Sometimes - too often actually - I don't trust my own judgement. I can't get the boy with the soft hair out of my head (although I've tried, and wanted to), and I don't know why. Is it because I honestly want to see and get to know him, or just that I feel guilty about not having called him yet? After all, he was nice enough to accept me not giving him my number.
So what was I supposed to do?
I've already decided it's not a good time to meet someone, but on the other hand I'm a bit curious, and you can't let people wait forever. They will eventually grow tired of you and stop caring. So, I did the next best thing to calling, I sent him a text message. Being the ludicrously nervous and impatient person that I am I expected him to answer immediately. When he didn't I started counting the minutes that passed, reasoning over what he could be doing instead of reading and/or answering my message. Maybe he gave me the wrong number? Maybe he has a girlfriend?
Maybe he's dead?
One hour and seventeen minutes later I got an answer, so my silly mind starts working again. Does the time it took mean that A) he had better things to do during that time or B) that he wanted to get his revenge on me for having to wait for me to contact him?
Why am I so obsessive about these things? Sometimes I just want to be normal.
Whatever that is.

I don't understand how long it takes guys to reply to texts..
ReplyDeleteIt takes girls about 8 seconds. Boys suck so much sometimes x
It takes my crush an hour to reply, and sometimes he doesn't at all...it makes me sick that i am so needy like that.
ReplyDeletetotally unrelated post but did your mum really?
ReplyDeletethat is normal.. at least.. for me it is.
ReplyDeletewhich could be that maybe you and i both might be out of our minds.
dang.
i question my judgement all the time. i wish i could stop.
ReplyDeleteI agree, these are normal thoughts. If you didn't feel this way you wouldn't have a brain? or a heart...
ReplyDeleteI concur, it's definately normal to feel like this... it adds to the 'fun' you see...
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for the comment on my page! It really is nice to get away from technology. I was without a cell phone those 2 weeks and I never felt so free! I read a bit of your blog and have really enjoyed it so far. Thought provoking.. you say the things we think but never write.
ReplyDeleteNormal is over-rated and vague. If he had leaped to answer you the moment he received the text I would be far more concerned. There is never a right time.. as they say; life happens when it's least convenient.
I can relate to your blog & this post very well! & I seriously love your blog title! The best one I've come across so far!
ReplyDeleteyou sound so much like me.
ReplyDeleteWhy not get lost in fantasies from time to time? There's nothing to be afraid of. :)
ReplyDeletei like honestly and totally think that he has some feelings for you. just b patient, and don't let him fool you.
ReplyDeleteokay, i don't know anything so don't listen me.
witll be all good, it sounds like he does like you
ReplyDeleteand what the heck is normal, just be you- youre fab!
this sounds familiar. trust your judgement. x
ReplyDeleteno that is normal, I promise-and one hour 17 mins is not bad at all xo
ReplyDeleteYou are normal, normal means that anything can happen...
ReplyDeleteOhhh I know this particular predicament.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I've known my guy for ages and he still never seems in any state of urgency to contact me.
Thank you for your lovely comment :)
i think thats true. it is dangerous.
ReplyDeleteyou have to link me to the blog you wrote about it.
i do find it dangerous. because i am almost getting mixed up. and thinking that my boy likes me as much as jamie likes claire (in the book im reading). and then i remember that my boy is kind of an idiot and doesnt have the capacity to love the way jamie does (in the book).
oh dear.
How do you say your name... I think it seems pretty <3
ReplyDeletei get anxious when people take ages to reply to me but i do it to others all the time - hypocritical i know.
ReplyDeleteI think we all behave aprox the same way...at least I felt the same with my X-boyfriend and I have to tell you that I've learned something useful:
ReplyDeleteYou don't need to think so much about others feeling, because they frequently aren't how you imagine they are...so the only thing you should care is DON'T HURT THEM...AND BE YOU!
kisses
I am the same exact way... over thinking everything. Guys take so long to answer back, it's frustrating! Just try and get away and relax sometimes.
