So I was logged on to AOL to check out some stuff & an IM comes through. "Hey" is all it says. I look at the name & it's Mr. Italy....the guy I was "seeing" between Gameboy & Cowboy. There was nothing there between us (if you ask me) but it kept me busy and helped me to move on. He was not right for me then.
So I send it back "hello?" and he says "don't you know who this is?" and I said "i think so, but am not sure". He sends it back "Vin. don't you remember me? I am crying now that you've forgotten about me".
The last time I saw him (or even heard from him) was summer of '02 when I was dating Cowboy. We met up at a Fridays (or something) and talked and drank & he got a bit pushy (as he always did) and I wasn't feeling it because I had feelings for Cowboy.
So, here we are so many years later & he asks if I am with anyone. I sent it back that it just ended. He's not in anything either. And so it begins: "so did you miss me?" That was always his question to me. I didn't know enough about him to miss him nor do I enjoy flirting that way when you didn't miss me except for the idea that it may be a hook-up for you...loser. He asked me what I am doing this weekend & I told him to meet me in the city tonight because I am going with Elaine (& others) to see TLS play in his new band. He sends it back "swing by Brooklyn". Ummmmm.............who 'swings by' Brooklyn? That's like saying "Hey? Going to the city? Stop by Newark first!" So I sent him my # and said to call & come. He won't.
I will get a call from him in like 2 weeks on a random Tuesday and he'll say "Hey. How's it going? Miss me?" and he won't say his name. He won't say my name. This is his noncommittal way of keeping women at arm's-length and still trying to have fun.
I must say that when I knew him he was hot. As in Hottie Danny hot. But it's been almost 5 years and we know what happened with Gameboy's hair. ISSUES! Anyway, let's hope.
