About a boy and an email....
Gah I dont know why this always bothers me.
It happens all the time so I should expect it.
And NO, Im not that into this guy.
There is a certain boy.... man.... lets call him Beefy man or Beefy boy.
Cause he is beefy. Not fat. Muscular.
But anyways - where was I?
Oh yes, and then there is email.
Do you ever have one of those fairweather friends who only keeps in touch every once in a blue moon?
And by "keeping in touch" I mean - you are the one that somehow contacts them first - always. Then they say their little thing of catching up and then they disappear again for a while?
Well I have this friend. "Friend" or F- Friend (not that F friend you gutter minded fellows!) - Fairweather friend.
I send forwards of emails to a bunch of ppl - then he says hello whats up, then I answer and then it takes another how many years for the next email back.
This happens everytime and it bothers me. Why? Cause I still get alittle surprised when he emails back. (It was only a foward I sent - sheesh) And then I answer back along with some of my own questions. I get alittle excited to catch up again. And then I - like the loser I am, check my email every now and then - to see if he responded.
Its like watching paint dry.
Frig!
Whatever - beefy boy!

i think u just narrated the story of my life - and how ppl frustrate the heck outta me w/ their inconsistent behavior. just the other day i called my friend "consistently inconsistent." i think this applies to your F-friend too! ppl are just lame.
Gee, it's kinda like bloggers who draw you in with their catchy title and witty observations and then stop posting for several months...
The only thing worse is giving your e-mail to a date only to have her/him do nothing more than forward every piece of cutesy junk e-mail that they get to your inbox. Nevermind any real converstions.
I'm not bitter...
Anny: yes its quite the annoyance - these F-friends! But depending on the friendship - I just gotta roll with the punches I guess - of course we are the only ones to notice things like this - some people find friendships more important than others - probably not intentsional but just alittle insensitive none the less.
M+: if you are referring to my absence its cause Im going through writers block and some confusion with my feelings to certain male people in my life at the moment - but I still comment on ppls blogs and read them. And its great to see you back here!
I guess I shouldnt substitute real conversation with a forward. I dont forward too many things and it is true that I do forward things to ppl I would like to keep in touch with and to ppl I think would benifit from the forward.
-On another note, I finally did go out for coffee with Beef Boy tonight. It was nice to catch up. I guess you can call him one of the guys that I turned down BUT most especially, he was the one who didnt notice me when I was interested in him a few years earlier. That being said - even if he is an F-friend, its still always good catching up with him - even if its just to get his big bear hugs every now and then.
I'm busted!
I'm glad you're posting again. I'm glad to be back reading again. It's been a high point for me in my attempts at dating to be able to co-miserate with you over the whole issue. Your witticisms and insight have been quite useful.
As for the e-mail thing. There was this one lady I met. After our first date I got one note explaining that she might want to date some guy steady and it wasn't me, asked if I minded her taking some time to weigh it all out. I was cool with it, and then she stopped all real conversations with me and replaced it with forwarded junk. I hate that crap. If you're gonna blow me off just come out and say "Hey, I'm not that into you." but don't keep filling my inbox with your spam.
