I
waited until I was safely over The Roofer and then reached out and
asked him what had happened. I’ve felt so ashamed since we ‘hung out’
and he dropped off the radar, that I wanted to know what happened so I
wouldn’t get in that situation again.
He
said he has been seeing someone for a few weeks. That he didn’t want
any bad feelings becuase he thinks I’m great and would totally want to
be friends because I’m “so fun to hang out with”. I replied and said
that things worked out the right way (I mean seriously, you are seeing
someone and would want to hang out with a new girl as ‘just friends’ -
show some decency!)
Obviously
the news that he’s hanging with someone else really stung. How could he
pick her and not me? But then I realized that I would have met The Good
Doctor, and I would have picked him over The Roofer. Because although I
thought The Roofer may be Mr. Right Now, I knew he was a far stretch
from Mr. Right (also he didn’t know the correct use of your vs you’re).
Looking back I’m 99% sure he was dating the girl before he met me
because a couple of timing things back then didn’t make sense but now
they do.
Overall
I’m glad I followed up, even though the sting of rejection immediately
followed I was able to finally see that it really was ‘him not me’ - and
I lucked out meeting someone who is showing me daily what it means to
be cared for.
