Mr. No Show helps me over Dick

NOVEMBER 2007-MARCH 2008

Mr. No Show and I continue to talk. At this point I have told Professor Stalker, BHA and a few others I was talking with to take a hike. Besides the tiny fact we've never met, he really is perfect. Well, ok, perfect fake boyfriend. I realize that a fake boyfriend is not everything a woman needs. Of course, him coupled with my battery operated boyfriend Bob wasn't too bad a combo. Unfortunately, Bob just doesn't cuddle as well as a real live boy would. So our game continues and we continue to flirt with the idea of meeting but it never works out. I'm growing frustrated and not understanding his delay of game. I didn't hear from him for 4 days over Thanksgiving. I returned assuming he too was busy with family and we would pick up where we left off. But his phone was off and he wasn't returning my emails. So I started searching again thinking it was over. This would be many in a series of twists and turns on the roller coaster of Mr. No Show. I'm not generally an adreline junkie but this is a roller coaster I just can't climb off of yet. Then Dick finds me online. He was hot but I wasn't overly impressed with our first conversation. I give him another try truly out of boredom and the second one is actually great. He asks me if I want to meet. You know, like normal people do when they hit it off. I send Mr. No Show a text and an email and I hear nothing back. It's Friday night and I agree to meet Dick that night.

Dick walks into the bar and I'm sitting next to my yommey Stacy. He is a beautiful speciman. This I will never deny. But I'm just not sure I want to talk to anyone else. I check my phone incase I missed any correspondence from Mr. No Show. There is nothing. Dick wanders around the bar because I appear to be preoccupied. Finally Stacy tells me if I don't go get that soon, somebody else will and I'll be sorry. I know she's right. He comes back over and we laugh and talk the rest of the evening. I invite him over after the bar. He doesn't leave until Sunday. We spend every day together from that night until the New Year. During this time contact from Mr. No Show is sparce and I make it very clear to him that he had his chance and I'm seeing someone and I'm happy. He respects my wishes and gives me my space but refused to disappear completely. It seemed every time Dick and I would have the smallest falling out or disagreement, Mr. No Show would pop up and offer me his heart. Things started falling to pieces with Dick and although I never told Mr. No Show, he seemed to know somehow. I actually once wondered if they knew each other or some messed up crap. Once Dick and I really went down the drain (see the year in review) Mr. No Show was there to sweep up all the pieces of my heart. He told me I shouldn't be surprised it didn't work out. I was offended and asked why. He said "because you know you are meant to be with me. These guys are just killing time for you until we're ready". Well that's all fine and dandy dude, but exactly when are WE going to be ready? I am ready. It's you that's slacking.
