Final (?) Update on HB BayArea
So last night was the last straw for me.
She texts me at around 10 or so asking what I'm doing and that she's bored. She wants to meet up, so I'm figuring cool, even though I'm dead tired, I can do a late night hook-up (porn music playing in my head). I go and pick her up and we go and get some drinks. I kino, things seem to be going OK. She tells me that she thinks she bruised her ear. I put my arm around her and kiss her ear. She puts her head on my shoulder. I kiss her head. She seems receptive. I then decide to try to kiss her on the lips. She turns and I end up kissing her cheek. I'm thinking, WTF man?!
I freeze her out. Take my arm off her, grab my drink and chill there not really saying anything. She re-initiates the conversation. Talk for a while, but then the place is closing so we get up and I take her home.
Get to her place and she opens the door first, then gives me a hug, then kisses me on the cheek, and leaves. I'm like WTF?!?!?!
So I'm not happy. I take off. I'm driving home and I think back to what Ulysses and Holiday have told me and I'm like fuck it, it's time. I'm almost back to my apartment and I turn my ass around. I go back to her place. Park and ask her to come down. I walk up to her telling her I was almost back home and I had to come back. Walk straight up to her and give her a kiss on the lips. She smiles.
I then tell her, "I don't think we can be friends anymore. I think we've crossed that line and I want more than that."
"I don't want to have to act timid around you trying to toe the line of friendship and something more."
"I don't like being your late night text and meet up buddy."
She looks kinda shocked and tells me that she'll "mull it over."
I tell her, "alright, I'll talk to you later." Bounce out of there.
I felt good, I felt liberated. I felt like I did what I needed to do.
Then after I got home, I felt sad. I felt remorse. I was like, what the fuck did I just do?
Went to bed and woke up. I felt good again, but now, I feel a little sad and unsure of myself. Fucking AFC stuff.
But I feel it was the right thing to do. I don't want to hang in limbo and be dicked around. I don't have time for that shit. I should have elaborated more to her, such as, I can't be staying up late just to "hang out." It fucks with my work and with my social schedule.
I feel as, Ch0n60 put it, that I was no longer the chooser and I just didn't want to be in that frame. I probably lost my frame somewhere along the lines, but oh well, it's all a learning experience and I'll use this and learn from it.
It was fun while it lasted and it was a good experience, but it's time to make some new ones.
