Throwback Thursday: When It’s Least Expected

Funfetti and I were having an interesting conversation this morning about guys from our past (who coincidentally, happen to have the same name!) and thought her blog, When It’s Least Expected, would be the perfect pick for today’s throwback.  Enjoy!

I’ve written about him before, and I’m sure this won’t be the last time. Unfortunately for us all, some of my best writing is about this individual.

I kind of hate that. So this is why I bring him up, yet again. In November, I received an awesome text from him asking if I thought proposing to his girlfriend on Christmas was cliche (after I picked my jaw up from the ground thinking WHY IS HE ASKING ME OF ALL PEOPLE THIS VERY SACRED QUESTION, I told him I did.) Later, I find out he is looking for a ring and is preparing to propose on Christmas Eve. Excellent, glad my advice meant so much to him.

Thursday Throwback: Non-Boyfriend Games

For this week’s Throwback Thursday, Funfetti chose “Non-Boyfriend Games” by yours truly, Red Velvet. 

It’s the perfect choice because lately I’ve been thinking about the old non-boyfriend.  The past few weeks he’s been showing up on my Twitter feed, thanks to (former) mutual friends (who I am now considering unfollowing).  And it just got me wondering about how he is, if he ever thinks about me.  Plus it’s usually around this time (after 6 months of not talking) that he tends to pop back into my life.  Re-reading this entry reminded me (as if I needed one) why I don’t want that to happen. 

Here’s a preview:

If there’s anything I hate, it’s when people say things they don’t mean. You know that saying - if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all?  It should be applied to this too. If there’s no truth behind your words, then I don’t want to hear it. I mean, what’s the point? You get the other person’s hopes up only to inevitably disappoint and hurt them. 

Do I sound bitter? It’s okay, I admit it: I am feeling a little bitter. Once again, my non-boyfriend (as my friends have affectionately called him for years) has let me down with all his (empty) words and (fake) promises. 

Let’s go back six months.  

Enjoy!
