One Last Chance

October 25, 2009 · 4 Comments

Last week I was perfectly fine with letting the situation between myself and SP die on the vine.  My last communication with her was a few text messages while on vacation.  We went over a week without talking to each other and I wasn’t going to break radio silence.  She decided to on Wednesday and I decided to give her one more chance.

A little background to the situation

SP and I met in August.  We went on several dates, including one that ended with her spending the night, over the first month.  I learned that she was not going to put out, as they say.  Not a good egg.  Sorry, I shouldn’t be harsh.  I’m sure she has her reasons; I’m guessing she wants to wait until some sort of commitment is made (marriage or otherwise).

Back to last night

She came over, we hung out, had a few drinks, and it was my thinking that she would go home when all was said and done.  I will admit – I didn’t expect anything to happen last night, but I held out a little bit of hope.  Sadly, nothing did happen.  We went from the couch to my bed when she said, “Can we go to your bedroom and just cuddle.”  Just cuddle. Emphasis on the just.  I didn’t have the heart to say no, and I figured maybe 30 minutes of it and she’d be tired and go home.

Hah!

“I’m soooo comfortable.  Mind if I crash here tonight?”

Wow.  I wanted to say, “No, you better hit the road.  I’ve got some early morning plans and don’t want you to be shortchanged on sleep.”  All I could muster was, “Sure, that’s fine.”

We lay there in bed.  She was looking as comfortable as ever, ready for a good night’s rest.  Meanwhile I’m staring up at the ceiling wondering, “Why me?”  I settled in for a night of crappy sleep, hoping the morning would come soon.

I guess the one positive was that she was out the door before 8 AM.

Needless to say, I’m done with her.

    I just think that the two of you are moving at different paces (albeit, they are way different speeds but that’s another story all together). In any case, you are obviously not super invested in this gal and although I am not a huge supporter of “letting things die” and can see why you would want to.

      If she contacts me, which may still happen, I will let her know. If she doesn’t, then it’s just going to die. In any case, that’s kind of how this “relationship” has gone. We only text each other, and in the past four weeks, those have been few and far between.
