She's Just Not That Into You

A couple of weeks ago I was watching the movie He's Just Not That Into You, when I received a text message from Romeo, wanting to know what I was up to. Oh, boy, here we go. When I told him what I was watching, his response was, "don't be hard on yourself, it's a bunch of BS. It's better to have love and lost than never to have been loved."

What? I'm just watching a movie! I read the book eons ago and never saw the film, okay? Until now... and I was enjoying it until this irritating interruption... to which I did not respond, but he continued, "I've lost and loved. I'd watch the movie with you, I might learn something. You were in love with me?"

Really... REALLY?! Does it matter? I don't know what he wants from me. Actually, I do know, but no way in hell is that going to happen. Did he really have to go there and ask me a question regarding my emotions toward him at one time? Why does he want to know? I wonder if it's an ego thing. I never did answer him because frankly, his texts were pissing me off.

To make matters even worse, this last week we were chatting via text and he ended up insulting me. Yes, he realized what he was doing and I was directly profane in my reaction because he hit a nerve.

He apologizes - via text. Lame.

A couple days later I get this message: "I've been in Tijuana since that evening of my faux pas. Just crossed back to San Diego, that's why I didn't get a chance to verbally apologize. I'll call you tomorrow so you can verbally tell me **** you."

Sigh. I've had enough.

He does call the next day and I hesistated answering but finally picked up the phone. "Hello Domenica." Wow! It must be important because he used my name.

Okay, let's cut to the chase... He apologizes and I say nothing. To fill the silence he asks, "Aren't you going to tell me to f*** off?"

I tell him he already knows that and he fumbles on the other side of the line. So I ask him if there's anything else he wants to tell me. Now he's confused, and apparently needs clarification. I say (slowly, so he'll understand),

"Is there anything else?"

After hearing him say no, I cut him off, "Have a good evening. Bye."

Hmm, and the phone is flipped closed. That was easy.

At least now I feel that I have full closure because when things had ended between us, it was on his terms, not mine.
