Time to pull the plug?
The other day, Giggles called me up in a huff because I failed to call her the night before. I was hanging out at a friend's barbeque for the evening while she went out to a bar with some of her friends. She asked me at the beginning of the night if I would meet up with her later and I told her that I would call if I left the party early enough to still go out. Well, from the beginning of the night, I had no intention of meeting up with her, so I pretty much put her out of my mind for the night and just partied with friends at the barbeque. Things started to wind down around 10:00, but I knew another group of friends was hanging out at a bar down the street, so I took off to meet up with them. Needless to say, I never bothered to call Giggles.
The next morning, I got a call from her letting me know that she was thoroughly disappointed and upset that I didn't call the previous night, let alone show up. I held my ground, though and didn't apologize; rather, I simply let her know that I would keep it in mind for next time and got off the phone shortly after.
Let's see if she can stand by her convictions.
Not surprisingly, that afternoon I received another call from Giggles; this time, she was apologizing profusely about being too sensitive about the situation.
Well, we certainly know who has the upper hand in this "relationship."
…
I think I can summarize how things are going with Giggles in two words; I'm bored. Or, maybe four words; the end is near. We're just kind of plodding along at the moment and, honestly, I don't really see much coming out of it. I have relinquished no emotional involvement what so ever, something I don't see changing any time soon. I'm starting to feel relationship-esque pressure as well; I hate feeling like I have to call someone everyday, whether I want to talk to them or not. On top of that, I find myself trying to fill most of my evenings with other activities so that I have an excuse to avoid hanging out with her every night of the week. Really, how can anything serious come about with someone who I don’t always want to talk to or see? It's certainly not fair to her, either. As more time passes, she's only going to become more involved and that's only going to make things stickier when the time comes to call it off.
