i wonder how long he's known. something i said spurred it, i'm sure. he called me last week on more than a single consecutive day. I enjoy talking and the sound of my voice, but i would never expect another person to voluntarily listen to my mindless ramblings and yet -- here was proof!
even crazier is the fact that i picked up the phone and answered it instead of letting it ring like always.
i almost feel bad, really. like i'm wasting his time. like i should warn him, since no one else has yet. how does one gracefully go about it? dashing hopes, shattering reality?
it's for his own good, i should remind you.
last year when A was mildly interested, i recoiled like a turtle in its shell. stopped returning calls and acknowledging the taps on the glass of my display case. not wanting to bring any attention to myself, i stayed put until gradually he forgot about me or cognitively refused to consider me. whichever came first.
he may have been upset with me for a bit, but i think that's passed now that he's realized i did him a huge favor. we're still friends, he calls me on the mornings of my radio show (never more than one day in a row, so i don't run out of anything to talk about and hopefully don't bore him over the course of our two minute convo).
but to return to the present. any advice? is the ignore tactic okay or have i employed it too often? i don't want him to be mad at me, maybe i should just cut to the chase and explain somehow it's not him it's me.
