Dating Chronicles: The One Where I Ended Things Right Before Valentine’s Day

I know people typically don’t end things right before Valentine’s Day, but I did.  You know the guy I mentioned on here a few times?  Well I ended things with him on Monday evening.  I feel like he was good on paper, but the feelings weren’t there on my side and I didn’t want to lead him on and make him feel like he had a chance.  Grammatical errors and pseudo-sexist comments (which I then corrected) aside he was actually a decent guy (until Monday night) and I know that there’s someone out there for him, it’s just not me.  There are a few things that I’m not willing to budge on (right now and in the future) and he was way too flip-floppy for me.  He’d mentioned early on that he wanted biological children and I informed him that I don’t.  Ever.  But when I mentioned that on Monday night he was all like “I don’t want children” to which I replied “I do, just not now.  Not for the next 5-7 years.”  All of a sudden he wanted children and blah blah blah.  Ugh!  He also told me that he’s looking to settle down pretty soon, that he’s tired of being by himself.  I’m not.  In fact, I told him from the jump that I wasn’t looking for anything serious and that I was actually seeing other people as well as him.  He initially told me (and said it a few more times) that he wasn’t seeing anyone else, that he didn’t want to.  But when I mentioned the others again on Monday night he was all of a sudden “f*cking 4 or 5 other bitches”.  That to me was the turning point in the conversation.  First of all, why do they have to be “bitches” and you don’t know how many people you’re sleeping with?  Even I know my current number, and it doesn’t include him!  He then suggested we go and have sex.  NO SIR!  

 

Ugh!  It was a mess all the way around and I’m definitely relieved that it’s over.  I’ve already done the purge and deleted and blocked him on Facebook as well as blocked him on my phone.  

 

Now I know that Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I still have plans to celebrate the day with my girls and another guy I’m seeing.   I might even be able to make dinner plans with the other guy now that the flip-flopper is out of the way.
