Jerrified

During the time I first started using Tumblr, I met this guy through a common friend. He was funny, intelligent, very witty. I love the conversation we had and I don't even remember it! Anyway, it was a drinking party when I was in college.

He drove me home and I found that a very "gentleman" kind of thing. Since it was 4 or 5 in the morning, I let him crash in my apartment. He was trying to get me to sleep with him but I said no. He asked "Are you serious?" and I said "Yes."

That was it. In my head I'm like, meehh.. Whatever.

He went to sleep and left at 8 in the morning. I knew we weren't going to talk ever again. Surprisingly, he started texting me. It became something regular but no progress. It didn't get any sweeter or we didn't move to "dating."

I started missing him every time he doesn't call or text me. I miss him when he doesn't show up during drink nights with his friends. I miss him all the time. I liked him a lot. So much, in fact. But it never happened. We remained friends for more than a year.

A year later on December 31 2011, just before midnight, I get a call. It's him. Jill! It's New Year! I love you! I'm coming over your place! Let's talk! In the happiest, most excited voice I've heard him in, he's asking me if he can come see me. 

Life's a bummer! A real bummer! Because a couple of weeks before that call, I went official with another guy! How bad is that? I mean, damn! I make bad decisions. Really bad decisions.

This guy is now going steady with a beautiful lady! He deserves a happy relationship and good thing too! I wasn't really his type, nor was he mine. I guess, I just love the conversation. The intelligent jokes and the concern he was showing me.
