chances

Why is it that when boys are given a chance with a girl they tend to screw it up?

Let me explain:

This has happened to me quite a few times.

I'm seeing this guy. I like him. He shows interest in me. It doesn't work out for some reason, or he just stops talking to me, and stops showing signs of interest. Okay. I get over it...eventually. Mend my heart, once again. Move on with my somewhat cool life. A few months go by. Dude texts/calls me. Says he screwed up, and he still likes me, or what I really love is when they say they never stopped liking me. Expects things to go back to how they were. As if nothing happened. Expects me to drop everything I have going on in my life to be with him.

Ugh. You're stupid...so here's the stitch.

Two years ago, maybe a little less longer than that..I work with this guy, for all intensive purposes, we'll call him Stan. Stan and I start seeing eachother. Kind of a fling, kind of not. I totally had the hots for Stan, he was really laid back and chill. But we didn't really tell too many people of what we had going on. No biggie. So me being the emotional sap that I am, tell Stan that I think we should be more than waffle making buddies. He bails.

A few months go by, and we start hooking up again. Then he gets a girl.

I see him at work. He texts me, basically saying he wanted to get with me again. Goes on bitching about his bitch. Whatever. At that moment in my life, I wasn't seeing anyone, but wasn't too interested in listening to his sap story either. But I flirtexted back anyway. And then Stan started saying that his bitch never listened to him, and he needed someone to talk to. I listened.

Next day, Stan says his girl found our texts and he couldn't talk to me anymore. That I was to delete his number, and he was going to delete mine. I said how awesome it was that he was letting some chick run his life. Have fun with that. Okay. So I would still see Stan at work. Awkward. Oh btw, I didn't delete his number. I don't let people run my life. I run it.

So today I get a random text: Hey stranger, what's up? -Stan.

I reply: Whoa why are you texting me? I never thought I would hear from you again.

From there he goes on confessing his undying love to me. Blah blah. How I was all he could think of while he was with this chick, and it whatever whatever insert crap here.

Um. Okay. What do you want me to do. Insert you back into my somewhat cool life now? Um. You're cute Stan. But you played me like a fiddle once. And ripped my heart out and put it in a blender. Once is probably enough. Why didn't you dump her a year ago for me then Stan. Huh? If I was all you could think of, wouldn't that have been a good time? Cause it was fun, right? Playing house and living the american dream that society makes up for us. No thanks.

Moral: IF YOU GIVE A DUDE A CHANCE, AND HE MESSES IT UP ROYALLY, DO NOT GIVE HIM ANOTHER. UNLESS YOU ENJOY HAVING UR HEART PUT IN THE BLENDER. If you keep giving him chances, he's just going to keep taking and taking, until you have nothing left that he can take. There are so many other dudes in the world. And just cause one shows you some slight interest does NOT mean you need to take him up on his offer.

For all those Stans in the world, get a fucking life, or ruin someone else's, and stay out of mine. K thanks.

