Oh James, I knew you would have some wisdom to offer on this topic. And when it comes down to it, there's no way for me to acquire the power in my personal situation (and no, this has nothing to do with butt sex). But I was hoping maybe there was a miracle solution that involved me actually doing something, anything...rather than playing the email exchange game.
It is a game I tend to lose because I am OCDish and thus promptly reply to all emails, and then am tempted to irritate the person with a follow up email if I haven't heard from them in a week. I'm about ready to disconnect my keyboard because logically I realize that this is the exact opposite of what I should be doing. So far I've been doing a whole lot better.
I guess what irritates me most about the situation is that I'm not trying to have a relationship with this guy...I mean I'm moving in just a couple months, and that's never what him and I were all about really anyway. So now I have to be careful not to say or do anything that will cause him to think I'm pushing for commitment, but balance this with the fact that I want the only thing we have together- ie really good sex. Mostly I like being a girl but I suspect this would be an easier situation if I were a guy. Or maybe not but whatever.
What it boils down to is that both of us can- and do- hook up with other people, but the quality of hookup with him is exponentially better than with anyone else thus far. So I almost don't like wasting my time with other guys because 1, I'm not a big fan of sleeping around, and 2, it wouldn't be as great anyway. This is all I'm sure too much personal information but I'm suffering from a delusion that someone will respond and say hey, guess what, just call him and say this, and then you will get laid tonight and all will be well.
And besides, after you've posted some of the shit I've said, admitted that you have a booty call really isn't all that shocking. And if nothing else James will now tell me I'm stupid and I will have further confirmation that I cannot actually win this game. Tragic.
