The One Who Was Honest

When a guys text begins with-

"You're an awesome girl, but..."

DON'T READ ON!

 IT'S A TRICK! 

 HE DOES NOT REALLY THINK YOU ARE AN AWESOME GIRL!

 HE IS NOT ABOUT TO ASK YOU OUT AGAIN!

Let's go back about a week with this story.

Thursday. 

After finals. 

Last Thirsty Thursday to experience before break. 

 Of course everyone at our school is at the bars that night.

Geared up in our best small town bar outfits, 

me and my roommates were on the prowl.

One of my roommates was already talking to some guy's, so I went over to say hi.

Turns out one of the guys was in a class of mine. 

Small school. 

Small town. 

Only bar strip. 

It was bound to happen. 

We began talking about how much we like Leonardo DiCaprio.

While I may not remember all of the conversation...

I DO know enough to say that it was a gosh darn good conversation!

Here is a little taste- 

Me: "I WILL marry Leo one day!"

Guy: "You should call me when you do!"

"Of course I will"

"Well you need my number to do that. It's...."

Smooth move right?! 

Totally fell for it too. 

My life...

As the night progressed and the drinks flowed, 

we began to talk about hanging out later that week.

With a kiss goodbye and a very graceful walk to the cab 

(Don't drink and drive) 

I made my way home with all of my roommates only to gush about what happened.

The next morning, I had a text from my bar guy and we set up a dinner date.

The day finally came and 

I was ready to go on a great date with a great guy!

He picked me up, 

came to my door to greet me and 

whisked me off to a nice dinner.

Conversation flowed well and I was sure this would lead 

to something that I have not had in a while.

A second date!

Two days later, he texted me to see how my day was. 

Good sign right? 

Guess not...

Me: "It's good. Where you interested in hanging out again?"

Guy: "You're an awesome girl, but I am not really looking for anything right now."

Annnnnnnd the heart sunk...

When will this whole second date thing happen?!? 

I am starting to think they do not exist.

So while this ended up to be a relation-shit, 

I did appreciate his honesty, even if it was not what I wanted to hear. 

I responded very politely by saying-

"Thank you for your honesty. Most guys would not do that. 

I had a nice time with you and hope we can still hang out as friends."

But what I was REALLY thinking-

"Who the hell has THAT good of a conversation about Leo, 

takes a girl on a sushi dinner date and 

then decides to tell her you're not looking for anything?!?! Tool."

Oh boy's. You're killing me.
