booty call unanswered - Phew!
After days of introversion, I ventured out last night with two colleagues. The rooftop lounge at the Gansevoort was breathtaking - and apparently intoxicating. My alcohol tolerance had shifted on me over the week and I had slightly overstepped my bounds...all within that one glass of wine...
All was well until after dinner, I found myself at home alone and very awake. I had heard of this drunk dialing thing and, of course, of the booty call. But, are they really ever combined? Anyway, I drunk texted imPerfect - i thought not quite a 'call' per se, more of a whisper. 'Hey, what's up?' is all I wrote, myself shying away from what I was really doing.
And I got no answer. I then (oh lord, I cannot believe i did this..) texted about 1/2 hour later:
'I canont believe that the first booty call I make in my life goes unanswered'
Why? why? why? did I do that. I think I wanted to let him know that he had missed it. But, really I was the one who was missing it. He was most likely getting his own booty -
Then the phone rings. Could it be?
It was mr.small (recently moved to town for the year). I answered and we chatted for a bit. Yes, it did cross my mind. No, I did not take the bait.
I am so embarrassed this morning. But, luckily, not more embarrassed than if imPerfect had actually answered and was waking up next to me...
Booty calls are for the weak and horny. I am happy to be the second, but the first....ugh.

None really, I guess. He wrote to me this morning and said he was glad he did not get my text last night because he was in no condition to be answering any booty calls (i.e. he was pissed). And he made a point of mentioning that he was out with a GUY friend - probably to quell any thoughts of him being with another woman - kind of cute that he found it important to mention.
And it did make me feel better.
I go back and forth in imPerfect. Really. I like him and would like to get the chance to date him, like for real. But barring that, I am not sure it is worth trying to find some middle ground where we can have the chance to get to know each other (in person - the email and texting thing is not real) without making him feel suffocated and having to have relationship conversations every fourth encounter.
So, I do not know what my terms are. I suspect they are not going to be met and I should do what I can to protect myself. And I should find another booty call option - someone younger and dumber so there's no chance of my heart getting involved...
damn my heart.
Shall we have a vote then? Do you feel you have enough information to vote?
he's already been voted off your island i think. your barricade has been weakend by booty and all the quasi rejection which inevitably makes you want to bring him back
