i have this feeling like things are not only not going anywhere with kristen, but they have stopped abruptly and are pretending never to have started. i am cool with someone forgetting to call me back, or to call me like they said they would, but people who don't call, and the don't return calls are really sad. i mean, we are all adults here right? can you not take 5 minutes out of your busy life to brush someone aside?
boy that all really comes across as incredably bitter, but i'm not really bitter at all. i have a severe apathy to the whole thing. i am enjoying work and AO and the rest of my social life so much that it is almost as if this whole thing didn't really matter, which is funny beacuse that is what i always kept telling myself...

Welcome to the adult world. A friend of mine brushed off his girlfriend by not calling her back. He didn't want to tell her that a long distance relationship was just not something he wanted to deal with. I told him just to tell her that he was hurting her more by being that way. He said that he really wasn't - that she'd throw a fit and stuff. But really, I would like to be told that I am just not wanted anymore rather than be brushed off with lots of questions unanswered. Some people are just to afraid of upsetting people and others are just too selfish to be uncomfortable for a few minutes. I wish everyone would understand that a little uncomfortable now can save a lot of energy in the long run. Sorry to barf up some frustration here, but I get really frustrated when my friend lead and are led to this grey area that is so preventable. Grrrrrrrrr. Well, crap. Enjoy AO for me. I'd turn you into a leet so you could roll around and look cute, but I don't have the time or the money to spend this semester. Juice!

Hi Aaron, Just commenting on what you are going through. The guy I am dating now for about 6 months did that to me also. After about 2 months of us being together we got really close and we got into our first arguement and he asked me was there anything that he could do to make it better and I said no and he didnt call or come by for about a month and finally just showed up and told me that he loved me and that I had hurt him and thats why he brushed me off because he didnt want to get hurt by me or my words that I really didnt mean so maybe she cares alot about you and is scared of that and instead of telling you she is going to run from you. Just my situation....Just a thought...gotta go

now i am confronted with a similar dilema. friendly efforts going unanswered... but it's like you once said, once the threat of getting close to someone is detected, some people just prefer to intellectualize and push away. and here is what i will tell myself: their loss.
