hollybrookeGreat. I just got an email from Brandon in which he says he's basically had a crush on me forever.
I don't know how to take this. Here's the thing. I have not seen him in ages (maybe two years), and the only time we get to come close to "hanging out" is online (through Yahoo Messenger or MySpace). I've known Brandon for as long as I've known Dan. I know him through Dan. And I also know that Brandon has had his share of women problems for quite a while. I know he went through hell with Monica, but I'd be more inclined to give it a go with him if he had his ducks all in a row. I know, I'm one to talk, I'm practically broke. So is he. Two wrongs don't exactly make a right. And I hate to sound like I'm being materialistic and shallow, but I went through all of that crap with Dan. Dan was pretty selfish and cheap when it came to me. I want to be with a guy who is doing well for himself and who I know will be far from the nest. Yeah, I know, like I said, I'm one to talk. I'm still at home with my own parents, but believe me, if I weren't practically poor right now and didn't have Mom to worry about...Point is, I''m trying to rectify that situation first before getting involved with another guy. I'm ready for a grown-up relationship, thankyouverymuch.
And even if that weren't the case...I'm just not interested in Brandon like that. You can hold so many interests in common, but sometimes you just can't strike a connection. Having a crush on someone based on that sort of thing doesn't mean it's going to work. I've given up on having crushes. Having a crush just builds your hopes up so high for them to come crashing down when they don't follow through. And crushes just leads to stupid obsessions that make you seem so foolish in hindsight.
*sigh* So many guys, so little time. And yet, I'd still just rather be alone right now. I'm waiting for The One to make his presence known, the one who will make me weak in the knees, as if I could feel his mojo from miles away. Every guy I've been with...I've never been able to make it click with. I just haven't.
....But what I was told this weekend by Kevin was pretty interesting...and it just made me think. I sincerely don't want Kevin's girlfriend to see me as a threat.
