So, it's been about a week, and I should probably say something... I'll tie up some loose strings.
I never heard back from Gallagher or Daddy Warbucks. I hate to say it, but good riddance to them both. While I did really like them, and was attracted to the latter, I think that the first one really was gay and hadn't admitted that to himself yet, so that match was hopeless. As for the latter, the communication style of Daddy Warbucks is so vastly different from mine that it really would have become an issue. I am a planner. I need another planner, otherwise I feel taken for granted, neglected and very unhappy. I hate being late, and I hate waiting for people who are chronically late (which Warbucks was- over 30 minutes late both times, but I didn't mention it because he drove from so far away, so I tried to be understanding). And I really can't stand it when people make plans and then forget they made them, or flake and try to play me second fiddle. Maybe I reacted too strongly to his family plans, but the first weekend he asked me out, he asked me out once, forgot, and then asked me again. He was shocked when I told him we already had plans. While I appreciate that he did go way out of his way to drive me around and pick me up, drop me off, etcetera, it really bothered me how low a priority he gave our plans... he couldn't even remember them! Both times!
Sadly, I probably would have put up with his ish, though (because he's such a tall, cool drink of water) if I weren't so enamored by Mr. Show Biz...
Biz sent me a third bouquet of flowers this weekend, to tell me that he missed me (he traveled out of town to see his dad for Father's Day). They're the prettiest of the bunch yet. This arrangement has these beautiful deep pink flowers that match the pink tips of the white roses... just gorgeous.
Anyway, we've been talking on the phone every day, and he's all I talk about with my sister. She's really getting sick of hearing about him, as I'm sure you are, too! Speaking of, I think I need to find a new blog topic while I'm dating him because this is going to turn into a really boring gush-fest. Okay, you get the point... I like him. He likes me. He's cool. I don't know if he's "the one," but I do feel optimistic about our potential.
So, in future posts, I think I'll focus on other things...
I knew things would come to an end with Daddy Warbucks. Mutual respect for the other person’s time is critical for the success of a relationship. Since you are a planner and a stickler for timeliness, he would have eventually warn your nerves thin… I can’t wait to see where things develop with Mr. Showbiz…Oh La La (J/K).
ReplyDeleteBut I'm still interested to hear about Mr. Showbiz!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: Yeah, I think we all saw that one coming a mile away. I should have listened to Kara's advice and cut ties a week or two ago, but luckily he did it for me! But he was really fun at times, and very thoughtful in some ways, so I think he's a great catch for someone else... someone who is either more fly by the seat of her pants and fun, or someone with a lower self esteem who doesn't care about being an after thought.
ReplyDeleteAvitable: Well, you asked for it! You know I can never say enough about him : )
P.S. We're going out this Friday.