Flirtexting

Dos and Donts of Flirtexting As you can probably already assume, Flirtexting is when you flirt through texts. There is also Sexting, which is dirty texts. But that's a whole different blog that I think I'll leave up to Kendall to write. She has more experience with that =] I've came up with a list of things that you should and shouldn't do when you first get a dude's number or first give him yours. Dos * Do text him within a reasonable amount of time after you recieve his 7. Send him a friendly hello within the first couple days of getting his digits. Introduce yourself and keep it classy. * Do get to know him. Ask him about himself. And tell him about yourself. * Do send smile faces and winks when it's appropriate. --> =] my personal fav * Do compliment him without coming off as a whore. Simple things like: you looked way cute today.... ;) * Do ask him out over a text. That way you can avoid all the awkwardness that you can sometimes come across during a face to face conversation. (some dudes would prefer to be asked out in person though, so idk, use your best judgement) * Do text him after a date, and tell him thank you. Even if you plan on never going out with him again. A simple thank you is okay. If you plan on seeing him again...."thanks for the great time tonight..cant wait 2 see you again =] " * Do text him daily. Even if it's a simple Good Morning ;) or Hey, how are you? If he doesn't wanna text back, then he won't. * Do have fun when texting him. * Do send him classy pics if he asks for one. With your face in the pic and a nice smile. Sexting would include a boob shot. Not flirtexting. Keep it clean. Don't come off easy. :) * Do tell him you miss him making you smile. :) Dont's * Don't talk about sex within the first week of meeting this dude. You will come off as a hooker whose just looking to score. If that's the case then you should be sexting, not flirtexting. * Don't confess your undying love towards them...right away. =] You'll most likely come off as desperate, and I hear that's a major turn off. * Don't text one word texts. This is annoying and unnecessary. You might as well not even text them then, or waste your time. * Don't use lol after EVERY single sentence. It's okay to lol often, but not too often. or even l(ing)mao is okay too. * Don't talk about serious serious issues while flirtexting. Nothing too personal either. Im sure dude doesn't care about your last period, or the fact that you're having mixed feelings about your sexuality. * Don't go long periods without texting..or even calling...him. It's okay to play 'hard to get', but don't play 'so hard you'll never get me'. * Don't bitch and bitch about something to him. Chances are he could care less anyway. And you're going to send him running. * Don't go overboard and hound him with texts. * Don't send forwards. Period. They're lame and useless. And come off as being childish or having no life. * Don't resend the text more than twice if he's not responding. If he's not getting after sending it twice, then he's simply 'not getting it.' Use these as guidelines. Of course each guy is going to be different, but it's up to you to use your best judgement sweety. Oh, and I would like to point out that I spoke with a dude to collaborate this list. So it's pretty legit =] He also said it was okay to use cutesy nicknames with him. But idk. I think that was just that guy in general. lola (laught out loud alot), =] L

Do I Have To Spell It Out?!

Mrs. Icka was sitting around one night talking to all her MSN Buddies, and she has a friend that lives in Illinois and he is single and lonely. And she has me, a friend that lives in Wisconsin who is single and bored. And she thought...and then a light buld came on and she said "Kendall should hook up with Matt!" well then she gave me his phone number, and msn add and told me to have fun. Well....He doesn't TALK. And I like to firty talk and such, and last night I sent him a text saying..."Straight Up, I like to dirty text and send naughty pics. You dig?" well....no reply. So I have come to the assumption that he doesn't dig it. And I was like "damn, cuz if he likes Mrs. Icka he would def. like me!" Hello! I Spell it out and every other dude would be like..."HELLZ YEAH!" but not this one. WEIRD! So, I have come to the conclusion that if you have to spell it out, he obvoisly isn't worth the waste of time it took to try and get to your point. xo k

Boobs

For some reason I have been blessed with an amazing pair of boobs. I never showed them to anyone until I was about 21. He was some guy that was my friend on facebook and had msn. and I had a webcam! yay! well i don't know what got into me, so i just pulled my shirt down and showed him. it was empowering. i had never done anything like that. the next day the girls i work with looked at me and asked if i was on drugs! well i am not cuz drugs ARE NOT COOL. then when i was at Mrs. Icka's bachelorette party we snuck into the infinity pool at the wilderness on the lake (that isn't on a lake for the time being) and i flashed people. i felt naughty. well then it got to the point where i would take pics of my boobs to send them to dudes. it makes me feel sooo naughty. and i can't lie it empowers me to know that i have made there day. something that i see everyday can bring so much joy to someone else! weird. but latley they have gotten me in trouble my dd's have been yelled at by my former principal while i attended an after school function. (sorry I am 21 and feel damn proud of my body!) and in 2 seconds he shattered my self confidence. how is that possible?! something that can be so powerful can make me feel dirty. i layed in bed for a long time mad at myself for being so different. then there was halloween when i got drunk and showed them to this dude that i know. i feel horrible about it. cuz i let him feel me up! what is wrong with me! then he made me feel like a douche for being old fashioned and still being a virgin. whatever. i have now decided that he will never get lucky enough to see them again.
