Well, kaput always brings a smile to my face
09.12.04 (11:50 pm)   [edit]
:D

*shakes head* I still can't believe the guy. But I am feeling a little smug.

I let it all out with Patrick tonight, and obviously, I could not successfully convey my points to him. His response was "f*ck it."

In summary, this is what I said to him:

1. I don't like when when you cancel (as oppose to postpone) our dates, especially last minute.

2. I don't like being called up last minute and late to get together.

3. I could be treated better.

In summary, this is what he said to me (although his tune kept changing):

1. I'm sorry. I'll do better. [How can you do better on this? Cancelling on someone should be done only on rare occasions. "My buddies wanted to get away" does not count.]

2. He had no real response for that.

3. I'm sorry. I tend to get caught up in my own world and don't think about others.

After this part, I couldn't stop myself from asking..."have you not dated girls before? Do you not treat your friends with respect and courtesy?"

I gave him crap about that late Friday night booty call. I told him I felt cheap and used. And then out came the excuses: I prefer my own bed, I would have stayed if I knew you wanted me to, I needed to let my roommate in [the truth], you do the same thing to me. He kept changing his tune, anyhow.

So I asked him *again* if sex was all he wanted. He said no, and that it makes him mad when I ask him that. He also kept wanting to see me tonight [he kept asking over and over again, by at which point was after midnight. Me telling him that I had to work in the morning was not a good enough reason for no. Why couldn't he even just accept no?]. And when he brought up getting together tonight and tomorrow, I said no to tonight. And maybe to tomorrow. And if I saw him tomorrow, there'd be no sex. And then I said I was thinking about being celibate for 6 months. (that part was more to see a reaction)

He couldn't accept that. "Why? What about me? I don't get it. If I am attracted to someone, then I will want to have sex with them." Blah blah blah.

My counter: That's lust. If you really liked me, you'd hold off for 6 months.

Anyway, our conversation went into cycles about the same issues but in different words. It was getting tiresome. But I did ask him if he'd like me to repeat my points in person since I could convey tone better that way. That's when he said "f*ck it."

And I said, "okay."

:D

Earlier today, when I was stewing in my anger about how Patrick was treating me, I started thinking about what I would say to him when I dumped him...



Patrick just phoned me...He called to say "hey." I cannot figure this boy out. Of course he asked if he could come over. He is a weirdo, and I am tired.

Yeah, you're right about his comment sounding more like lust than anything else. Haha, six months does sound tough, but I don't think his reaction was very respectful. I hope you don't mind my saying...
