I’m trying to be more practical about things now. Especially as I put too much care and thought into what I was hoping would be the start of some relationship with a guy. His words were sweet which made me feel special, but his actions spoke more, and left me confused. “I miss you, and am excited to see you tomorrow”—forgets to set alarm and comes up with a weak excuse to not meetup? Something isn’t adding up. I decided to step back and see what he would do/say, and haven’t heard from him for a couple of days now. It made me realize that I don’t need to hope for something to come from what looks to be turning out to be nothing.

Now I am looking at things in a more realistic way. I want to have fun; scratch the itch, so to say. And if something ends up developing past that, cool beans. If not, then at least I am not setting myself up to be let down.
