Slummin’ It

So I think I have a boyfriend. At least, that’s what he says. But he hasn’t convinced me to stop dating yet, so I don’t see it the same way.
I messed around and treated a guy to dinner this weekend. I didn’t mean to, but I guess since I picked up the check first, that meant I was paying. I was just ready to go since they took forever to bring the check, so I was tryna hurry up and contribute my part. He didn’t even bother to look at the check, and instead looked at me all gratuitously. Ummm?? Note to self: don’t do that again. Oh, he did try to pitch in on the tip. But uhhh, he took too long to do that; I already had it covered. Let’s just bounce.
I guess I should add that he “treated” me to a movie and drove for the night (which was surely a treat for a notorious driver like myself); hence why I was gonna buy my OWN dinner. But whatever. I hope he enjoyed it, cuz that’ll be the last time that happens.
Then he had the nerve to get cozy in my apt and volunteered (several times) to drop by during the week to bring DVDs for us to watch. Gee, thanks for the offer and all, but ummm, just cuz my place is the bomb, and you recognize this, doesn’t mean I want you there. How bout I invite you first, eh? Tryna be all up in my spot, cuz his place is a matchbox and his TV sucks. I’m cool. Drop off the DVDs, then take your ass HOME.
Besides, the boy friend might be coming over.
I’m stingy. Like, for real. At least, when it comes to spending money/time on anyone but myself. I guess that makes me selfish too.
I’m too independent for my own good. Thats what my “boyfriend” told me (not in so many words, but thats what he meant).
He’s right.
But just because I don’t ask for nothin, doesn’t mean I have it all. It just means I ain’t askin’ for it. Apparently I should be asking for the things I want & need, instead of getting ‘em for myself.
Note taken.
My weekend was everything I wanted it to be.
(except for unexpectedly coming out the pocket for dinner).
Don’t you hate it when people assume things? I so would’ve just been like, “Can you split the check?” with the waitress, especially if the date was wack. Ughhh…I also hate when people assume you are in a relationship. That’s stupid wack. Just because I watched the Roll Bounce with you on TNT doesn’t mean that I wanna be your man. That just means there wasn’t anything else to do…which should be obvious if we watched Roll Bounce.
lol. he was dead wrong for that meal business. thanks for the note. (notes to self that she will not be the first to pick up a check…ever!)
chris is hilarious. lol.
uh oh with the boyfriend! you just saying you don’t know and you haven’t stopped dating others…but how do you really feel about this?
lol you should have said “your half is…” lol that would have been funny.
LOL… I always take a look at the bill then put it right back down! LOLLLLLLLL
“My weekend was everything I wanted it to be.”
That’s a fabulous statement!

You must have been a fly on the wall this weekend. Arrived at the exact same conclusion over several libations this weekend.
Keep the notion of getting/doing things for yourself. I often ask for what I want, but if the person takes too long for my taste, I will go on and do it myself.
Girl I cant believe you reached for that check. Rule #1 Unless he is that bf, never reach for the check, or even inquire about it!
Tell people what you need…or want. It’s up to them to get it. I never ask…and for some reason…I come up on some shit.
Reacing for the check…well…iffin he was like the Shark…he’dda smacked my hand away and wasked what the hell was I doing. He really likes paying for shit for some reason…so I obloige him.
