Giving Up

In January of this year I met a guy that I felt fond of... We dated for a few months and then via text he tells me that he's decided to try and work things out with his wife. As an adult, I can understand the urge and want to do this as they share a child together. The only harm done was that he told me this via text and that my feelings of course were hurt but I understood.

A few months later he contacts me to see how I was doing. Okay fine. But nothing progressed from there. After all, he IS married, right?

In September of this year he left a note on my car that said "Hey. I stopped by and even knocked on your door for a bit. I got a new phone and don't have your number anymore. I Miss You." I was a little thrown off by this so I waited a good month before I called, even against my friends better judgement but I'm sorry curiousity got the best of me. --- Was he still married? Why now?

About a month after that, we started hanging out again but not really romantically. He texts and calls every day. And I don't mean just once a day... He's even kissed me a few times and when I told him that I wanted things to be like they were earlier in the year, he said that he liked the way things were now. Okay, that hurt. Friends, huh? Friends it is. But wait... I don't speak to my friends every day nor do I text to them every day. My friends don't kiss me and they don't insist on paying for everything we do together. Doesn't that sound like "dating" or is that just me? Regardless, he said FRIENDS and friends it will be. I will not be the one that allows him to have his cake and eat it too. That's just not how it works.

We were supposed to go to lunch together today so that I could get some dishes back from him and deliver the cheesecake I made. Can you believe that he stood me up? WOW! Do your friends do things like that to you? I think not.
