Oh dear...
01.05.05 (8:01 am)   [edit]
The infamous "Ned" called me a couple of times last week. Phone tag. (Is it really phone tag when you see him calling on caller ID and choose not to get it?)

He called again last night. I wasn't paying attention and answered the phone without looking as to who it was... It's not that I've been avoiding talking to him per-se (although it certainly sounds like it from what I'm writing).

We ended up talking for a long time. Last time I spoke to him - I guess it was mid-November - he was just starting to see another girl. I felt the slightest tinge of jealousy until he said that he didn't think it would work out with her. Turns out he's still with her but they are having problems. He said she 'betrayed' him over Xmas holidays. (I didn't really want to know the details - but the word 'betray' is pretty serious in my book.)

"Ned" is a great guy. I wouldn't have dated him if he wasn't. He's someone that I would consider a friend regardless of the past. I have kept him at arm's length because I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to verify I was over him by seeing him again.

Anyway, "Ned" suggested we get together for coffee and do some catching up. After our talk, I'm not sure if this is a good time for it. I have concerns that I might be feeling rather vulnerable right now and not ready to possibly open old wounds. It might be good for me. Or maybe a distraction from someone that I have had feelings for in the past might be a bad idea.

Or maybe I should reconsider joining the nunnery?

Not phone tag... Phone avoidance...

If you don't feel comfortable in seeing him at the moment, then don't. You need time for yourself right now. You have plans for Friday so you need to concentrate on them.

Technically, I have plans tonight, Friday, Saturday, Saturday night, and Sunday...

When "Ned" suggested we get together and have coffee and catch up, I had no problem. Then he started some flirting and I suddenly felt really anxious...

The nunnery just called back, and declined your application. Seems they are fans of your blogg and would be unwilling to participate in a monastic lifestyle change for you just now.

no, not the nunnery!

you've got a rational head on your shoulders, scuba - follow your gut. you know how vulnerable you are - trust yourself. or if you can't, then say no to that coffee, lol.

Yes, I am always Ms. Rational. I just think I need to boost myself with some dates with some other guys first...

Plus - I don't feel comfortable meeting him for coffee when he's flirting with me when he has a girlfriend - even though they have agreed to see other people... That blew me away - because he was quite clear when we were dating that he was looking for a serious relationship. He said he sees her every day - which isn't what a casual relationship is about.

If the situation was reversed - and "Ned" and I were dating - and having problems, I would not appreciate him seeing a former gf and him flirting.

I passed on plans tonight b/c I wanted to stay home and watch "Lost". Sad, eh?

hey, at least "Lost" isn't going to screw with your mind anywhere near as much as "Ned" - at least, i hope not.

you know where you stand with the situation, scubs. :)

You in a convent? I'll end up being Mother Superior before you'd last a week there. ;)
