I have to admit that I was and still am very surprised and how depressed I've gotten over the situation with the WASP, but I hope to get back to being myself sooner rather than later. I'm still listening to a lot of Leona Lewis [though it's gotten much lighter from what I was blasting at the beginning of the week] and talking about him to anyone who sits near me for more than five minutes, but I think that I'm slowly slowly unwinding myself from the idea of being with him.
On one hand- we're clearly still more than friends, but we're not together. I crashed [literally] in his bed on Friday and we spend some time on Saturday laying in bed together. I woke up with my jeans on -I passed out too fast for him to suggest that he walk me home or offer a pair of his spare pj pants- so nothing physical happened between us, but people who are just friends don't lay in bed with hungover foreheads together, touching each others' arms and legs and smiling.
On the other hand- in my eyes the ball is in his court. He told me that he wanted to end it so I'm respecting that and doing my best to not be weird about it. I'm not going to wait forever [maybe a week or two] but I don't know what exactly I need to do to get over him. Hook up with someone else? Get aggressive on my dating site? Pressure him to get back with me? The only thing I can't do is my usual strategy of ignoring him because we have all the same friends; if I tried to avoid him I'd have to give up my relationships with The Boys and all of my former roommates, so that's not going to happen.
If you were in my shoes what would your plan be? JB says that I should just go back to acting the way I did before anything happened, but that just means acting the same way that I did while things were happening without kissing him. [And of course when I said to her that I realized what he meant by "no spark," but that doesn't take away the fact that I felt it.] I don't want to let this go but I even more don't want to ruin a wonderful friendship by making it weird. I'm turning into a broken record, I know, but I'm at a loss here.
As a response to my last post, mostly prompted by one of the comments-
Why You SHOULD Date JS:
1. I'm down.
There are very few social activities that I won't find fun or interesting; I'm almost always ready to play. I might put up a stink if it's early in the day or involves sports, but as long as I'm with people I like I will have a good time.
2. I'm funny.
Usually when people claim they're funny they don't have the skills to pay the bills, but it's a rare day when I don't make someone giggle. I can't help but find humor in everyday things. Of course this is the least funny thing I could possibly write under the heading "I'm funny." Dammit.
3. I take care of myself.
I eat well [for a broke college kid!] and take my vitamins. I keep myself in shape. I make sure my hair/nails/eyebrows are well-maintained. I shave frequently, even during the Winter. And I do it for myself, because it makes me feel good to do those things. What I'm trying to say is that I'm hot and that I'm hot for me, so being in a relationship won't change my motivations for keeping myself hot.
4. I know my faults.
I am more than aware that I'm not perfect, but I love to work on improving myself. I'm constantly evolving and I'm really turning into the type of person that I want to be.
5. I love sexual activity.
I have a very open mind when it comes to getting physical. I'll try anything and genuinely enjoy it. 'Nuff said.
6. I am my own person.
Some people are looking for someone to "complete" them, but I've always been of the mindset that you should be complete and find another complete person whose completeness compliments your own. I have activities that I am passionate about regardless of if my partner is into them or not, I have strong family ties and bonds with friends that I won't break for the sake of a romantic relationship, and I would hope that my partner had the same. I refuse to become a Lifetime Original Movie about a controlling abusive relationship, and those invariably start with the guy not letting the girl hang with her girlfriends.
7. Deep down, I'm quite sweet.
I have a mouth that runs like Usain Bolt and I've been accused of having Bitchface, but at the end of the day I'll be here to make sure that your full cup isn't too close to the edge of the table, loan you a sweatshirt when you forgot yours, stay awake with you if you're stressed out about something, burn you a CD that I think you'll really like, give you Vitamin C and NyQuil when you're sick, and remember your birthday. My friends say that I'll make a good mom one of these days.
Are you still put off by my last post or does the good outweigh the bad?

Whatever you do, don't pressure him to get back with you. You don't want to wind up in a one-side relationship, right? And you can't exactly go back to the way things were because things just aren't that way anymore. Time heals all wounds, and that's all you need.
I agree with David. Do not pressure him.
It is funny because I was depressed this passed weekend as well.
Now I think you should show your strength by moving on and not avoiding friends etc. You are going to have to let go, but don't fall off the face of the earth. Keep your friends.
I probably wouldn't have recognized the title unless you told me. But I love it. I love people saying they liked what they saw on my blog and vice versa. I absolutely love hearing about new music.
In my opinion, the good does indeed outweigh the bad, though the bad wasn't that bad. But it's nice to have a healthy mix, I mean nobody's perfect, right?
I don't think I like this "ball in his court" thing. The last thing you need to do is overstress this situation. I can't give any advice on how to get over it, but I can be a broken record myself and say just enjoy yourself.
Mini-story: When I went through the final break-up with my ex, it was back in the time when you put songs on your myspace. Ya know, and they were like a calling out to someone. Well, she put the song by Leona Lewis "Better in Time" (before it got popular). I was hurt and hated that song, till I couldn't escape it and started singing along whenever it came on the radio.
*Sorry for this long, rambling comment
Whatever you do, don't nail his best friend in an attempt to get back at him.
Sorry it didn't work out. Those college relationships are tough because everyone wants their "freedom" to drink too much and mess around with all kinds of people. He'll do that for another few years, and then he'll realize he blew it.
um... things with my boy ended quite some time ago (as in months ago) but i can't help it... when bleeding love comes on you can bet i'm belting it out with the best of them!
i'm pretty sure the ball isn't in his court. it's like it got tossed out of the court with the giant chainlink fence surrounding it and you guys are both staring at it and wondering what the hell to do. you want him to get it. he wants you to get it. my thoughts? go get it, and find another place to play!!!
wow, that was a seriously lame analogy, but i hope you got my point!
Now THAT'S a more positive post.
Can't tell if you have bitch-face or not. You NEVER show it, lol !!!
I agree with Dr. Kenneth. In fact, try not to nail anybody - Especially a friend of his though.
Just try and act aloof yet awesome at the same time. Hopefully he'll eventually realize that the spark is shared and you guys can begin something special. Tricky area though. I totally know what you mean about not wanting to ruin a great friendship.
another david: that was never a real option; sometimes i can't help what these crazy fingers of mine type on here. and i can't help but pessimistically point out that time wounds all heels ;)
cap: if i didn't have my friends i'd have nothing, so i'm not letting go
mr o: pobody's nerfect, it's true. i love rambling comments; ramble on!
dr ken: well, his best friend is also one of my best friends, so that's a can of worms i'm staying far far away from. also we'll be ineligible for "college relationships" come may. yikes.
ego: that leona just gets into your soul, doesnt she? i love the analogy, by the way :)
rob: i can't nail -anybody-? come on now. i kid [kind of]. at any rate, aloof and awesome is like breathing to me, so i like your advice best.
heff: you'll just have to trust me on this one, haha
