After posting ‘Officially A Chump’ three noteworthy things occurred.
1) Someone important to me read the entry and said while they had lost all respect for her they were beginning to lose respect for me for letting it go on for so long.
2) An attractive bisexual woman I had never met before expressed an interest in me based solely on one picture and some pithy comments I wrote on a website.
3) She (the tour guide of ‘Left Behind’) came online and shortly before midnight, without any prompting said something along the lines of “thanks for tonight, it was just what I needed”
So what does it all mean?
1) If I want to retain some self respect (to say nothing of that of my friends) I need to make a move, clearly putting my foot down wasn’t sufficient.
2) I’m still attractive to attractive people who might just value my quirkiness (to say nothing of valuing me).
3) This isn’t going to be easy. Like when in Office Space the guy talks about doing just enough to avoid being fired she seems to stop just short of furnishing irrefutable just cause to dump.
So what will I do? What will I say? I plan to suggest we try being friends because clearly we need to work on the basics, like respect.
