AUTHOR: tbooty DATE: 12/30/2004 09:30:00 AM ----- BODY: once again i'm amazed at the level of stupidity i demonstrate in the dating world. i'm beginning to think that i have had one of those gps chips embedded under my skin that screams out to potential dates "this one will believe just about any line you throw at her!" i just don't get it. no matter how hard i try or how many times i hear it, i just don't understand "guy speak". i don't understand how when someone says (at 4 o'clock) "i'll call you when i get off work" that translates to ZERO phone calls that evening. did they mean i'll call you when i get off work next week? or next month? wtf? y'all know that i'm a proponent of "say what you mean and mean what you say". what is it about guys that makes it physically impossible for them to do what they've said they will? i mean really. is it THAT difficult to call someone when you yourself mentioned it? it's not like i said "call me" and he didn't. hell. at the end of the date he ASKED me if he could im me/call me the next day. and then he didn't. i don't effin get it. the thing that pisses me off the most? I. KEEP. REPEATING. THIS. PROCESS. wtf is wrong with me? granted, now i get more annoyed than upset about the failure to call. but still. it's still a waste of my time. and it's just plain rude. and y'all know how i feel about rudeness. anyway, i just needed to vent. and try to figure out how i can be so stupid when it comes to guys. is it possible to "ride the short bus" in only one area of your life? if so? i must be on the short bus of social relationships. wonder if this bus has any seatbelts? --------
