Final Say
In the parking lot tonite after seeing "I'm Not There"
Her: "I've really enjoyed getting to know you, but I'm not feeling a spark. I was hoping there would be, because you've said and done all the right things. I wanted to tell you in person..."
Me:
Actually, I said nothing. Just nodded my head and said ok. I'm sure once the shock and surprise wear off I'll know what to say. Right now, I just don't have the words.

oh, baby. i'm sorry.
check your email, honeycakes.
I am too! We still love you, though...and isn't it better to have all of us girls than just limit yourself to one??
OMGS...wow, I'm at a loss for words as I'm sure you were at that exact moment. So sorry, but at least she gave you the courtesy of telling you face-to-face and not through a crappy Dear John letter or worse, by email. It took a lot of guts to do the face-to-face thing.
As my Grandma always tells me, there's other fish in the sea. I just seem to be using the wrong bait.
Hang in there, Love!
Soapy & I love you.
That bites. SO sorry.
Lots of love!
I'm not gonna try the usual cliches. The truth is we say those things when we don't know what else to say and right now I know you are feelinga big mixture of angry, disapointed, shock, and just plain bummed. Bottom line, that sucks!
I am really sorry Richard. I thought maybe this was gonna be a good thing. I admire her honesty and courage to do it face to face and upfront, but the "protective of you" side of me wants to hunt her down.
I'm really sorry.
You know where to find us if you need us.
(((BIG HUG))))
And this, ladies and gentleman, is why you always need to carry a lighter on you. Even if you do not smoke, you never know when you will need that spark. Whether it is to wow that 'road hard and put up wet chick' at the end of the bar at two in the morning on her third pack of smokes as you siddle up to her with some cheessy 70s line of "What is a girl like you doing in a place like this?"; or maybe it can be used to simply strike the hem of a dress of the one that has just struck you down without a warning as she walks away. Having the last word is a powerful thing!
Besides, it is in your American nature - look what we did when we were blindsided on December 7th, 1941... hmmmm... maybe this is not a good example.
Stupid chicks! Sorry dude, you deserve better. And if better fails, I can highly recommend some mail order types from Russia.
