Maybe He Lost My Number

You know, the best and only piece of advice I could ever give anyone about anything is to have a sense of humor about things. Sometimes, that's the only thing that will get you through it. For instance, a few months back I fully knew that it would be a bad idea to try and develop a relationship with someone I had been hot and cold for for the past few years. I knew from the beginning that it would never work out. But with a new affection from that said someone, I talked myself into letting down my guard and trying to be more open to possibilities. All along I was feeling pretty giving, like I was doing this person a favor to let the relationship progress, feeling like a regular Mother Theresa. I definitely wanted to be the cool, non-attached, easy going person that made things effortless and let things progress naturally without any pressure. And I'm so busy, it was pretty easy not to think too much about it. I fully planned to just let the relationship happen without any preconceived notions about what the future might hold.

Then I go out of town for a week and realize, we aren't in a relationship at all. I guess it was all in my head. I mean, I was super busy the whole weekend, I didn't need a phone call or for him to even ask me where I was staying or when I was coming back, but a text message would have been nice. So, yeah, I was trying to be easy going and not worry about the whole thing, I don't want to be that girl that over-reacts when someone doesn't call. But 8 days without calling? This really isn't happening afterall.

And this is where the sense of humor part always comes in handy. When you are an idiot, it really helps if you can just laugh at yourself.
