Bye Boy

Would you help a person you did not know well but he was down on his luck but you did not know him well?  Well I have a story about it , like to hear it, here it goes

So I met this guy about a month ago actually almost two.  He was dark not too tall but taller than me. Not too fly but his appeal was the fact that he seemed to understand me for who I was and he was and there did not seem to be hiding anything. He was smart, funny, had a job, no kids and his own apartment and was nice to me.  Unfortunately, being nice to me seems to require a lot for the way men are built these days.   But I digress , For once I considered someone I was seeing a man.  

   We talked for like 2 weeks over the phone before we finally met.  Initially I thought “Here we go”.  At this point between my job, my internship and school I really did not have time for shenanigans and the on-goings that I entertained during the summer.  I refused to call him, text him or communicate in any way unless it was initiated by him.  I just wasn’t into it like that in the beginning.  I had so much going on, I just couldn’t.  Also, I needed to see his interest level and whether or not it was worth it. So, he called  he texted, and said the right things. He was funny, he was corny, he was intelligent and I loved every minute of it.  He even would stay up to talk to me while I walked home from the train station.

We went on a few dates and hung out.  Each time was a lot of fun.  He was a very good kisser.  There was even one time I cooked dinner. Yes –I do cook and yes I cooked for a man.  I hadn’t cooked dinner in about 4 years for a man. For once, I felt like I was on a level playing field with someone.   After 4 weeks I really saw some potential and I began to call and text. Things were going well -until.  There’s always an until

I noticed him asking me about my job and we would joke about the benefits that my job afforded me.   He then told me he was updating his resume because he was looking for a new job. I thought it was great as he was being proactive about being unhappy at work. Maybe a week later, he told me that he was getting laid off. I was worried about it but I figured that it was like my job it wasn’t a big deal.  He could find another position within his job or something. I noticed him getting distant however not rude. He then told me that he would have move out of his apartment.   He then text me saying we needed to take a step back as he did not have time.  

Now as I said before, I was working on my mouth, so for once I did not lose my cool. Honestly, I was sleeping I guess because I’m always exhausted sleeping was more important. I told him that this was not the venue to express said feelings and I was taking a nap and I was going back to do this. We did talk eventually and he said he did not have any time for being in a relationship as he did not know where he was going to live and was about to be out of a job. I understood however, he seemed to want to cut all ties when he asked, what if he asked to stay with me for a month? I said I would have to think about it. I asked him if he wanted me to wait. He said he could not ask that. I haven’t heard from him again.

To me, something is rotten in the state of Denmark. There is so much he is not telling and so much I did not need to know. I wonder if I did the right thing.  All I know is, Bye boy.
