The number you have dialed has been disconnected...

LOL. So I've been talking to this guy on and off for about 5 or 6 months now. Nothing serious, just filler until I find Mr. Right. He calls me Saturday night asking if I want to hang out and I say "sure"-- knowing I don't wanna go anywhere. I'm in my pjs, have my hair wrapped up, and watching old episodes of the shows I've missed. But I have a problem saying how I really feel sometimes, so I said I'd be ready soon. Come pick me up.

I don't like when people string me along, so I don't like doing it to other people. I had to keep it real and call back and say "No. I don't feel like going anywhere. And honestly, I don't feel like carrying on this situation anymore." Even though I'm busy and I say it works for me, the pseudo-relationship/dating crap is really unsatisfying. He said that it was cool and he understood.

Now last night, I started feeling bad. I decided to call him back and have a discussion about what exactly we have and where it's going. I call and I get "The number you have dialed has been disconnected...." WHAT?

Now, we hung up on more than cordial terms, so I know he's not blocking me or changing his phone number on me. This fool obviously can't pay his phone bill. I can't believe I was actually gonna discuss a relationship with him. What is with grown men who can't pay their phone bills? I know it's a recession but gosh golly! mid-20s you should have that together.

Reason #623 why I'm single and apparently will remain that way until people get it together!
