Waiting for the phone to ring

Posted by Wildflower on October 31, 2004, at 14:50:52

I'm not usually on this board but I'm feeling really desparate.

I've been seeing a guy for about a year but we've never been exclusive or called each other boyfriend/girlfriend. Anyway, a guy that won't commit to dating after a year is someone I don't need. However, he promised me that he'd help me hand out Halloween candy tonight. I've been waiting all day for him to call. He hasn't so I called him and left a message. Still haven't heard anything... Two hours 'til trick or treat...tick, tock, tick, tock..

Why do I torture myself? Can anyone relate?

wildflower ...

it's been a while since i made myself a slave to the phone.

but why did i do it when i did it?
because i was lonely
because i thought i didn't deserve any better
because i thought i could change somebody else
because i had invested so much i couldn't face giving up
because i was stuck in the past
because what i saw in him was only a projected illusion

does any of this sound familiar?

Yes, too familiar... He still hasn't called and I'm left to wonder why. I suppose I'll need to close out this so called relationship and try to take a break from the dating scene for a while.
