Surprise, Surprise

Well, I had dinner with Second Guy tonight. I wanted us to do something in September because of both of our birthdays. But he's one who poo-poos the whole birthday thing. Plus his whole financial excuse, etc. I suggested that he could come over here and I'd cook dinner and we could hang out and catch up.

And we did. It was lovely and he even said a few times that he wished he'd been able (I did not roll my eyes) to come over more throughout the summer. I understand the majority of it. He was still going through crap with the ex, still recovering and trying to relocate himself. I get that; I do. Then he was very busy with conventions, etc. Understandable. It's the other moments and piles of poop I won't put up with again. I think we're past that and we might actually get to hang out more often again. That would be nice, having another friend to see on a semi-regular basis.

Speaking of exes, thought. Through a series of oopsies on my part, I discovered I'd put someone on SPAM in my phone's texts. The only one I'd done that to on purpose was my ex. Well, going into that folder to restore her messages showed me something I was just shocked by: my ex has sent so many texts. He sent a lot in June, none in July or August, and then they picked up again around my birthday. Mostly, he whines about wanting us to be together. Then he talks about me breaking my promise to wait for him (let's not get into the promises he made and broke repeatedly). And then he insults me. Oh, yeah, baby, I wanna get back with ya now.

Uh. No.

Anyway, I'm glad Second Guy and I are comfortable and friendly again. I still think he's super cute, but I'm not making any moves. And this time, it's not because I'm a chicken.
