...well that was too good to last

Sigh.

New Boy, what is wrong with you?

So we got together last night and planned to go grab drinks where he works. He shows up and for some reason the conversation is really awkward and he seems disinterested. He was like, sort of ignoring me at the bar and not really introducing me to his friends....sort of like he didn't want to establish me as this girl he is seeing. But fine, we persisted, other people came and hung out, things got better and he ended up coming back and we had fabulous sex.

Post-sex was wonderful, lots of good giggle time, and under the context of birth control he sort of brought up that he was not planning on sleeping with other girls and expected I would not be sleeping with other guys. Okay, this is good right? I knew he was working the next day and he seemed really excited that I come by.

Okay, so today KP and I decided to head over there for dinner. We get there and it turns out he has been cut. He walks by and I ask him to join us for dinner and he of course says that was the plan. Okay, good enough.

So he sits down and is sort of being a jerk. Awkward yes, but mostly condescending and sort of rude. I don't really have a great example, but for instance, he starts mentioning all these games we don't know, and seemed really agitated to have to explain them to us, and just didn't seem like he wanted to talk because we weren't worth his time. There was just absolutely no flirting, or playful behavior, or attempts to be friendly or nice to KP. Such a drastic change.

Towards the end of the conversation I asked "since you are cut early, what are you up to tonight?". He basically didn't respond, so I said "okay well, to make this totally awkward, I was asking you to hang out tonight." He responded "oh I know. I need to go home and have dinner with my mom, but then I'll come back out." A little after that, he left.

KP and I were both sort of blown away by this dramatic change from the really nice guy, and I was not really expecting to see him again that night. I get home and start working and he comes on and gchats me. We are having this totally inane conversation where he keeps the conversation going but never brings up the obvious issue of are we hanging out tonight. For example:

New Boy: So, what are you up to?
Me: Writing about neurons. What are you up to?
New Boy: Listening to music with my dad.
Me: Cool

.....much conversation later about music, parents etc.....

New Boy: Alright well I gotta go, need to fill out my UCLA acceptance application. Talk to you soon?
Me: Enjoy

...perhaps he could tell that "enjoy" was dripping with hate from each letter?

Another small annoying point, he keeps flaunting UCLA in my face. Like, I know he is going, I didn't really expect him to go to BU instead, we are certainly not in anything resembling a relationship, but I did tell him that I like him and would obviously like him to be close-by in Boston. So, why must he bring it up like every chance he gets. Out of nowhere, and in circumstances where further explanation is not required, he pulls it out.

I am wondering if perhaps his dramatic personality change from "too nice" to super dick has to do with him trying not to get attached since now he is definitely leaving?

Anyway, I guess we'll see how things develop with this. I am certainly not going to seek him out or suggest we see each other, but if he propositions I don't think I am at the point where I would say no. The sex is still so good (though maybe it won't be anymore since he is turning into a dick), so I don't know.

You win again Hanover!
