So I liked the idea of me doing this monthly writing sessions I started in January. The first one I did focused on 31 games I enjoyed playing while growing up. Sure it was not easy, but in the end I finished the project and it was fun. This time around I am heading in a different direction. I said early that I have spent a good chunk of my life looking for the right life partner and some of those failed experiments were pretty memorable or seriously embarrassing. Either way it seems like a fun project to write about all of the relationships that could have been, but were not. Were they my fault? Some, yes. I can not lie and say I am perfect in any of these stories, but some of these girls were just heartless in how they went about business.
So I guess without further adieu, let me start this adventure with a bang!
Megan
After my relationship with Tore went sour I was not sure what I wanted. I did not really want to jump right into another relationship, but I was not going to pass up any opportunities like I used to either. I was going to take whatever fell into my lap and run with it. So fast forward to my sister's birthday party. We go to Cheap, which is NOT cheap by any means. (Gotta love the play on words there.) Anyways, we are there with our direct family enjoying ourselves and showing our sister some love. She invites some of her friends and one of them strikes me as cute.
Now, even to this day I have a hard time approaching girls and trying to talk to them. It has never been a strong point for me. I do not know why. The night continues with everyone having a good time and my sister introduces me to the girl, whose name is Megan. She is younger then my sister because she is a student at the school my sister works at and that's how they became friends I suppose. We were introduced, but sparks did not fly right then and there. I sunk back to my comfort zone, which is around my brother and cousin and continued to enjoy the night, harm free. My sister somehow noticed that I had an eye for Megan so one way or the other I ended up walking her to her car when she was getting ready to leave. My dear sister may have influenced this decision otherwise the girl would have left and that would have been the end of anything.
The walk to the car was stagnant. Neither of us knew the other that well, and there was a little discomfort in the air, but I do my best to make any situation easier to deal with so I threw in a couple lines that garnish smiles and it worked. I also helped her get back home, because she was a stranger to these parts being that she was from St. Pete. I helped her navigate her way back to safety and she was gone.
My sister would not let that be the end of it though. She mentioned to me that Megan thought I looked cute or something and that I should pursue her on facebook. So I did. We became facebook buddies, yay! We started hitting up each others walls, but my sister's pestering did not stop there. She told me to stop my flirting and go ahead and get her number already. It seemed like logical advice, so I did. She seemed real easy to talk to, she was cute, she seemed attracted to me, and she enjoyed baseball and the Rays. I thought this was a nice packaged deal.
We work our way from facebook to conversations over the phone. Sometimes I don't even get this far in my hunt for a girlfriend, so hey, take victories however you can get them. We decided to go and watch a movie on those things people call dates. Dates always confuse me. I am great on dates, I think...but at the end I just don't know how to handle myself or how to approach the goodbye kiss. It seems all so archaic to me.
In any case, the movie was crappy, but we had a good time, and I guess she liked the movie. It certainly was not me who picked When in Rome to go watch. To my knowledge we were enjoying each others company. I walked her to her care and we both got in and started talking. One mistake I made was asking if I could kiss her. She seemed thrown off about that and I suppose that was not the smoothest way to approach that situation, but hey, I already mentioned how awkward those things are to me. She had fun on my behalf about the question though and I could tell she still wanted me to kiss her. We talked for a long time and when it came time for me to leave I got out of the car, went to her side, and delivered a kiss. Yeah, there was some tongue, and it was nice. It seemed as though I had made up for my silly, goofiness. All in all, I took the night as a success because we started talking to each other a lot more.
Then came my trip to Tallahassee. It came the day after the date with Megan, and I had told her about it, so it was no surprise there. She was fine with it, and I had prior arrangements made to go there before I had even met Megan. Needless to say it was a trip I was going to go on with or without her approval, but then again, she wanted me to go and have a good time so there was not a problem.
Tallahassee is a fun place. I love going there. This was kind of a strange trip though. I was going during the week and leaving before the weekend. My friends all had school, but it was the only time I could make the trip out there. Plus it was my friend AJ's birthday. I enjoy the company of my friends and I had not seen him in quite some time. The trip was long over due.
While I was over in Tally, me and Megan stayed in touch. I would call her and every so often she would call or text me. I thought we were doing pretty well actually. I had long learned to never get your hopes up for any situation, but for once it seemed as if things were starting to fall my way.
Thursday comes around and I try to call Megan, but I kept getting her voice mail. I tried to text her, but she was not replying. I thought it odd, but I shrugged it off as I usually do in these types of situations. Around night time I finally get a text from her, but it contains those dreaded words that has never been a sign of good tidings since the existence of man.
We need to talk.
I already knew it was over right when she wrote that, but I kept my positive attitude and hoped for the best. She calls me up and tells me these exact words. "Yeah, that thing that you thought was going to happen...yeah it's not happening."
Wow. That thing, was us getting serious I guess, but yeah.
There was no explanation. She was avoiding me all that day because she did not know how to tell me the news.
Okay, so pardon me for being direct, but....WHAT? Everything was going great, and now all of a sudden she dismisses me out of the blue. Why? I could only imagine it was due to an ex flame somehow appeared back in her life, but to this day I am not sure. My tag line for this month's project is...
I Guess Someone Better Came Along
It always seem to be the case involving me and women. I just do not get women sometimes. The worst thing about it is I wish she would have told me she felt that way BEFORE I went to Tallahassee. Why the hell would you lead me to believe everything was good between us, when it was actually over? She told me it was because she did not want me to have a bad time in Tally because of that. I find that to be some fresh BS right there, but whatever.
It just so happens that this might have been the best thing to happen to me though. Despite the swift kick in the face this girl gave me, when I came back from my vacation, just pissed at women all over the globe did I first lay eyes upon Amanda at work. Had things turned out differently with Megan, me and Amanda might never have blossomed.
So thanks I guess for being a mega bitch lady. I was too good for you anyways.
