Convenience Dating Part II
Continued from yesterday…
Fast forward to IrritatedAndSpentGirl stopping by (of course she does, after that buildup, who wouldn’t?)… ACGWPG and she have a heated discussion about “playing gamesâ€? and he makes a point to address the importance of keeping the “lines of communication open.â€?
He confesses that contrary to popular belief, he in fact is not perfect (ha!) and she stresses that perfection is not what she expects, but for someone to be as good as their word. (This conversation was prompted by the notorious game of “phone tag� and individuals saying they’ll call and not following through… etc.) Discussion ends about as well as it could, with the two making out…er up… making up. (Freudian slip.)
Fast forward about an hour or two later and his ride decides to leave and despite her offers to drive him home later (or in the morning), he insists he must leave then, but kisses her goodbye and promises to call the next day.
He does call and sounds disappointed when she has other plans set (she’s a busy woman). So why on earth would he reject her and seemingly only be interested in seeing her when it’s in a mutual meetup situation after they’ve already been on several dates just the two of them? Where’s this “communication� he was preaching about earlier? What’s the name of this game? Convenience.
If a relationship becomes inconvenient, it doesn’t work… and unfortunately if it doesn’t work for one of the parties involved, it will not work for either of them, ever. Hopefully as a result, IrritatedAndSpentGirl has been inconvenienced enough by feeling like an inconvenience to finally let it (him) go.
