Ok, I just want to say in advance; I'm sorry. *sigh* Guess who wants to get back together. Yep. Jared. He contacted me the other night via IM, and of course I was a bit snarky to him, and when he commented on my mood, I said, no, I wasn't in a bad mood, I was just get tired of him flirting with me for a few days while he's tired of his girlfriend and then ignoring me for weeks after they get back together. He apologized and assured me they're really through this time. I told him I'd believe him if he was still talking to me in a week. But here's the thing. Every other time, I would go look at his myspace profile, and he would have himself listed as "in a relationship" and there would be all these lovey dovey comments from her on there. Just so you understand, people can send messages to you, which are private, and, if you put the person on your friends list, they can leave comments on your profile which are public and anyone that looks at your profile can see. So he took her off his friends list and deleted all the comments from her and has now listed himself as single. Big change. Get this: he's never left a comment for me before (remember-these are public) and he left not one, but TWO comments, both containing a variation on the phrase, "I know you still want me." I was kinda taken aback by that, because he usually keeps stuff like that private. So, finally after chatting for a long while, I told him, "Well, I'm already kinda seeing two other guys, what's one more I guess?" Tee hee. Snarky. I just wanted him to know that I haven't been sitting around pining for him, cause I really wasn't interested in getting back together. But I figured, hey, free meal. Plus I'm thinking about trying to get him to teach me to play the electric guitar! That would be cool!
Last night he IM'd me again wanting me to come over (which I did not do. No late night booty calls for me.) After we chatted a while he invited me to go camping this weekend, cause he knows I like camping and never get to go. And cause he thinks that if I spend the night with him I'll put out. So I told him I'm completely booked up this weekend, which is true, but then I said that I wasn't so sure I want to go camping with him. He asked why of course and I said, "I don't think I want to compromise my virtue for someone that won't even commit to me." He said, "Come on, you know why I couldn't commit before and that problem's gone now." I said, "Oh, really? Cause I thought the problem was that I wouldn't put out and, well. . ." tee hee. I figure I can be as snarky as I want, cause if he leaves, I'm no worse off than before, right?
It'll be interesting to see what happens now that I've actually made out with ANOTHER super-hot guy, and been (tenatively) asked out by a nice Mormon guy, and I know for a fact that I have other options open. Maybe Jared will be able to grow from what is sure to be a very trying experience for him. Cause I'm not pulling my punches this time. Poor boy.

So you said that you wouldn't compromise your virtue for someone who wouldn't even commit to you? and he said something to the effect that he could now? So...that makes it sound like if he commits you'll sleep with him. Are you sure that's the impression you want to give him? You know what I think of the whole Jared thing, but I just wanted to tell you to be careful...it's a heady experience to have guys asking you out and wanting to make out and such...don't get carried away and forget your standards or anything just 'cuz people are suddenly realizing how hot you are. ;)
PS: After we talked to you in the library last week my mom commented on how you were a very pretty girl, totally unsolicited. ;)
Yeah, it's just that once I IMPLIED that although I wouldn't sleep with him, I MIGHT do other things with him under the right circumstances. Yeah, I'm dumb. Now I know that I WON'T do those things, and I was trying to impart that to him gently. And that's something we've talked about (when we dated before), that there's no way I would even begin to forget and accidentally have sex with someone that I'm not dating seriously and exclusively (cause although I have no intention of sleeping with him, I know that sometimes things happen), and he doesn't want to get serious and exclusive with someone who claims that they won't sleep with him. It's a catch-22. Don't worry. I've been burned by him before. I'm older and wiser now. :)
Aw, shucks! Thanks! I've always liked your mom. :)
What was that saying about "fool me once"? Oh well, it probably isn't applicable. Have fun!
Yeah, I know I act all no nonsense and talk big, but I really am the queen of second chances. I believe that anyone can realize what a huge mistake they've made/ what an ass they were/ how much they really care about you/ etc. Not just guys, I'm talking about friends, too. (Why do you think I still talk to Mike? Maybe one day he'll realize how incredibly annoying he is and change his habits.) Maybe I'm a sucker. *shrugs* Joey says people never change, but I change all the time, so that can't be true, can it?
Plus I got to tell him about my other 22 year old. I told him I was probably seeing that one tonight, so I'd have to compare. Hee hee. That was fun!
