Last night I dreamed I had met this amazing girl and asked her out and she said yes. Then I forgot about her somehow.
Some time later it suddenly came back to me, but I had a hard time remembering... it all seemed faint, like I might have dreamed it.
So in the dream I went to my gmail account and searched the archive for her name and a phrase I remembered writing to her, and it came up, and I was all "Woo-hoo!" because I had her contact info, and I didn't just dream it.
I said to myself, "Okay, we verified this, so when you wake up, go search for her name in your archive for real and get in touch with her."
Then I woke up and realized I really did dream the whole thing.

Pinch Me, I'm Awake

That may be the saddest thing I've ever heard. But at least it was a dream. Imagine if you're a girl and you meet an AMAZING guy and he gets your contact info and then just doesn't call. Not cuz he lost your number. He just changed his mind. And then you realize that it's not a dream. It actually happened.
My first thought is, "How amazing is this guy after all, if he won't follow up on what must be a relatively pleasant commitment?"
But having been a guy for pretty much my whole life, and having done this selfsame miserable thing, I'm sadly aware of how it goes.
Nobody gets up in the morning and says, "I think I'll be an asshole today!" But even though nobody's trying, we do it anyway.
It's not excuseable. But maybe eventually, it's forgiveable. I've learned better since. Maybe he will too. Maybe he already has.
I guess I'd rather think of people as staggering toward redemption than jerks on parade.
1. Oddly enough, there are amazing guys that just aren't all that into me. Shocking, I know.
2. It also sucks when he does call. For a while at least. And then he drops off the face of the earth.
3. But I suppose it also sucks when a girl simply stops answering the phone. Good thing I've never done that. Ever. I swear.
4. Yes, it's forgiveable. Because eventually, you just get over it. People aren't always who you hope they will be. After all, we're just people.
