So what about the others..
Well .. the call about being in a committed relationship didn’t come til darn near the day after Christmas so I spent much of Christmas day alone with the occasional call and text from Mr. SWV and others in the manicane.
I went through my phone on Christmas morning and instead of sending the stupid group texts which I hate receiving. I sent each man in my phone an individual text. I would copy and paste the “Merry Christmas” and then add their name and then possibly something personal depending on the individual. I had a lot of return texts and people wondering what I was doing for the day. I had previously thought I would be going out of the country but plans changed. I was officially bored. Which leads me to what happened next.
So remember Mr. Whomptastic… the one from the grocery store with the live in girlfriend who he stays with due to the economy and not being able to sell the house they shared together (men come up with the craziest stories..) well he called me.. I ignored it .. and then texted him asking him what was up. He asked me to lunch and I accepted.. I WAS BORED .. We went to lunch and had a good time. I found out he was 47, ex-navy, golfed (just like me), scuba dived and we had a lot of similar interests. He said he, “didn’t know if he could afford me but would try” .. apparently from our conversation he determined I had champagne taste. He will be a good friend but I actually think he wants to fugg me… and now that I have a bf I don’t think I will talk to him again.
Fast forward to Mr. SWV and I making it official. I thought to myself.. no need in calling the whole manicane and saying, “I’m sorry we can’t date..I now have a boyfriend” sounds stupid just writing it. So when TheQue called and told me he was thinking about me and couldn’t wait to get back and see me.. I froze. I listened asked him how his Christmas was and how his family was and then immediately got off the phone. What was I supposed to say?
So.. on Sunday.. Mr. Peso gchats me and asks me what I am up to. I tell him I am laying in the bed watching tv. He asks me if he can come by and lay down with me. I tell him, “I don’t think that would be a good idea.” And then change the subject. He then brings the subject back to coming over to my house a couple more times and eventually I just hit him with the, “I have a boyfriend and I know he wouldn’t be comfortable with that and neither would I” lets just say he was in shock! But the subject was dropped and then he proceeded to try to ask 100 questions about the new man. All of which I did not answer.. its NUNYA sir..
So after talking to him and him saying, “well your fb says your single” I went about changing it from “single” to no relationship status at all. This of course caused a flurry of emails and comments on the status change and a particular comment from Mr. Lightbright who commented,. ” is that right??? …..” I’m sure I will be getting a call soon. This is more complicated than I thought. I can only imagine what will happen as everyone comes back from vacation. Did I mention FB is the devil?
Yep. Can f up your life.

I love the idea of leaving the relationship status blank (exactly how mine is on myspace)
I hate when follks argue with their signifs and go back and forth and it’s just childish… so don’t put anything!

Nick you are right!! I use to get caught in the status on facebook… I think mine is blank now…

And yeah I’ve heard FB is the devil which is why I don’t have a FB page. I barely go on Myspace.

Oh Lawd! The infamous facebook status has been known to cause an uproar all across the world. People’s feelings get hurt over the status, not to mention the curiosities begin to manifest in sometimes a very ugly manner. My status is non existent and will remain that way until I’m married. Other than that…people don’t need to know shit.
I’m so done with the 47 yr old.
But congrats on your Boo. Preliminaries make me think he’s a keeper.

First, congrats on your newly acquired status.
Why didn’t you tell the ‘manicane’ you are taken, and they can stay if they like, otherwise, kick rocks? Why even entertain Whoomptastic for lunch? (shaking head) This is how problems arise. That’s why I gotta watch yall….too slick for your own good…
