A Weight Lifted

When I slung myself into the crowd of the newly-thirties, I found my dating life couldn’t be more entertaining! By day, I work for the man, because good vodka doesn’t come cheap. By night, I scour the city for signs of culture and nightlife. I’m a laugher, through and through. I’m too nostal...

...moving right along

After I received a text message yesterday morning asking me again why I keep de-friending my ex from facebook, I sent an email to say, “Look...dude!” I simply explained that it just wasn’t a good idea for us to be connected right now. I explained my feelings of distraction and that I wasn’t upset with him, but I hoped he’d respect and understand where I was coming from.

His response was one of shock, oddly enough. He thought there must have been a glitch in facebook and that I couldn’t have possibly deleted him twice! (Someone needs to read Eckert Tolle’s advice on how to rid yourself of your inner ego!)

He was nice enough by saying that he understands, but was also sad because he thought we were starting to become friends again. Okay, being friends on some silly website does not constitute friendship, not in my opinion anyway. He also wanted me to reconsider talking to him again at some point, as he’d hate for us never to speak again.

I just can’t help the thinking that his intentions were not really to be my friend, but to see what I’m up to and feed me information about whatever he’s up to. It just felt like a game to me. You can’t have your cake and eat it too!

Needless to say, I feel as though the wall has been removed from my relationship path and I’m free to keep moving forward.

And it feels really good.
