Just to vent in the here and now, I met up with an ex of mine last night. First off, the break-up was mutual (although, according to some, for inexplicable reasons, she was deliberately making an effort to find things to hate about me). I wanted to end dating so as to salvage what was left as a friendship. She agreed.
Now, if a girl wants to stop dating me and wants to be my friend, I'm not expecting phone calls every night, I'm not expecting voices of reassurance or comforting shoulders whenever necessary, I'm not even expecting weekly get-togethers or anything.
However, if we are both at the same club to see the same band at the same night, I would think you would show a little more courtesy then to exchange a couple of words and then actively avoid me for the rest of the night.
And by actively, I mean immediately going to someone else to strike up a conversation when I attempt to strike up a conversation with her. I mean moving to another end of the club when I notice another friend at her end.
Perhaps the friendship she wanted was less a party one, less a clubbing one, and more of a pseudo-intellectual, meet up at coffeehouses and discuss aesthetics or go to the local arthouse cinema to catch a European flick.
But what she did was damn rude.
