ok let's have a talk here little boys...

alright, i have to say something. something that just reeeeally chaps my hide about guys. and before you go thinking i'm talking about YOU, let me clarify that i am speaking of SEVERAL guys. i'm talkin' TONS. hell, i'd even go as far to say almost ALL MEN. (after all, "they're all the same," right kari?) hahaha [shameless plug of an inside joke. sorry. now back to seriousness...]
so here's the scenerio: i get onto myspace, facebook, or even my cell phone to find a message from some guy in my past. whether we dated, were just friends, or were a complicated mess, i haven't seen or talked to them in ages. rarely did we stop talking because of an abrupt event, but mainly because we moved on with our lives, found someone knew, and fell out of touch. i dont take offense to this; i understand that when guys have a girlfriend, their lives tend to be very wrapped up in that. the guy friends that i have that have continued to be close friends with me, no matter who they were dating are 1) few and far between, and 2) some of my best friends because of it. but whatever, i stop talking to a guy because he has a new new girlfriend...no big deal. i dont need them in my life. i have lots of friends. time to move on.
now here comes the part that really bugs: say this guy from my past writes me a message...trying to catch up, seeing how i'm doing, asking if we can hang out, etc.
are they just writing out of the blue like it seems? is it a harmless and selfless gesture of kindness? did they just wake up one day and finally realize, wow, i need shannon in my life again? OF COURSE NOT. that dead beat loser just broke up with their girlfriend. so predictable. now the reasons for reconnecting may be different; they may have realized after their break up, that 1) they need more friends again because they dropped all their buddies at the drop of a whim, 2) they want to rekindle an old romance because they think that maybe they skipped over the right girl already, 3) they had a jealous girlfriend that didn't want them talking to other girls, or 4) they're just plain bored, lonely, and incapable of being single.
well no thanks buddy. i'm not interested in whatever your story or phony epiphany is. i don't want to be your booty call, and i sure as hell don't want to be your friend...you suck at it!! and don't worry; i'll be kind and civil. i'll give you all the normal small talk responses just to make you feel good about yourself for the moment and your "random" act of friendliness. because i know that in just a few weeks everything will be back to normal. you will move on to the next girlfriend in your quick, usual fashion, and fade out of my life once again.
but please, i beg you, consider next time....not wasting my time.
