No Good Reason - The Last Straw

She had none.

Called me just after I finished posting last night.
Said she'd been asleep since 5pm.
Mind you it was 10:30 by the time she called.

Her phone "dropped a call 20mins into the conversation".
She calls back at 3am, with some story about how she fell asleep again.

*The next round of lies begin*

At 3am, she asks if I'm going to church in the morning, to which I say "yes". She then asks if I wanted to go with her, so I say "ok" (it's church, no harm no foul, plus we go to the same church). I then clearly ask "well what service do you wanna go to? 8am or 10:30am? She responds 8am. I'm cool with it, and before the conversation ends, she says "I'll call you in the morning to let you know I'm leaving".

Sunday AM:

No call, no text. So of course I head to church (as usual). On my way I send a text and call (thinking it's the gentlemanly thing to do.

Church ends (great service by the way...I should blog about it, lol)

I get a text message that says "I overslept".

RECAP:

She claims she slept from 6pm to 10pm last night. Then from 11pm to 3am last night. And somehow managed to "oversleep" for church this morning.

See people....it's the little things that cause people to jump ship. Not that #4 and I were in a relationship of any sort, but I just can't stand inconsistencies. For various reasons:

1. Because I've been inconsistent in the past, and I know why. And trust me, they weren't good reasons.

2. If a person is inconsistent and isn't willing to address the fact that they have an issue with it, then it has a stronger possibility of not changing.

3. I just can't deal with fickled people.

Somehow, she managed to make it to the 10:30 service. I'm glad she made it to church, but it is really inconsiderate to ask someone to do something as simple as going to church together, then bailing with NO GOOD REASON.

Unless God speaks something into my spirit, I must cleanse myself of #4, and further realize that there are only 8 numbers between 1 & 10.

{by the way...it's raining on the east coast today...how symbolic}

sheesh. Here I was thinking men were full of crap. LOL. Ugh. I think it's time to step back from #4. Good luck!

Okay.
You know what, I've read this post twice to make sure I understood exactly what happened. I think you're right. It's time to move on. Unfortunately, I've been #4 before. Not intentionally, but I remember a time when I didn't know how to be straight up with men. I would meet two great guys around the same time and be "talking" to both...but I may like one more. So I'd talk to one and accept his dates...etc. and all would be well until the other one I really liked called. Because I was still a "girl" and not mature enough to say what was what, I'd just drop the ball on the first one and make up stories on why I didn't call back, or stood him up...etc. It was a horrible thing to do. But it kinda sounds like what she's doing. These "inconsistencies" your sensing/hearing/seeing may be a result of her really liking you and wanting to date you, but maybe having someone else there that she wants to date too. Sorry Dear. She'll get hers. I know I've payed for mine. Good Luck! It'll get better. :)

#4 sounds like a trickster. Full of games, but I bet she sweet to you like honey when she aint duckin' and dodgin. I know you want to always be the gentleman (Cordiality exists among all who abide within) but sometimes you gotta just let em' have it. Don't call, don't text back, she's playing a game of cat and mouse and it seems that she is getting pleasure out of watching you chase after her. It's time to recycle #4. OBAMA 08!

I couldn't agree with you more. Some ONE or some THING is more important to her than you. It does seem just as everyone else has said, like she is playing a game. I think you are right... it is time to step away from #4.

Best wishes!
