It's safe to say that when one must edit the "story of how we met" depending on the company, it's a good forecast of a defunct relationship as well. But who am I to judge.
I met him on the streets of the Meatpacking district while V and I were completely infused with a smattering of chemicals and an adrenaline rush for the next after-party. Our new company sported an accent and a cute little smile, almost the only two things I could remember from that night. Thanks to the recession, we could find no after-party and found our separate cabs home, but not before he could ask for my number and send me on my way.
And I think this is the moment in my life where I actually decided to pull a Carrie Bradshaw and work on an experiment about the age-old differences in man vs. woman on the "casual relationship." Needless to say, my experiment went the same way as Carrie's.
I wish this story had a cute ending for my non-audience, but sadly after six months of sporadic semi-romantic trysting, I believe the end has arrived. It was predicted ages ago, but girls like me, we hold on to inklings of hope even when we've become completely cynical about everything else in our lives. I think they did a study on this blaming Disney...
Anyway, in a silly stupor, I almost deleted his number last night. I decided that wasn't the mature route, but really now, when have I ever taken the high road in times like these? hmm, never.
Case closed. Maybe.
I have told a hundred people, in my life, that they should have more confidence, in regards to a variety of situations. But you gave me the link to this blog with a long disclaimer about how it wasn't much, and in all the motivational attempts I have made to boost peoples' self certainty, this will have been the most sincere- your aprehension toward having an audience for your life (or at least this blog)is the most unwarranted display of doubt I have ever witnessed. Your words are elegant, and your messages uplifting. I read this immediately after I spoke to you and it immediately made me smile.
