Are you guys ready for this? Are you sitting?
I got a text from Red while I was on vacation last week, almost exactly two months from the night we were supposed to go out.
Him:
Hey! Are you home? I wanted to stop by... I realize I owe you a big
apology for skipping out on our date and not getting back to u
at all.
My response:
yeah that was a pretty shit thing to do. But in dropping me completely
u showed u were no longer interested. When I realized u weren't hurt
in a ditch somewhere
I lost interest too. I believe in 2nd chances so I hope u can show the
next girl who thinks you're cool that u are. See u around.
Harsh? Perhaps. I just have no use for that kind of bull shit. I haven't heard back from him, which is to be expected since my last text was pretty final. It's odd because after it happened I was all riled up and said I was done with him, but in retrospect if he had come to me a few days later or even a week later and tried to apologize I would have heard him out and probably given him a second chance. Two months later? I think not.
If I had let my curiosity get the better of me I suppose I could have heard him out now, let him apologize and then kicked him to the curb. But really, who has time for that? If you like me you like me, if you don't you don't. If you have issues, congratulations, so do I, but don't think I'm still going to be hanging around two months later. I am definitely not that kind of woman. Desperation is not in my repertoire.
Also, not getting back to me? Like it was a phone call about borrowing a dvd or something? Boy needs to work on his language skills. Even within a 120 word text. And stop by? I'm not even sure he's still in the building. Many units were repossessed and put back on the market. His included.
Ah well, in other news I just got back from a nice, long relaxing vacation in a tropical paradise. Sad I'm back, but for lack of a better cliché, my batteries have been recharged so I can soldier on with a smile. And a fabulous tan. So there's that. :)

Oh god, really? Really?
If I were him, I would have saved myself the trouble... or about the 7 seconds it took to type out that message.
Girl did not come back from paradise to read his pathetic apology.
You handled it perfectly, although after two months, a kick in the balls might have been in order too.
I read between the lines a bit too much at times.
"I realize I owe you a big apology..."
Realize? Seriously? He's that dumb?
I think you dodged a bullet here, QV. On the real.
is this guy for real? after TWO months? what a piece of work!
Wow! That guy is really...something. It took him two months to finally say something about the night he ditched you?? Bad track record there. I'm glad you're done with him because he is so not worth it if he's going to be like that!
He is HILARIOUS!!! two months!! a text message!!! instead of calling or actually dropping by... maaan...
the NERVE!!! He's either incredibly dumb or extremely selfish... anyway...HE missed out!! too fucking shay!!
I'm glad to see you reacting with dignity... and I am even happier you had a good time QV... :)
i love how you handled it. that text you sent was amazing. i think he's nuts. after skipping out on your date and not getting back to you, why even bother trying to grovel after 2 months??
