Damn Jackie, you got your finger in alotta pies
. Sounds like you and Ivan Drago are on your way to some good times.
I had a strange I interaction today. Short preface: went on one "date" (long hike, it was a nice time to be fair) with this woman, she told me she wanted to exclusively see someone else she had gone out with, I tried to be friends with her but she always seemed to resist when she had a boyfriend, I thought she moved with her Navy boyfriend to Washington (from FL) when I stopped hearing from her in January, I chatted with her very briefly two weekends ago.
This happened today:
K: Hi Dan. I know your intentions are good but I just really don't feel comfortable trying to form a friendship with a single guy I went on a date with once when I am not only in a very happy relationship but a long distance one. I wouldn't be happy if my bf were doing the same with girls where he is either. So I am a little confused about how to deal with texts and calls...I'm sure there are lots of other girls in Jacksonville
.
Me: Wowzers, can't let this one go. It's clear now that you never really accepted my intentions. All I ever wanted, after you said you wanted something else, was to be friends. I actively wanted that because I genuinely thought we could be close, good friends. I saw parallels with myself and was making efforts to have you in my life as a quality person, not a romantic interest. If you and your BF would both be uncomfortable with the other having a friend of the opposite sex, then you're BOTH insecure. I'm glad you took the time to say this two weeks after we last spoke, and the last time was 4 months before that. Sorry I made you so uncomfortable by being friendly. I spent my birthday at The Players today with the woman I'm dating, and now I'm gonna enjoy the Suns game with my friends, because they actually appreciate my friendship. Peace out.
Her: Ohkay then
Me: Yeah, enjoy Washington. I hear it's nice...
That really bums me out.
