CASUAL CONFESSION CHANGES VIBE

......................

So, about a month later, I finally mustered up the courage to spill the beans to AJ. You won't believe it, but he turned me down. Honestly, I kind of had an inkling that would happen from the start. But hey, I wasn't trying to make him fall head over heels for me or anything. I just wanted to keep things chill between us, no awkwardness.

Funny thing is, things did change a tad after that. Not that I'm blaming him for it. We ended up getting a bit closer, oddly enough, but there's this subtle chill in the air now. Texting him isn't the same as before – he takes forever to reply, and his go-to excuse is the classic "I'm super busy." Yeah, right.

I get it, people have stuff going on. Maybe he's actually swamped. Or maybe he's just trying to create some distance without outright saying it. Who knows? All I can say is, my confession did shake things up, even if I didn't intend it to. Life's like that sometimes, you know?

...****************...

As the clock struck 7 pm, I couldn't help but notice that he was busy at the moment. I thought to myself, "Well, it seems he's tied up right now." However, a glimmer of hope emerged as I considered that 9 pm might offer a better chance to catch him when he's more available.

Later, when I saw the unread messages, frustration bubbled up within me. "Seriously? He hasn't even read my messages?" Indignation surged as I muttered under my breath, "How dare he ignore me like this?" A mix of disappointment and irritation stirred inside, leaving me torn between different emotions. I wondered if I would ever manage to capture his attention or if my messages would simply fade into the vast expanse of the digital world, unanswered.

...----------------...

3 days had gone by, and still no word from him. Annoyance was starting to get the best of me; I found myself fantasizing about giving his hair a good tug. With the long weekend ahead, the chances of us meeting were slim. "***What on earth is he up to? Why is he so swamped***?" I grumbled to myself. I had sworn not to reply right away, but all it took was a one-word response from him to trigger an essay from me, detailing every twist and turn of my past three days. Little did I know, that was just the beginning of the rollercoaster ahead.

In the midst of dealing with this incredibly frustrating guy, I'm picking up a few valuable lessons that I'm trying to weave into my own life. But the tricky part is, I've somehow become so attached to the whole situation that I can't seem to forget the main lesson: never let a guy string you along. Yet, here I am, waiting way too long for a simple one-word reply from him. It's honestly pretty embarrassing when I think about it.
