It's been forever since I've posted twice in one day! But I'm feeling the need for the kind of support I get from writing schtuff down.

The commenters from last post were right, and I know it--but it's still so hard to resist getting in touch! So here I am resolving to let Ex (hmmm, he's gonna need a new name...) get in touch first next time around. He did email back, and he expressed interest in hanging out in the future, but no plans were made.

I've got to let him make the next move to make plans.

No texting! No emailing! Peoplies, write me every day--hell, every hour--here if you want to remind me.

In any case, I've got a full weekend coming up, so homey would've had to wait until next week to hang out again anyway.

Dear Cute Jewess,

Maybe you can tape a post-it to your phone that says "Don't Call Him!" If you pursue him to get him to start a relationship with you, then you will find yourself having to pursue him to stay in a relationship with you (which isn't going to be any fun at all). If he is really into you, he will call and if not then it is his loss.

Take care,

Jaclyn

Chill CJ! Just a reminder! :)

What is the deal with "he expressed interest in hanging out?" Let him ask you on a date, for goodness sakes. Just don't do it (contact in any form). Jaclyn is spot on... let him be the pursuer.

Ugh-how frustrating!! What is up with men?

I hope you can hold off on getting in touch.

Good luck!

Hugs!

I don't get it. Why the game playing? Just tell him how you feel, more or less what you blogged (maybe tone it down just a tad). In other words, be yourself. Your latest suggestion to "let's hang out" is just bullshit, right? If it fools him, then you lose. If it doesn't fool him, then he'll think you're repressed or whatever. Either way it doesn't help you, I suggest.

If he resonates with how you actually feel, he'll get back to you, if he doesn't he won't, and either way you'll get a resolution that much faster. Just a thought.

I've been reading for a long time and I haven't read as consistently lately but (and I swear I don't mean to be a bitch when I ask this) but what is it that you are looking for in a man? Do you know what you want? Do you want children/marriage/a booty call? I've heard dating in NYC is difficult but seriously, this difficult?

I hope you're being strong!! Wait for him to ask you out! :)

No worries--I haven't had any uncontrollable urges to get in touch. Lots going on now, so there's much to occupy my mind!

As to this comment quote: "Your latest suggestion to "let's hang out" is just bullshit, right?"

Ummm...huh? No, it means "let's hang out." What's to fool? You're reading more into that than there is.

And this one: "what is it that you are looking for in a man? Do you know what you want? Do you want children/marriage/a booty call? I've heard dating in NYC is difficult but seriously, this difficult?"

Jeez, that's like 12 blog posts right there. So I'll just say I don't think this particular case is specific at all to NYC. As to what I want? For now, I'm just looking for a guy I like.

>Ummm...huh? No, it means "let's hang out." What's to fool? You're reading more into that than there is.

I thought you wanted a date. Still, the deeper question is why the game playing? Is there something wrong with just being oneself? You all are the experts. Tell me.

I don't consider this game playing--just not coming on too strong.

Not everything has to be interpreted to its extreme. Just because I'm working on not being too eager doesn't mean I'm not "being myself."

Games are a whole different thing in my book--this is just normal human nature/interaction.
