Oh, how things can change in a week….

The last time I posted was one week ago.  Things were going great in the Robert department and there were no other prospects in my dating life.

All that has changed!

this week makes my head hurt.

Last Saturday night, my roommates and I threw a party at my house.  Robert was unable to attend, as he flew home for a week to be with his family.  I got prettyyyy tipsy from the margaritas I was drinking and was having a blast.

Side (but relevant note): Two weeks ago, my roommate told me that a guy in another graduate program thought that I was cute.  His name is also Robert (my life is funny like that).  Robert(2) is super attractive, confident, is an amazing public speaker, and is getting his PhD.  I was shocked to learn that he was attracted to me, but extremely flattered none the less.  I kind of forgot about it.

Back to the party – Robert(2) and I started talking.  My roommate, Robin, was extremely drunk and kept making things awkward between Robert(2) and I – you know, the forced “Oh hey, have you talked to Liz?”  I was totally embarrassed by her antics, but also super thankful because Robert(2) appeared to be really nervous to talk to me.

thanks, girl!

Anywayz, the night progressed and I ended up not-so-subtlety inviting Robert(2) to my room. We kissed and I was in heaven. Unfortunately, he had to leave to go to a friend’s bachelor party, and asked me for my number, promising to hang out soon. 

My ex-girlfriend, Scarlett, (not crazy Evelyn) was also present with her current flame. Her and I dated 4 years ago and maintain a close friendship.  But, it’s not strictly platonic – there’s definitely a lot of sexual tension between us.  We ended up kissing for approximately 2 seconds while the girl she is seeing was moving her car.  Whoopsssss

All in all, the night was a success.  Kissed two people, have a lot of fun, ate a lot of good food.  What more could a girl ask for?

Breaking Up is Hard to do

As I mentioned before, Evelyn & I broke up 4 months ago.  She did not take the break up well at all. A month prior, I tried (unsuccessfully) to break up with her, but she wouldn’t let me.  Trust me, I tried, but this girl is persistent.  I continued with the relationship for about another month or so, but then decided that I couldn’t do it anymore. 

Not surprisingly, she didn’t take it well.  Against my better judgement, we continued to talk here and there and we eventually met up for a drink one evening.

Mistake. 

This turned into several drinks and both of us got emotional, but for different reasons (unbeknownst to her).  I had just received bad news the day before and was really messed up over that, not about our relationship.  We ended up crying in my car and she kissed me.  I felt SO terrible when that happened because I KNEW this opened the flood gates to something I did not want.  Oy vey.

We continued to talk here and there, (about normal things, not about us) for the next few weeks.  She wanted to meet up, but I kept making up excuses.  I eventually had to send her a very well thought out e-mail explaining why we shouldn’t talk anymore.  I spoke to a mutual friend who told me all the things Evelyn was saying to her about us.  She truly believed deep down that I really wanted to be with her and that I was still in love with her, which wasn’t even slightly true.  This really made me feel horrible and I decided that I needed to cut off communication.  

Again, she did not take this well.  She continued to call and text me, leaving a voicemail here and there as well.  Once, she just sent me the following picture:

…… anyone know what the proper response to this is??

The story ended (or so I think) 2 weeks ago.  I was sitting in my room doing homework, when I hear a knock on the door—
