So the whole breaking up thing, apparently I'm not very good at it. Cause look at me once again seeing Texas Ranger way too much, and I just don't have the feelings that he has towards me! But I seriously have no other friends and I was so bored and lonely for the day and a half that we didn't talk! But isn't that just the freaking rudest thing in the world, to date someone just because I have nothing better to do. I am such an awful person. But I really do like him and think that he is a good person. He treats me incredibly well. But I just don't think we are right for each other, at all. Like we are pretty much as opposite as two people can get besides the fact that we are both total nerds. Is it bad for me to keep dating him even though I don't want to end up with him in the long run? I just don't know what to do. I mean if Narnia were knocking down my door asking me out, then I would have no problem cutting my ties with Texas Ranger and skipping off into the testing center sunset. But no one else even talks to me! Oh the dilemmas of a dating girl! In the exponential amount of chick flicks I have seen in my life, never has it been this hard! There is always a clear choice! Someone is always running into them around the corner or coming to their window to sing them a song! This has totally clouded my perception of real life!

Seriously where do you come up with your funny thoughts. You really should write a column in the news paper because A: you could help others that think life is really like a movie (HA) and B: cuz you are ridiculously funny and make me laugh my butt off.
ReplyDeleteIf he isn't right for you (which sorry to say I don't think he is either) you probably shouldn't lead him on. NOT that you are you have been very honest with him and he is a very persistent person which I do give him props for but if it isn't going anywhere maybe its time to stop.
YOU should flirt with Narnia and then maybe say "hey when are you going to ask me out" be brave and blunt guys love it. I asked Josh out on our first date and look how good it turned out for us. Almost 4years of marriage a funny little man and knocked up again.
DO IT!!!!!!!
Its not bad for you to keep dating him but maybe keeping it a little clear where you stand? HA hard when your as bold as me. Just don't end up settling for what you know isn't right because he's there still in a year, ya know? Hang out with him but if testing center sunsets or brock booth or anyone else comes along give them chances to sing you songs at your window and be the clear choice:) I love you. AND YOU ARE HILARIOUS! LOVE THE PICTURE CHOICE:) HAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteYou are too cute and funny and CREATIVE!!
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't like a boy the same way I thought he liked me---I got spooked and stayed far, far away. I found other ways to occupy my time. But that's just me--and I don't mind being alone. When you find interests you like and you participate in them, you're bound to find someone that is similiar yet opposite, different yet complimentary, intellectual yet totally attractive!
Papa John told me once, something to this effect: as long as your 'soul-mate spot' is occupied, the universe will not fill it. Whether the 'soul-mate spot' is filled with someone just because your bored or whether your 'soul-mate spot' is filled with someone specific (imaginary or real) in your heart...ya know. Vice Versa is true. Once you're married, if you release your mate from your 'soul-mate' spot, the universe will try fill it...I think that's why there are so many broken marriages. You HAVE to nurture the relationships that are important and let go of those that are not important. That's tricky sometimes---and it doesn't mean a non-important relationship won't become important at another time. Timing matters.
I loved Emily's advice on being bold and blunt. I asked Mike to dance our first meeting. And, look at our exemplary love bliss! :)
Also, you SHOULD do a column. Maybe we should all make our own magazine!! ESPLIN ENTERTAINMENT! Or, Hotties with Heads on her Shoulders!
Loves! All is well and All will be well!!
Oh Jessirica Janae: A: I am proud of you. You have been very honest with Texas Ranger. He knows you are slipping from his grasp. I think it is okay to talk to him and see him occasionally as long as he knows you are going to date others (you are only 18). B: Keep your options open and be ready to be BOLD and say "well, we should do something sometime." C: You still have Bank boy, Brock and Narnia to stalk. D: Your life has a plan and the plan will work out. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteWOW we are all good at giving advice! LOVE YOU!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I love to soap box! Just so you know, even when you have been completely honest with a guy you can give him hope by a wrong signal. What you've been debating, i've done. I told him, aka 'magazine man' that I wasn't interested in him in a future sense, several times. BUT, we kept hanging out, at least that is what I thought we were doing. Before i knew it he had planned our life together, told his family all about me and proposed. Long story short, I have never ran away so far so fast. Be careful, you are too ideal for any man to see often and not want to keep. Don't assume he can get over you just because your feelings are not strong for him.
ReplyDeleteWE ARE GOOD! Rachel, if you're listening, will you invite me to your blog?
ReplyDeleteWhat a dilemma you have in your young life!!! The Sunday School lesson today was on Moses and the children of Israel--Heavenly Father is there and aware of what's going on--he just doesn't answer right when you want it. Good luck.
