didn't like you I wouldn't talk to you. I did like you.
Note how I said DID also note that I didn't just say "sorry" because I'm not fucking sorry.
6:56pm Him: We will talk later. Smile and be happy (smiley face)
I didn't respond.
