Fess up...


What sorts of crazy thoughts have you had when encountering a dating situation?

CL~ I agree with you on that one. I think we have all fallen asleep not meaning too, but it seems men are the ones to use it....constantly. Many of them seem to think we will always buy into it. Wrong.

Y'know, I've had guys use the "I fell asleep" excuse on me, too. Now that I think back to some of those instances, I realize now that I was so gullible once! LOL How lame.

I was seriously an idiot in my early 20's...

I was seriously involved with a guy for four years starting when I was 20 (I broke off the engagement when I was 24, thank god!). It was a long distance relationship for two of the four years, I was in GA, he was in Alabama. At first things were great but there was one time after we'd been dating for a little over a year that he sort of dissapeared one weekend which was highly suspicious, even his mom called me and had no idea where he was and he wasn't answering his cell phone. He had an apartment near his parents and lived with a roommate, I'd met all of his friends at this point and they all knew me..

Anyways, this weekend where he was MIA, I get a call from him on Sunday saying he'd been camping with a guy that lived in his complex (he named him "Mike" and I'd never heard of him nor had his mom when I called her to tell her I'd heard from him). Anyways, he said he'd been camping in northern Alabama and wanted to swing by Atlanta to hang out for a little while. I thought it was strange that he would drive from Alabama to Georgia and back but nonetheless we spent the day together and things seemed okay. I did notice that he had no camping gear in his car and he was clean shaven (he said "Mike" had taken the camping stuff back with him).

I should probably mention at this point there was a girl that he'd been chatting with who lived in Greensboro, NC. She didn't like me at all and she had mentioned him coming to see her before, he said she was lying and he gave me the impression he thought she was crazy and that I had nothing to worry about.. (yes, I was that foolish)

Fast forward to about two months later, I go visit him in Alabama and I'm at his apartment while he's at work. I was at his computer and noticed a credit card statement, not being too nosy (but curious since it was in plain view) I picked it up and glanced at it. Yep, you guess it, there was a charge for gas in Greensboro, NC the weekend he was supposedly camping in Alabama with "Mike". Of course I was furious and confronted him about it when he got home, his excuse...

That his roommate used his credit card to attend a family reunion in Greensboro, NC. I doubted him (and should have trusted my gut) but like an idiot I actually believed his half-cocked story and forgave him.

Thankfully I left this man and never looked back although it did take me two years after this incident to do so and it should have been a huge warning to get out a lot sooner.

Sigh...

Oh, one thing I forgot to mention in my post is that Atlanta IS directly on the way back from North Carolina to where he was going.

Duh!
