So I got sort of cornerd today.

He’s not a bad guy, I just wasn’t feeling him.

Let’s get into the wayback machine shall we? Let’s!

*wavy lines* I’m on the 4th floor at my second job. I come out into the stacks, innocently munching on my cheerios and drinking water. Enters A.
A: Would you like to hang out sometime?
Me: *eyes wide* Ummm let me get back to you on that.
A day passes….
Me to A: I’m not really looking to date anybody right now. We can be friends.
A: Ok. That’s cool. (sumthin to that extent b/c really who can remember?)

So at first, he was real fickle toward me. He didn’t acknowldege my prescence, so I stopped trying to really befriend him. Then as the months went on he warmed back up to me…still a little awkward, but better.

TODAY! PRESENT DAY! At least a year ago (for those who know me, I still had a perm…um yeah)

I’m in the back, nibbling on my FREE rice crispie treat *being cute rocks* and drinkin water (eeerie ain’t it…they attack when I’m distracted by food!).
He makes himself comfortable and was like “hey I been meaning to ask you sumthing?”
Me: Ok, what? *look him the eye, my momma taught me to look people in the eye….you see he’s cockeyed, the left one is lookin at you*
A: Ummm remember when I asked you to hang out and you took a whole day to let me know. Why did it take you so long?
A: Me personally, if I don’t want a relationship or aren’t feeling them like that. I tell them and they are usually ok with it.
Me: *da hell* *shrug* Well, I try to take other people’s emotions into consideration. Also, I had not had any previous conversation with you. So when you asked me out I didn’t really know you.
A: so you were trying to find the best way to let me down.
Me: let down is soo negative. I was trying to come up with the best way to let you know that I wasn’t interested romantically but we could be friends.
A: Do you go by looks and that’s how you know?
Me: No, I also go on personality.
A: Ok, so there must have been something about my personality you didn’t like.
Me: *shit shit shit* Nooo not necessarily *just smile alot and maybe he’ll move on*
A: Since I’m coming from a different culture, you may have misunderstood me. I was just asking to hang out because you may think you like someone and once you spend time with them, then you realize you don’t *I’m of course filling this in b/c we were interrupted*
Me: I totally agree.

*enters another coworker and saves me from more questioning*

I just had a freakin epiphany. It’s basically along the lines of “he’s just not that into you”. The Lord does use people to speak.
