Mr. T and I have been texting quite a bit today. It started off with a simple “how is your day” and has progressed into “what are you looking for from a guy right now”. I feel like that was a very loaded question for a text message. I think the question is a result of the responses to a previous set of questions about my job. I said I was excited for the summer because my work commitments change. I work at university and when the students leave it’s a different world. He asked me how many hours I work during the week. I said I don’t count hours because that’s not what job is about but it probably around 60+. He asked about over time and I said there were other perks to the job. He asked about down time and how I relax. I said I deal with it as it comes but my department is understanding. He then asked what I would do right now if I wasn’t at work. This is the question that I think fueled the “looking for right now” question. I said sleep but if that wasn’t an answer then hanging out with my friends doing a variety of things. Did he not like my answer? Did he think I should have said hang out with boyfriend? Seriously, I would sleep. I love my friends and family but all I want to do is sleep this weekend. This semester has killed me. Anyway… I said that I was looking for a guy who “I can be myself with. He has to understand the good and bad of my job. He has his own life and I have mine but we make room for each other”. If he is looking to “complete me” or be completed by me, then keep moving… those applicants need not apply.
Am I reading too much into these loaded text messages? Let me count the reasons why I don’t like having semi-important conversations via text message.
