Torque

I realize I've taken a long hiatus from this blog, but there was a reason.

I had met someone, who I ended up liking a lot, despite the fact that he smokes (normally a deal breaker of mine), and feared if he found this, that it would be a major turn off. He is a foreigner, and I'll call him Torque because my cousin misread his name that way. :D I saw certain qualities that were very attractive to me. There was a lot we agreed on, and wanted many of the same things... or that was the impression I was under.

Well... It did not last long. A few awesome dates (even if they didn't go as planned), lots of phone calls, great conversation, not to mention the chemistry, ended. Very abruptly. What the heck?

It pisses me off more than anything else. I remember the last time we spoke. Since we don't live near each other, I had asked when were we going to see each other next? That's when he says, "I don't know. I have no time." This is such a pet peeve of mine that I couldn't help but get hostile and tell him that that's a lousy excuse, so don't insult me that way.

So he says we could get together the following weekend. I tell him to call me, but he never did. And I did not want to call.

That was the end of that. It was brief, so at least I didn't get too attached. I have run into him a couple of times since then and we say hello to each other in passing, but it's not the same. It feels awkward. He doesn't dance with me anymore either.

How convenient though... pick someone who lives in a different county when you're in the same social circle. What a wimp.
