So I guess This Man should be a bit upset that The Dutchman has put me in the ditch, but after giving it some thought, I realized that I'm not pissed off or bitter. I'm just wondering why he didn't tell me. Could it be perhaps maybe he read my last entry about not wanting to spend the night with him and rather than leave a nasty comment or call me, he decided to totally cut me off? I can't figure it out. But I think the ironic part about it all was just as This Man was about to halt things with The Dutchman he beat me to it.
So it should be water under the bridge, right?
Well, after the last time that we were together (after the whole not-gonna-sleep-over incident), I tried to call him to suggest that we hang out. Now, This Man didn't trip that he didn't return my call that evening and I did pay any mind when he didn't call me the day after that. At the same time, This Man is nobody's fool and when a guy doesn't return my calls after a week or return an email--even if it's to say 'Stop fucking with me'--it's becomes pretty clear that I've been ditched. Take it from me, I've done this numerous times to other guys who couldn't quite get the hint.
So as with ditching a guy or being ditched, This Man likes to have a little ceremony of deleting their phone numbers out of my phone. It prevents me from ever drunk calling them and if they ever call me, I know not to answer it.
Call it This Man's 'Getting Over You' process.
