Dave, Part Deux

Yes, folks. I have been dumped. Again. In email. Again. I really hate men. I hate them all.

This was yet anouther case of Vanessa finding a guy that seems, for all intensive purposes, just delightful. Wonderful really. This one started out as a far cry from the last one. He called. He texted. He emailed. He actually saw me during the week. He appeared not freaked by and even inviting of letting me crash at his house. Today, he dumps me. Why? Oh, because things are moving too fast.

What is it with men? Why do they all seem to think that women want to settle down tomorrow? Why can they not just let life be ad take things as they are for what they are. Nothing more, nothing less. And what ever happen to common courtesy and talking to some in person when you end a relationship? Why must they all be cowards?

I'm not just mad. I have a damned rage about this. I just talked to my best friend Barbara who met him earlier in the month. She agreed. I was not reading into things that were not there. He cleared made it appear as though he just adored me. I didn't walk down that path on my own. He took my hand and led me right down it. He walked me way out and just turned right on back when I wasn't looking.

I am just done. I am too tired and too old for this shit. Enough already.

Yep. I agree. Men are crap. That's why you should become an angry lesbian.

[Jeff (Guess which one)]

Oh, yea, and I dig To The Lighthouse and anybody who fills their jacket with stones and then walks out into the river.

[A Word To The Wise]

Hmm. 3.5 BILLION men on this planet, and we're ALL the same. And here I was upset thinking if I were one in a million, there would be 300 guys just like me in this country alone!!
Suck it up Kid, you made of stronger stuff!
As always, this is a Word TO the Wise, NOT a word FROM the wise.

Oh yeah, like it or not, I still love you, probably always will....

[Kelly O]

Don't really have any words of wisdom for you honey, but it just goes to show you sometimes men (or boys, however it is they're acting) can be completely stupid. Well, that and this particular "boy" didn't deserve you to begin with.

[delmer]

That whole "It's better to have loved and lost ..." can be a crock of crap sometimes.

[Sherri]

I love ya, Ness and he so doesn't deserve you if he doesn't *get* what you're about. Too bad for him because he's missing out on not only a great girl but amazingly fun times to be had!

[Omyword!]

An email dump is cowardly.

With that said, I think he should have been shuffling, huffing and puffing, behind YOU as you raced down your path, instead of leading you by the hand down his. Men are like cats, if you pretend you aren't interested in them, they come over and rub their faces on your feet.

Or something like that. I'm glad that the next day you are luxuriating in your bed and having a nice day. That's strength for ya.

via email? Jesus Van, that's harsh. I'm sorry.

and I don't understand why some guys seem to equate a nice happy relationship with you wanting to jump into marriage. Why do they have to go all nelly and ruin everything?

well, his loss. At least you know now and not a year from now.

[Nicole]

He is a total ass, email dump?? What a coward!His loss, he sucks and you totally rock. Hell you were way too good for him anyway. Peni are stupid, they think just because you like having them around you want them around all the time, sometimes just having a peni on speed dial is enough for us.

[Melissa]

Dump By Email? What a pansy. You are far and wide too good for him, Van.

[cheryl]

Yes, I was dumped by email too. It hurt tremendously at the time. It's particularly difficult when you can't talk to them about it. He refused to answer my phone calls. He gave no explanation, other than "the timing isn't right." In retrospect, I'm glad that he ended it so soon, because I don't want a man who is a coward.
