No, I am not quoting a tiger.
I’m always trying to make plans with this one guy who’s my friend but it never works out. It has 3 times, which is cool, but since then I’ve been trying to make plans with him again because we both had a lot of fun. Tonight I was hoping to see him, but that is not to be. : ( I DO see him nearly every day because we work together but that doesn’t count because we’re working. I know eventually our schedules will be the same and it will work out, but until then I’m kind of like GRR about it.
Sigh… if you substitute “guy” for “girl” I could have written the same, except I don´t see her everyday and I´ve been on this silly game for almost 2 years. :eek:
Shit, at least you two are working it out. What is the deal with giving a guy your number and not answering or calling back? WTF! Grrrr, indeed.
I was gonna say the same damn thing, pretty much. It’s nice that I’m seeing her a lot more now than I used to (I’ve seen her more this year than '02 and '03 put together), but its just not enough, dammit.
I suffer similar problems with all sorts of friends, but to be fair, I’m as much to blame as anyone else.
I find since the arrival of the little fella, my time is no longer my own (excuses, excuses). I try to get home as quickly as possible after work so I can play with him before bed time, I try not to go out over the weekends, so I’m there to be with kiddo and to do housework, or I take him out when I go out. So, I’m trying to be the best dad I can be, and STILL have time to see friends. sigh.
HOWEVER, there are a few ‘friends’ who irritate the crap out of me, and I hate myself for admitting this cos it’s hurtful and mean and I don’t want to be that sort of guy. But sometimes, just sometimes, I find I don’t want to hang out with the guy who calls me every-single-friggin-day, just to make sure I’m still around! :rolleyes:
I’m glad I’m not alone in this endless struggle of meeting up with someone, though I wish things just worked out better in general for everyone! I saw my friend today (at work) and after hearing some of the stuff he goes through which causes him to be busy, I ended up feeling a bit selfish and guilty for trying to make plans with him so often! So because I am a person who endlessly tries to cheer my friends up, I am going to go to some ridiculous lengths to make this guy smile. It’ll work, I’ve done this before for him. And hopefully, when his life is a bit more in order, we can hang out. And hopefully the rest of you can manage to meet up with the friends you’re trying to plan with!
