It& #39;s the gentleman caller& #39;s birthday today. 2 years ago I decided to send him a bday text even though we hadn& #39;t spoken in months, and the last thing each of us had said was "Wow you really thought you& #39;d ghost me?" and "Yeah, my bad, I& #39;ve been avoiding sociality with everybody"
Which I interpreted as "I& #39;m going through something right now but once I& #39;m back I& #39;ll look you up"
because we really had been getting along quite well before the aforementioned ghosting. Not benchmarks of exclusivity well, but I liked him and enjoyed his company. Got my hopes up.

I& #39;d planned for a long time to wish him a happy birthday, to remind him I exist. I was devoting a lot of brain real estate to this whole thing. (Remember: we weren& #39;t talking. The ball was in his court to let me know if things changed.)
So I did. He said "Thanks!"
and that was that.
Except I just looked up our messages and apparently even in OCTOBER of that year I was still hoping for rekindling, I "accidentally" waved at him on FB.
Which brought no fruit at all.

Oh, wait, there was also this interlude in DECEMBER. DECEMBER 2018. 7 months after we broke up (but DIDN& #39;T because he was never STRAIGHTFORWARD about it) https://twitter.com/crescentlesl/status/1073253118631063552">https://twitter.com/crescentl...
Anyway, that all turned out great. Glad I spent so much time thinking and hoping and wondering about him. https://twitter.com/crescentlesl/status/1091769244440653824">https://twitter.com/crescentl...
Happy birthday, Gentleman Caller! Hope your wife and kid(s) give you a nice day.
(this thread is a message to myself to stop devoting brain real estate to guys that are NOT doing the same)
