Check the Caller ID...

Picture this ... its early evening, a great bottle of Cabernet, new wine glasses and all is quiet... that is until this girl doesn't pay attention to her caller id and answers the phone only to find her non-ex (as I prefer to call him) on the other line. While the conversation was peculiar (he's getting married in 2 weeks), due to the wine's influence, I decided to be pleasant. As I told him when he commented "you sound good", "And that's only the first glass of wine!". Go figure - anywayz... I figured no need for me to put any nasty karma vibes, congratulated him on his impending nuptials, etc. only to hear "You need to meet her - she's just like you!".

Why is it men seem to compare their latest partners to their past? Is that supposed to be a complement? If she WAS like me, she would have drop kicked him into next year for his behavior, unless, of course, he hasn't shown his true self to her and she's living an illusion of thinking he's the "perfect" man. Honey - NO MAN with enough brains wears black socks & sandals!

Its not the first time I've heard the phrase, so I've had practice with the requisite polite response "Mmmm-hmmmm...really, that's nice". Most men take that as a hint to end the conversation, however this one proceeded to wax poetic about how "independent" she is, (she doesn't talk back), how he's trying to make sure they "live within their means" (he's still not working), and how we should all meet up.

Yeah - ummm.. I'd much rather go jump off a bridge, thankuverymuch! I'm sure I'll run into them in February when I go to the LA because, of course, its unavoidable to run into him at industry events which has made me more determined to not date industry!

To make things even more peculiar, apparently he has taken license to continue to call me. This time I'm wiser - I check the Caller ID!
