I'm feeling sad and lonely tonight. I'm just missing that ultimate connection with someone. Thank God for my girls, or I don't think I'd have survived this year.
Was supposed to do dinner with Todd this evening, but after waiting until 9:30pm for him to text or call, I gave up. Had a Caesar salad and piece of cornbread at C's, then came home. He text me on my drive home: “Hey, I've got a beer and a taco with your name on it.”
I realized on the way home that I have not been preparing for my class which is tomorrow and really should take some time tonight to work on my scene. So, I replied to his text and told him that I am gonna pass on the taco tonight, because I've got an early morning and need my beauty sleep. He took a while to respond and I can't help but feel like it wasn't said with the nicest of feelings.
Is he possibly pissed at me?
Ugh. I hate men. One of the new girls at work today asked about Madrid. She was out with us the night I met him. I told her that he's just like all the other guys out there in L.A. and a waste of my time. I do somewhat regret the two days I spent with him. I know I shouldn't, because at the time it was great and wonderful, but what did it do for me in the long run?
He uses people. He said that to me. He was using me for a bed to sleep in those two nights so that he didn't have to sleep on a couch at Laurie's place. I'm pathetic.
I got a text from a surfer guy that I met in Malibu on Sunday. He approached me and Nikki as we were getting into my car and him and his friend exchanged numbers with us. He was cute, but my best guess is that he is 36 yrs old. Again, where have all the young guys gone? He lives in Hermosa beach and invited me and Nikki to come chill down there sometime.
The reason I was sort of happy to meet him was because we weren't meeting in a bar. Everyone always wonders, “Where else do you meet people?” Well, apparently, you hang out by a bunch of surfers and one is bound to strike up a conversation with you. So, he's one of the first guys I've exchanged numbers with in L.A. that was not in a bar. How refreshing.
He wants to hang out this Friday night. I'm not opposed to it, but do I really need to enter another man into my life right now? Not really.
The hardest thing about this year is having faith. I worry that if I shun one of these guys that maybe, just maybe he could've been great and we could've really hit it off. But then I allow myself to go too far and just end up being used. How do I trust in fate and let the universe take the steering wheel? I'm too scared to let go of it!
Ugh. I don't feel like I've progressed at all this year. It's a sucky feeling.
I know how you feel. I just kind of ended something with someone and was going to go visit them and decided not to (ring any bells...cough, cough, Seattle?). I'm trying to put myself out there more, but it's not easy. Especially in LA.
ReplyDeleteAhhh Irene you hopeless romantic. Don't feel like a bummer drummer. As a dedicated reader, all I have to say is you're having a great year!
ReplyDeleteGranted, you didn't stick to the "plan" but you are a very lucky girl and that mr. perfect is out there. Just keep yo' head up!!
And you shouldn't give out your phone number like peanuts. DON'T worry about thinking you'll miss that 'what if' for not giving out a phone number. When you know, you will know. In my opinion, the more you sleep around and the more options you have, the harder it will be.
