So let's say you tell this guy, "listen buddy, that's not what I'm all about, so BEAT IT. Delete my number, because I don't want to hear from you again."
And he does. And six months go by and you don't hear from him again. And it's good because you're a nice girl who is looking for a nice guy, but you're sad because you actually did kinda like him. He's tall and funny and has a good job and all the things that you generally required of someone who is going to be boyfriend material. With some extras - like being super cute.
And then on a beautiful Sunday afternoon you're sitting at your pool next to your friends and you're chatting and you see someone waving at you from across the pool. And you're like "hmmm who's that", and then you realize IT'S THE DUDE.
And it kind of freaks you out but whatever it's Chicago you're bound to run into each other again at some point.
So let's say you chalk it up to a freak incident and move on with your life.
Then let's say you're coming home from work on a Monday evening and you walk in to the lobby of your building and BOOM. THE DUDE. THERE HE IS. AGAIN. AT YOUR HOME. AGAIN.
So you're like Holy Shit, he's either stalking me, OR HE'S MOVED IN TO MY BUILDING.
So let's say you send him a facebook message, and it turns out, YEP. HE MOVED IN TO YOUR BUILDING.
OF ALL THE BUILDINGS IN CHICAGO, HE PICKED YOUR BUILDING TO MOVE IN TO.
And yes, he knew it was your building.
Let's say you tell some of your good friends, to gauge their reactions, because you aren't sure if yours is appropriate:
me: O
NO
[The Dude] MOVED IN TO MY BUILDING
S: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
LKASJFLKAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

ReplyDeleteOMG!!!!! That is crazy! I would have a million questions for The Dude- most important being WHY your building?? Ahhh- so looking forward to hearing more about this!
ReplyDeleteHe's in love with you. He realized you were the one that got away, needed a new place and waited around until he found a perfect one in your building. You will either fall madly in love and live happily ever after, or he will end up being a pycho killer. Whoa...I've been watching too many movies.
ReplyDeletewhat a small world. Kind of weird that he knew you lived there and scoped it out. Oooh maybe its fate! (yeah I know I have been watching too many romantic comedies lately--feel free to slap me for saying that)
ReplyDeleteOh NOOO! So awkward! This is a rom-com waiting to happen.
ReplyDeleteOmg! So awkward!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAwkward, but really convenient for 1 a.m. calls when YOU want them?
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Sounds like the script of a movie. A couple things: (1) really proud of you for showing self-respect and telling him to get lost when he didn't treat you like you deserve!
ReplyDelete(2) Now, instead of calling you or texting you at 1:00 a.m., he's going to be knocking on your door. HA! You better not answer!!! ;-)
Oh no... this made me laugh. That would be awful. Stumbled upon your blog from another blog (a great dane blog). I'm in Chicago too. My Great Dane, Isabella, passed away last month. Still so heartbroken. As a distraction, I started reading about other people's great danes...hope Elle is doing well.
ReplyDeleteTina - thanks. So sorry about your baby... I hate that they don't live very long. :(
