As WordPress continues to recycle old prompts, I pulled another prompt from The Coffee Monsterz Co to respond to today
Suppose you are in a room with people you have not spoken to within the past year. Who are you looking for first?
In order to effectively answer this prompt, I would really have to think about people I haven’t spoken to in over a year.
Up until about five or six weeks ago, I might’ve answered this prompt with XST. She of course got back in touch with me while I was seeing the new Superman movie and opening night. We’ve been talking since, but it feels like things are definitely kind of falling off between us.
Jessica
I suppose in some weird, twisted way, the person who I probably want talk to is one I haven’t spoken to in over a year would be Jessica. I was thinking about her the other day. So much so in fact that I actually looked her up on Facebook. We’re still friends on there however I no longer “follow“ her. So her post don’t show up on my timeline or anything she has light something that I’ve posted in the last few months specifically things that pertain to, but that’s all the contact we’ve had.
As proud as I was of myself for actually breaking up with Jessica, I do still think about her from time to time. it’s hard not to. Even to this day, I still remember a conversation we had one day in her bedroom where she said to me “I’m all in“. Even though when I actually called her to break up, she said she was hoping to remain “friends with benefits”. I think that’s why this one sticks in my craw so much: she didn’t even put up a fight
Boss Lady
I’d be curious about what Boss Lady has been up to as well. It’s been a few years for me and her. She actually commented on something I posted on social media a few days ago about Donald Trump. But I know that politics is one thing that her and I do not agree upon. I’m not saying that that was necessarily a dealbreaker for us, but it certainly didn’t help.
I’ll never forget much I made the 15-year-old Rob extremely happy by having a one or two night stand with Boss Lady. That’s the first and only time I’ve ever done anything like that in my life. I feel kind of dirty about it to this day.
No for Ro
One person who I have no interest in talking to again is Ro. I still remember our last conversation vividly. She was drunk and actually invited me over to spend the night with her. But in the very same conversation, she had the audacity to tell me that I’m not really man and I don’t know what it’s like to be a real man because I don’t make six figure salary. It took just about everything within me to not tell her to go fuck herself that night but I haven’t talked to her since. I definitively cut ties up altogether with her. It was instant, and it was immediate. I deleted her on social media. I deleted her phone number. I deleted any photos that I had of on my phone, just like people tell you to do in any break up.
One Important thing to keep in mind here, is these are names that I’m throwing out here to answer this prompt. To be quite honest with you, I don’t know if I would even really want to get in touch with either of them again. Things didn’t necessarily in bad terms for any of us, but I guess I feel like if I’m not dating them, I don’t really need them as friends in my life either.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m curious to know how all three of these women are doing, but not enough to really want to talk to them again
