For any of you that might have thought I was stupid for hanging on this long, I wish to prove you wrong with this post.
Bob wanted to explain to me in person why he's been so shady the past few days. I met up with him and, long story short, his ex was visiting him because they're still friends and he didn't want to hurt her feelings by texting other girls right in front of her. I have a feeling that he's not quite over it, but he seems like he's trying to be. It might take some time, but he also seems to really like talking to me, and I like talking to him. He also taught me how to longboard. I know I looked like an idiot, but he held my waist and pushed me along while I rode, so it was pretty cute.
So now I, and you, know the truth. That he was thinking about me, but he was looking out for someone he cares about. All in all, I think that's pretty sweet.
This time around I'm going to try to feel less attached with every single conversation we have. I do that a lot. I think that just because you text someone a lot, something is most definitely going to come out of it. That's not how it is in the real world. Maybe in high school. But like I've said (though I've not followed), dating in college is much more casual. You can go out with someone or talk to them and not make a lifetime commitment. I've known that since before I even graduated high school (I read it in Seventeen magazine. And Seventeen never lies). I need to learn to guard my heart.
We all need to learn to guard our hearts.
