"Something Suddenly Came Up..."

Carlos is not very bright. For someone who says he wants to see me, why not just ask instead of waiting to meet up at a salsa venue? I don't get it.

So... I've dropped him. After the series of texts exchanged this past Wednesday, I'm mad at myself for not telling him, "Don't bother me." But who wants to be rude?

He had asked if I'd be going out on Wednesday, to which I said yes. So, he said he'd try to make it. Now, I know he said try, so that should have been my first clue that he would be a no show. He could have just said, wish I could go, but I have something else I need to get done, etc.

But no... thanks to Verizon who lets me store my messages (Wednesday night approximately 10:30 p.m.):

Carlos: How was it?

Me: I'm still here.

Carlos: Oh. Sorry have fun, something came up and I couldn't go :(

(Reminds me of The Brady Bunch, where Greg or Marcia were so stinkin' popular, that, 'something suddenly came up.' Sheesh.)

Me: It's alright.

Carlos: Thx baby have fun :*

Me: I will

Carlos: Good for you ;)

(much much later-- after midnight)

Carlos: Goodnight

And I cannot believe what I've just participated in... a junior high argument.

I know he owes me no explanation. It's okay. However, if you want to see me, just ask, because like this I feel it's build up for a disappointment.

It's the whole momentum... too much time passes and he turns into one of those guys who say "Finally we see each other!" Really?! No kidding!! Can't stand guys that say that. Correction. I can't stand guys who say it in that certain way that makes you feel like a moron. Which in reality, they're the ones that had 'something suddenly come up.'

It's gets better, or worse, depending on how you look at it. Since I never responded back to him, I get a few more messages last night while I was out:

7:26 P.M. Hi gorgeous how are you ;)
9:02 P.M. Are you mad at me? :(
9:36 P.M. Do you want me not to text you anymore? :/
9:38 P.M. One more thing you are superb special to me

After consulting with a male friend, I sent Carlos a final message: Don't text me anymore. I'm dating someone and I'd appreciate it if you leave me alone.
