I was thinking, "I bet he's got some big suprise planned or something, that's way too jerky not to give her anything at all"! lol--I didn't want to say that though and get your hopes up in case there wasn't anything! lol--I'm glad he came through πŸ™‚

never mind, he's so mean, it was all a "joke" for his friends' benefit i guess (so his friend could laugh hysterically while I was on the phone with my boyfriend as he's telling me he didn't get me anything). He ended up giving me five roses, a teddy bear and some M&Ms later. I didn't really think the joke was that funny...

I don't understand 'jokes' that play with a person's emotions...sounds like an occasional streak of immaturity. He could grow out of it...
Overall, he sounds like he has your best interests at heart...Yes??

In response to Twinkee...I don't know what I would do. I guess I would tell him that he had better straighten out or that 'Steak and BJ Day' in March is off!
(Have you seen that e-mail joke?)

Star, it's most definitely immaturity...and not occasional in the least. πŸ˜› (I have this talent, you see, of ending up with guys who are completely incompatible with me, while pining for guys who would be my prince charming, yet staying in the destructive relationship out of some strange fear I have yet to rationalize that has something to do with being so afraid to screw things up with a good guy, that I stop myself from allowing a good relationship to take place. Something like that. lol. I'm just now starting to see myself from outside myself, if that makes sense. It's a bit scary...)

I sent you an e-mail Phoenix...btw...

I agree with Libragirl. That is an amazing realisation and definitely a step in the direction of change in this area of your life! Change is scary...but, you can do it, Chica!

You know I think you are awesome and want only the best for you!

I am not saying you should leave him...do what is right for you at the time that it is right for you...(I know that sounds so vague, but, I hope you know what I mean...sometimes a person leaves someone before they are ready and it actually causes panic...) Anyway, just keep tuned in to your awesome intuition and continue with your introspection and analytical insight....(I am so proud of you!)

I think that I should hop over and pick up Luz, then head north to get you and we all 3 get on a plane and go see Libragirl...it could be a slumber party! (I know you didn't like invite us Libragirl...sorry about the self-invitation! LOL!) But, God, we would have fun! I just know it! Besides, I am dying to go to Australia!
