'Nuff Said

So, remember Mr. Sweetheart from last time?  Yea, well that didn't take very long...although I'll admit it did last longer than I thought it would.  In my defense, I gave it a fair shot and did the best with what I had.  Let me start by explaining what happened to the best of my abilities.  We'd been on a few dates over the last few months, with the most recent one being an epic Valentine's day date.  It was sweet, romantic, movie-type stuff.  He did good, and you know when I say he did good, he did good.  He made it personal, but not too cheesy.  We shared a sweet, simple good-night kiss, and things were good.  About a week ago...ok, less than a week...we made it "facebook official".  I hate that.  I hate the way it sounds and the weight people put on it, because let me be the first to say that facebook does not dictate how things go in our lives.  He asked, I got pressured by roommates, and I agreed.  Mistake number one; don't ever let other people convince you to do something you're not sure you want to do.  He's come over to the house a few times since then and it was fine.  Me being the natural relationship phobiac I am was having my doubts, but I didn't let on to that to him.  I'll admit, I wasn't as cozy as I could have been, but in all fairness I wanted to take things slow.  I had no clue he was having his own doubts, especially considering he was the one who wanted to jump into it.  So it was a complete shock when I get a facebook message out of the blue tonight saying he wanted to figure things out and he made the mistake of jumping into this relationship.  Wanting to be sure he really wanted to be "just friends" and nothing more I asked, and he answered with a yes.  So, after a couple of months, and an "official" week (rolling my eyes here), I am officially single again.  Not complaining honestly, which bothers me a little.  But it looks like this shark's got some more fishing to do; stay tuned ;)
