Without me giving the full blown back story, here's a small cliff notes.
Since July I've been "talking to" a guy who lives 3 hours away. We text daily and have both made the trip to see each other. Just hanging out, I guess they'd technically be dates. Anyways, this past weekend was supposed to be his next visit but Thursday he dropped a bomb on me that he and his ex had gotten back together amd consequently, he wasn't coming. I was furious because he had just invited me to come up for a Halloween party and I had agreed to come.
When he told me I didn't respond. The next day he asked me if I wasn't talking to him anymore and I responded as nicely as I could muster up and basically said "what do you want me to say?" To which he responded that he wanted me to say that we could still be good friends like we've been since meeting in May.
My first reaction is that I've been led on. I was furious Thursday. Mainly because of the timing but also because he had the nerve to invite me out there then tell me. I've only responded the one text as to not say something I'd later regret. After thinking about it over the weekend, I don't want to lose him as a friend. We share the same weird sarcastic humor and I enjoy talking to him but I feel like if I up and text him back, I'm somehow failing myself. Giving in and saying that it's okay to crap on me because I'll forgive you. My friends all seem to think that he wants to keep me around as a just in case things don't work out with his ex, which while possible, I'd really hate to think that that's what's going through his brain.
Ugh. I'm so annoyed by the whole situation.
