for my bday, my ex started to drop hints, alluding to something being delivered to my house. flowers? candy? hmm, i was pretty excited by the seemingly romantic gesture behind it all.
i sign for the package... so flowers are out. shook the box, no noises. so a puppy is out (not that id really want one anyway...) i open it and its a "photography for dummies" book that he got off Amazon.
to him, it made sense - i was taking a photo class at the time. to me it totally put us back in friendzone. nothing about a used book from the internet scream, "hey, i dig you!"
ladies and gents, that was the beginning of the end. i mean chalk it up to lack of communication: should i have expressed that i wanted something more romantic? or was i wrong to assume that a delivery meant flowers or something? most importantly, perhaps he figured that ive always been a practical person so a practical gift made the most sense? hmm dunno.
