MADLY MADLY MADLY, TELL ME THAT YOU NEED ME



How do you find true love?

...if he's not calling you...if he's not marrying you...if he's not sleeping with you...

in a world where facebook messages are code for booty calls and wanting to go to your place means avoiding showing you in public and missed phone calls means...urgh. umm. well...he's just not that into you...
Drew Barrymore had it right when she said you have to go through all these different portals just to be rejected by 7 different types of technologies - it's exhausting!

Ok Greg Behrendt, you made some good points, i've even used some of the lines myself to avoid blatantly stating that I'm just not that into someone.

"Let's not ruin this friendship"
"How about you share a cab with Lindsey and I'll go with Steph since we live in the same direction...sort of...OK. We'll talk...Goodbye."
"I'm just really busy with work"
"Yeaaa, umm, I'm pretty tired"

And yes, I've been pissed off when guys use the lines. I've done the cyberstalking and may have gone for icecream down a certain street a few too many times in the hopes of running into a certain someone who refused to return my phone calls. But seriously, who sleeps with someone and then stops returning your phone calls, emails and text messages!? And my personal favorite is the facebook msg's stating that we should get together, but then never being available to get together. Ahhh...but I left all that drama behind me when I met T-Rex. Or so I thought...I've discovered that there is no cure for this 'phone you back amnesia' that many men suffer from. Even on the night I went to watch this movie, 9 months into our relationship, I am here sitting by my phone, wondering why he hasn't texted me back?! Maybe he went to bed early, at 9:30pm...Or maybe he left his phone in his jacket pocket...Or maybe he decided to ride his bike in the dark and slipped on some ice and crashed...Seriously! And pleasssssse, do not say you will call, come over or do anything nice, unless you in fact plan on doing it. The worst is when you say you'll come over, so I make an effort to shower and maybe even run a brush through my hair, only to hear from you 3 hours later that you're pretty tired and don't want to come over...I know what you're thinking Greg Behrendt...
But you know, don't the occasional surprise soy cappuccinos, dinners and rides home make up for it all. And you know, it's really cute when he reads the ingredients on things to make sure it's vegetarian and gluten free before letting me eat something and when he comes shopping with me...
But maybe we are all just so starved for romance that we think it's romantic being offered a seat on the subway...who knows...
