Blast from the past! OMG

So, back in high school I dated on and off my best friend's cousin. Now, with us still staying close I've been able to keep up with how he's doing, and I see him at bday parties and such. Well. G (as we will call him) is a total screw up, got messed up with drugs, can't keep a job, had a mad love marriage where they fought all the time ect. ect. and is now divorced.


Flash forward.. I got an email from him on POF the other day and we've exchanged a few on and off catching up. So just now I get the email "Call me tonight 555-5555 before my phone gets turned off" Wow, umm. First of all I don't really want to catch up all that much with all the bad things I've heard about him.. I heard he's just a mean jerk on top of it all. And now the whole "before my phone gets turned off" ?? lol. I think I love myself a little to much to go there. Maybe I'll call him to be nice (since I see him at group functions) and just let him know I'm seeing someone?


I have to kind of laugh at it all. I have pictures of me and this guy spending 2 xmas' together.. lord my mother LOVED him! haha.

Run dont' walk to the nearest exit right? LOL


Instead of calling him I called my girlfriend (his cousin) and I told her the whole story, leaving out who it was. She was like omg who was it? Who? Who? Tell me dammit! lol. She burst out laughing when I told her it was her cousin.


Then I got the lecture from her that his past is his past, and he's a good father and works hard and yada yada, and she's forgiven him but he's an adult now and we all need to move past the stupid things he did when he was a child. She also said he really needs a friend right now too. Sooo... I still may call, but make it very clear that I'm seeing someone.


Still can't get past that smoooooth line "call me tonight before my phone gets turned off" LOL

No need to play Ms. Nice Girl, you're not interested, why bother? Sure, you can be nice when you see him, but to go out of your way when his phone will die anyway? Um... no?

Ok, Medic and HC are too busy... time to pull up your socks and dust off the... the what? What goes there??? LOL! Point is: you need to date some new blood, new blood that isn't too busy to spend time with an awesome girl like you!

The boy

Obviously he hasn't changed and is still irresponsible if there's an issue about his phone getting turned off.

OMG it sounds like my exH....lol. Great guy friend wise, humerous, fun but can't pay a bill to save his life. I wouldn't call him...you might give him the worng idea. I'd just email him back and mention your seeing someone and wish him well!
