you long for someone's company, their attention and desire. Why is it, when you have let go, they start contacting?
it was just after midnight when MrBV texts me asking where I was. I'd made a decision to go home. After 5 hours of drinking, on a Thurs night, it was time to leave. 'Should have said goodbye' I texted back.
'Yes you should have'
At this point. After having a 3 year crush on him. After enduring all the silly fantasies I'd harboured, I just couldnt' believe he was worried about where I was.
This was my reponse 'Tough Titties'
'That was harsh' he replied
Time to spell it out ..'I am a contradiciion. Just like you. You are interesting. But you are after one thing & I'm after another. So I left'
'Ok can't argue' he replied. Then another 'you're a good girl
'You are always my friend. That never seems to go away.'
'that's good'. he finished with.
I felt I'd been honest & decided to send him some 80's band info the next day. It was about the friendship now.
Lying in bed, by now, the phone buzzed again. It was 12:40am. Bloody hell, it was TASF! he loves long texts. trying to focus in the dark I had a suspicion of the contents. Yep, he was asking for it, a late night visit, all on his terms. 'but just understand it's not a permanent thing'
So not interested. I was sick of his rude demands. "darls, I have my period"
'don't be silly, sheets can be washed"
"If I'm so desirable, then wait. good night"
He's an ex-lawyer so he loves long text messages. There is not enough space, nor do I have the inclination to post all the crap he said. I was just amazed at the messages. Where were these boys? sitting in bars sending messages, it was almost 1am. Just sad really.
Early the next morning TASF texted again. 'cat, you get the common sense award, good to see you....sorry about high testostorone conduct, you can probably tell I'm still a bit out there... "
I am over both of them. Their behaviour, their texting, it's all too immature and so unfulfilling.
Still can have fun, as friends. They are both coming to my birthday party on June 16th. MrBV emailed the next day. 'count me in for your party'
life; always interesting

Dear Ms Cat,
this is so weird! But you handled it purrfectly.
Congratulations and I hope you'll have a fantastic birthday...
Silly V, not always silly
Nice work!
The whole 'texting' relationships are so done. There is nothing personal about texting someone at midnight or later or even daily. Pick up the phone dammit!
You handled things very well :)
I agree with the others - the texting phenomenon is damn annoying. the 80s music thing makes me reflect on a similar incident with a 'friend' or something undefineable. whatever. well handled Cat and I look forwards to reading about birthday adventures.
