Just another so-called Match

So I emailed this guy I talked to from Match...

We met a few weeks ago at a baseball game...he met me after the game and we took a walk...nice enough guy...obviously wasn't enough to even comment on in here...but then again maybe I was to side tracked with Anchorman...and Mr Match had just called it quits at that time and was a little all ove rthe place.

Well, we met and had been talking, we go to the same gym and have run into each other a few times now...we have talked on the phone too...and texted tons while I was in FL. Im not sure what there was between us...more of a friendship that was starting...and he seemed nice enough.

After the whole Anchorman went down...I was kind of annoyed at guys in general...so him and I started talking on IM the nday after Anchorman and I had our "discussion." Obviously I was a little testy at that moment...and maybe PMSing some too. So there I was on IM and I asked him when we would hang out again and he said...well I am busy...but we will. You know after all these guys...that is one pet peave lately...bullshit you are busy...get the balls to say its not working...dont use Im jsut so busy right now...I mean if you like someone you WANT to spend time with that person...right?

So I we kind of got into it a little...as much as you can decipher over IM...t hat night I texted him saying sorry I was down... and just testy and I didn't mean to rush getting together...Me then getting this email "Hey I was hoping to chat with you last night but I didn't get a chance. I'm more than happy to hang out with you at some point but you need to calm down a bit. I'm a busy person and its no disrespect to you. I'm sorry your down and not feeling great. I do hope you feel better!"

And we really haven't talked since... so I was feeling bad at how it went down... and he was a nice person... so why not have him as a friend you know? So my email went like this:

Hi...I miss talking to you... I need to be honest with you... allot of
stuff have been going on with me lately...

I had been seeing a guy since November... and we broke it off a few
months later...then about the time you and I met, him and I came into
contact again...therefore when i got upset at you the other day...it
really had nothing to do with you...and more with him. Him and I ended
it finally...it was not a healthy thing...lets put it that way...and I
am a little bit of a mess emotionally...which makes me say this...lets
be friends...

I miss talking to you...I hope you don't think I am nuts...but I
do...and would like to be friends if nothing more....lets hang out and
do stuff...walking that night was nice..and its crazy not to have
another friend in Newton...so what do you say?

Hope to hear from you...

and he responds back:

"ok lets be friends... honestly, i never really had any emotional
attachment just because I really don't know you other than other
phones chats and the walk from fenway. Kinda tough for me to be overly
interested/ emotional invest time into someone I don't even know. Just
my philosophy in life. If you'd like more Honesty if I was overly
interested I'd be pissed right now. I can't stand people and I tell my
friends this all the time, I can't stand people who date or have
crushes or just screw around with multiple people at the same time.
It's really disrespectful and sadly in this self rigthous world it
seems to be the norm, rather than the exception. I'm sure I'll see you
at the Y sometime soon."

So I emailed back:

Wow...sorry...I never said I had an emotional attachment...but thought
maybe we could be friends...sorry

as for screwing around with multiple people...I'm not sure how I did
that when you and I only talked a few times...but ok

Anyway good luck to you...yea maybe I will see you at the Y sometime/

See this is the shit I am dealing with when I meet people..I don't know why it had to end so nastily... and now what if I do run into him at the Y? I guess I will smile and act like a nice girl... hmm maybe I did learn something from the south after-all...
