Yay for Antibiotics! (Not Men)

Today I was sitting on my porch drinking coffee, waiting for my prescription antibiotics to kick in, and thinking to myself: "why are men like that?" Because WHYYYYYY are they like that? WHY? I have no recollection of ever having entered myself into this lottery. My luck is shit anyway. Maybe I keep running back to the worst guys because I'm not ready for the good ones.

Yes, I asked a man on a date and we are in fact not going on said date. Why? Well, originally I was going to blame myself for not following up, but I texted on Wednesday asking "are we still on for Sunday?" with no response. I was going to blame myself for going back to this man who has (a) never taken me on a date, and (b) asked me to be his girlfriend out of the blue and ghosted me for four days. Honestly, I should blame myself for going back to that, but I won't! I won't!

Luckily it's a wonderful day and I had a fun time singing along to music in my car before crying about everything later. Because I knew what would happen! I even wrote a question mark after "date" on my calendar (it has since been crossed out angrily in pen). What's a girl to do?

Not to mention I also have a UTI! Because why not add physical turmoil to emotional turmoil? And, coincidentally, as if my urinary tract knew exactly how I was feeling, this infection happens to be the most painful one I have ever experienced. How wonderful!

These are very small problems in the grand scheme of it all, but DAMN are they annoying! I'll leave you with this: at least UTIs can be cured with antibiotics. There is no cure for men.

Maybe the real problem isn’t that men are confusing, it’s that we keep waiting for answers from people who show who they are by not showing up. Yes, it hurts, but his no show probably saved you the time and energy you would have wasted. Silence is an answer. He clearly had options. If someone won’t give a straight reply, they may be keeping their options open, in case they come back, but do you want to keep waiting for someone who treats you like a backup? If a person keeps leaving you stressed, hurt, or doubting your worth, they are not for you, they clearly do not care about you or how you feel. You deserve better than that..…

banger…. there is no cure for men. bisexuality is a gift and a wonder, but dating is a curse… evidence keeps suggesting that no one person can satisfy one’s needs, and experience has informed that polyamory is a complicated and messy thing. what a world we live in. anyway, drink cranberry juice (not cranberry cocktail) and STAY HYDRATED! good luck out there and keep singing in ur car <3
