So I was very cool with my boyfriend’s family and had known them for close to two years. They lived out of state, about 300 miles, so I would only see them when I joined my boyfriend (when my schedule permitted) on a road trip, which was about 3-4 times a year. Anyway, my boyfriend wanted me to accompany him to visit his family for a special occasion: his little brother was graduating high school. [YAY!] I thought that was all fine and dandy and was excited to attend the ceremony because his brother was such a great kid with a bright future. The only problem was that my boyfriend planned on driving up…

Too Honest
So I matched with a guy on a dating app and we had a few back and forth messages. He said he wanted to take me out and I give him my number. He texted me shortly thereafter with the standard “how’s the weather”, “how are you” off and on. Although he never picked up the phone to talk to me, he attempted to see when I was free via text without officially asking me out. He texted me a few days later to see if I wanted to meet later that night, but I told him that I had plans and suggested the following night. He asked me if I was going on…

Mr. Flaky
So this guy I hadn’t spoken to since the beginning of the year called me around Thanksgiving to catch up. I wasn’t too enthusiastic about his call because he had been unresponsive when I tried to reach him a few times previously, but I decided to hear him out. Apparently, he moved out of the area, 1000+ miles to be exact [I would have known that had he kept in touch], and he wanted to get together. I declined because I wasn’t going to make time to see someone who disappeared for damn near an entire year. As a consolation, I humored the guy by having a video chat and expressed my disappointment…

Food Fight
So I was at a bar crawl with my boyfriend on a Saturday night and he invited some of his friends to tag along. As the night went on, my boyfriend seemed to have a chip on his shoulders by showboating and making snide remarks to me in front of his friends. [Ummmmm you need to chill out because I’m really not trying to tell you about yourself in front of your friends.] We wrapped things up at the last bar and decided to soak up the alcohol with a jumbo slice of pizza. Larry, one of the tag-alongs, offered to buy everyone pizza. He asked what slice I wanted and I said…

Not Interested
So I decided to take myself to brunch one Sunday at one of my favorite restaurants to get some work done. You know…kill two birds with one stone. Anyway as I was working on my laptop, I noticed this scruffy looking guy walking in my direction. I assumed he was going to a nearby table, but to my chagrin, he pulled up a chair RIGHT next to me. [F**K!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are sooooo many open seats in this place. Why are you encroaching on my space?] I was not in the mood to entertain any form of conversation and continued to work on my laptop as if he wasn’t there, but this fella was completely oblivious to all of my non-verbal cues.…
