The Aaron Story

Okay, maybe I’m incapable of being happy…or maybe I know very well what will make me happy and I choose to pass on things that I don’t think will.

Either way, I broke it off with a guy who was sweet, kind, funny, smart, complimentary, respectful…. Why? I don’t really know, it just seemed like the right thing to do. Aaron & I got along great, had lots of fun and tons in common…but I just held back part of me. I think one of the biggest problems was that we started off fast, literally spent every day together for 5 days, and emailed when we were apart…then he left for an 8 day vacation in the woods, where he didn’t have any cell reception and we basically went for 8 days w/o talking. Now…. I do feel confident that if we had been together longer than 5 days we would have made it through, no problem. However, when he came back, there was an adjustment period, and to be honest, even though we started off strong the second time around, I still had reservations. We gave it a shot…and it didn’t work. Well, I didn’t work…if it were up to him we’d still be dating.

Sometimes, just b/c someone looks perfect on paper, it doesn’t mean they’re right for you…no matter how wonderful things are.

Let me clarify a couple things… in talking with a friend of mine, it was determined that Aaron didn’t hold my romantic interest b/c he wasn’t a challenge. This is true. And, he was too nice. This is also true. Finally, he didn’t know how to close the deal. True True True. Aaron & I did NOT sleep together, and not for lack of him wanting to…that was made clear to me. But I just didn’t feel right about it, now I’m glad I waited.

I think if he’d had more balls, been more aggressive (in the good way), and hadn’t been so god damned nice we would have worked. However, CoffeeGirl needs a man who will stand up to her sometimes. As it stands, he’s one of the sweetest guys ever, and I’m casting him back….
