Not A Shelf Girl!

I discovered a timely blog piece from a few years ago when I needed it most. A lovely girl called MatchDotWrong got radio silenced by a guy she liked, who was being cagey. She called him and left this message:

"I feel a little stupid leaving this voicemail because chances are that you're blowing me off. But the stubborn part of me refuses to believe that I was so wrong about you, so I'm wondering if there was some kind of miscommunication. If that's not the case, I was hoping you might give me an explanation. Because to be honest, I am totally baffled by the radio silence. If I'm totally off base, then I would really appreciate a call or an email. Hope to talk to you soon." Read more here.

She went on to say that he called back and said the magic wasn't there. A totally crappy response, but still, it's better late than never. Closure people, it's the least that is owed to someone in a bad situation. Marie Claire blogger Maura Kelly asked the other day is honestly in breakups is overrated. In the past, I have to admit I haven't always been honest at the expense of protecting someones feelings. But if you don't want to date me or be in a vague/undefined relationship with me, and you're now dating someone else, FACEBOOK is not the way to find out!

ANALYSIS:
So, as the wonderful 20-Somethings blog has outlined, men are divided into several categories, and the man-child is on the rise. As much as I wanted to believe Fred was not a man child, he clearly is. Now, he's in a relationship (thanks for the heads up late last night Facebook!) with a 19-year old. Top off my weeks of wisdom teeth pain (I'm counting the days til Thursday), this was not good news.

I haven't talked to him in days, and as the last few days of dental issues had left me exhausted, I was looking form him to talk and take my mind off things. Well, my tooth pain has been less on my mind now, for sure. Here's how it went down:

I unknowingly asked on Wednesday night what he had done that night (as he often takes a nap until Conan on those nights because 'nothing is on TV'). After talking about a Mets game, he said he played with Facebook options such as changing the language (to Pirate most likely), and now he was in a civil union. Haha- funny story, he met this girl online, they've hung out a bunch of times. My response: What? And some catty but totally funny comments about registering at Walmart. My friend heard what I said and she was in shock at my suggestion they get gifts from the Miley Cyrus collection.

The part that bothered me the most:
FRED: In any event, we enjoy each others company in the present time lol.
(Direct quote, including the inability to space words out an all)

So, did I miss something? Clearly. Although, not too long ago (a few weeks ago), you said you were enjoying my company. After getting our mutual friend to interview Fred about the situation he reported back to me, "it doesn't look good. This is kinda messed up."

Cut to this morning:
I had a text waiting when I woke up. From Fred. It read:

11:31 am
You wouldn't want a PS3 would you.... $200

In the words of Avril Lavigne, "What the Hell?"

Formulating a response that is a mixture of "Are you kidding me?" "I hate you" and "Wow you are a childish, lying, tool!" But most importantly- I am not gonna be his shelf girl while he indulges in childish behavior. Pop out- I don't think we can be friends anymore.

To be continued......
