So my professor friend is trying to set me up with some guy he knows.
I do not want this. I do not want to be set up with anyone. I'm a bit jaded right now and am actually enjoying being alone.
In the past few days I have seen the Sex and the City movie and 27 Dresses. These are stupid, silly fluff movies, but I actually did learn something from them: I physically CAN'T do it again. I just can't. I don't even want to. Like all romances, there's a point in both movies where the guy does something stupid and the woman gets angry and leaves his sorry ass. The guy, of course, begs and pleads and she ultimately forgives him and takes his sorry @$$ back.
This last part is what I find to be completely unrealistic. I was incredulous when the person (no spoiler, I hope!) took the guy back. Really? You just jumped right back into the relationship without fixing the original problem. You think that's going to make you live happily ever after? Happily ever after doesn't exist. Wait until it's 8.5 years later and the jackass decides that all of the things you're good at and all of your positive qualities are really what make you a horrible person and throws back every one of your successes back in your face, but spun as failures. Then he'll steal your cat, because he feels entitled to her, since you made him completely miserable for seven years and he deserves her. Men are fickle bastards. Nothing is forever. It's the harsh truth. Don't be so naive to think that it's going to change. It will NEVER change.
So anyway, I don't want to go out with this guy. I now know what the phrase "emotionally unavailable" means. You want me to actually care about someone else and put up with all of their stupid shit? Well, sorry, I don't have the patience to jump right back in and deal with all the petty bullshit that comes along with dating. It's too much. And I just don't have time to care. It may seem cruel and heartless to some, but that's just the way it is.
But my prof-friend was persistent. Plus, he was in the grad student office, which was full of other grad students. So they all ganged up on me and badgered me until I agreed to have the guy email me. The whole "I'm leaving in two weeks" excuse wouldn't work either, because the guy is a flight attendant who flies from Cincinnati to Frankfurt all the time. The whole "Frankfurt is nowhere near Wolfenbüttel" excuse didn't work either, because they wouldn't hear it. The whole "He's a flight attendant so that means he's shorter than me" excuse didn't work, because they told me to stop being petty and that lots of people were shorter than my giant-ass body. The whole "But I don't want to" excuse didn't work, because they're persistent bastards, all of them.
I'm so annoyed right now.
Have a nice day,
Kelly :)
