I was seeing this guy for about three weeks back in October and could tell he liked me as much as I liked him. He was funny, we had good conversations, and there was a lot of flirting. I’d asked him in our first conversation if he had a strong testimony and was temple worthy. He said, “I’m way temple worthy!”
He seemed like a really great guy and we’d been out on a handful or great dates. I didn’t see any reason to keep dating other guys when I could see him more often, so I suggested to him we only see each other for a while, just to try it out. He said he’d love to do that and was excited to find out I wanted to as well. We talked about it for a few more minutes and were both excited the other felt the same.
Then an hour went by and I got a txt from him. It was shocking. He completely took back everything he said. He told me he just got out of a serious relationship two months ago and his sister said he should date a lot more girls before committing to just one person.
A week went by and we didn’t talk at all. So I sent him a message saying I’d still like to see him, even if we were seeing other people as well. He agreed and so we started talking again. He asked when he could see me again and I told him Monday would work great. I had a date with two different guys on that night and Saturday, but I didn’t mention that to him.
As we were talking, he mentioned casually that he had a date with another girl tonight. I laughed and said, don’t worry I have a date tonight too. He teased me saying that I’d probably end up making out with the guy. I reminded him that I only kiss when I’m seeing one guy exclusively, so that wouldn’t happen. Then he said, “Maybe someday, I’ll be so lucky.”
I sat there baffled and explained to him again that I already told him I want to see him exclusively. Then he acted all confused and suddenly did a complete 180. He said he wanted to only date me and that he’d love for me to be his girlfriend. I was shocked again! He explained he didn’t know what came over him a week ago. Then he suggested we cancel our dates and just see each other that evening.
I was up for it, and excited to have a boyfriend! So I contacted the two guys I’d set up dates with and went out with my new boyfriend instead. The date was a little boring. We went and saw a bad movie and I felt I was carrying the conversation a lot. By the time we reached my neighborhood on the drive home I was exhausted with keeping up the conversation so I just let the awkward silence take over.
Then, believe it or not, he finally opened his mouth. He told me we aren’t right for each other at all. He said he hasn’t been going to church for a long time and he’s not Temple worthy. He broke up with me, then drove off without walking me to the door.
All I can say is… um no, I have nothing more to say about this. LOL!
