<p>I’m way too picky, and I am trying to be more relaxed about things, but I can’t help it.  It’s done with Short Guy after last night.  We head to dinner.  It was nice of him to come to my neck of the woods.  Men always act like they can’t head this way, so that was a nice gesture on his part.  We’re there waiting for the table, and I am talking my head off cause he is just standing there.  I’m talking, talking, and talking.  Then, I notice this hot, TALL, black man, and I can’t help but think: Damn, I wish I wasn’t with this dude.  What made it worse was that the guy started talking to me when he went to close his tab, and I was kind of flirting too.</p>
<p>All of a sudden, I feel breathing, and we (hot guy and me) look down and there is the short dude.</p>
<p>I cringed when the guy said “your girl did good not spilling her drink.”</p>
<p>I wanted to scream, “I am not his girl!!!!!”</p>
<p>I felt awful after thinking it, but sometimes your subconscious says the things you are thinking without you wanting it to or not.</p>
<p>We grab a table, and I was already bored and thinking of all the things that I could have been doing.  One thing that bugged me is that he kept saying that he is all about routine, and he can’t break that routine.  I cringed.  I can’t imagine being with someone who doesn’t have a spontaneous body in his bones.  He eats the same meals every day.  What the hell is that?!  I thought there was hope when he said he switches it up, but it just meant switching peas to rice.</p>
<p>Then he starts talking about his entire routine, and why he changed it.  I sometimes wonder how people live such boring lives.  I realized how boring life would be with this guy when I said that I don’t play video games so much anymore cause I will not leave the house until I beat the game.  He starts going “Yes!”  It’s like dude, it doesn’t mean that I won’t leave the house now.  I am a “Get and Go” kinda girl, so you’re on your own if you think I am not going to get the hell up to go somewhere.</p>
<p>Two things about me: 1. I don’t share food and 2. I hate repetition.  With the food thing, I hate when someone offers you his food just so he can have some of yours.  He offered, and I said no.  I noticed that he kept staring at my food, so after a few seconds, I asked him if he wanted a bite.  He jumped at it.  I wanted to say to him: Next time don’t do the whole fake-me-out “Do you want some?” cause you want my food.</p>
<p>Then, he begins telling me this story.  He goes, “I don’t know if you heard it.” When he began, I realized I did, so I said, “Yeah, you told me about it.”  He pauses and CONTINUES TELLING THE DAMN STORY!  I was annoyed as all hell.  Why did you ask if I heard it if you were going to tell me anyway?! I just tuned him out and started thinking about all the cute guys I saw yesterday and today that I wasn’t able to talk to cause I’m hearing this guy talk about his boring existence.</p>
<p>He also has this habit of getting all high pitch about things.  It sounds more annoying cause of his southern accent.  Every time he gets high pitch with it, I wanted to shake him and tell him that girls don’t like men with high voices.  He is clueless.</p>
<p>He walked me to my car, and I hugged him and back off before he kissed me. I felt like I was on a Seinfeld episode.</p>

What do you do when a guy doesn’t call? I’ve had this happen to me over and over again. It’s gotten to the point that I expect that the guy will never call me back. The worst is when you get a call from him months (even years) later saying that he had so much [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="*" title='Original Link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/14142048@N00/3968776646/'  href="http://heartbrakehotel.com/?jWSfUBSB"><img style="display: inline" src="http://static.flickr.com/2523/3968776646_34514c7440.jpg" border="0" alt="*" /></a></p>
<p>What do you do when a guy doesn’t call? I’ve had this happen to me over and over again. It’s gotten to the point that I expect that the guy will never call me back. The worst is when you get a call from him months (even years) later saying that he had so much going on during that time, so that is the reason he never called. When this happens to me, I usually don’t even attempt to give the guy a second chance. You already screwed me over once, so why should I even try again?</p>
<p>However, is this wrong of me? Everyone has gone through things where they knew that there was no point of starting a relationship, even if the person was awesome. But, shouldn’t he have know that before he even went on a date with me? I know that I have become overly harsh with guys. I think it’s cause I have been hurt more than I have ever been hurt by my two exes that I am afraid to give anything a chance. Every time I feel like I should be positive and take a risk, it backfires on me. Do I keep trying? Or do I give up?</p>
<p>Today I have a date with this guy, and I am trying to remain positive, but I feel like if I put too much thought into it, he won’t be anything but another of those one-date wonder. Let’s hope that I am wrong.</p>
