Toothbrush Curse - The Saga!

Anyway, two blah-g posts ago, I've discussed how the roles have turned.... A couple months ago, I went out on a date with a certain someone. He kicked my ass at bowling. Afterward, our stomachs were grumbling so we ended up grubbing on some good home-style Mexican food via take out. I invited him over to hang out, eat, watch television. I let him use my bathroom and then all of a sudden, he says he needed to go home and "study" for his Anatomy test or something like that rather. Inside my head I'm like - Ummm, it's a Friday. There is no school on Saturdays, are there?? I immediately recalled recent conversations we had that the test was actually on the following Thursday. I refused to think that this dude was some sort of an overachiever geek kind of man. Why the heck is he leaving so early? Oh well. I let him go his merrily way out of my apartment. I really didn't think much of it. No big deal, right? We'll kick again in a few days.... That so did not happen. As a matter of fact, I did not hear from him in like a week and that is straight odd. I even text'd him to say "hi" but no reply back. Then, things started to bug the living crap out of me. I know I didn't do anything wrong! So being the super thinker that I am, I had to back track and analyze the entire situation, which took a few days by the way. About 9 days later, I get up for work, shower, and do my normal routine. As I'm brushing my teeth, I take a quick glance at my toothbrush holder which is in need of some cleaning. (I hate seeing specs dried up white toothpaste on it). *DOUBLE TAKE!* Light bulb! What normally should be an empty toothbrush holder is definitely not. There's one toothbrush in my mouth and another one occupying a space on my toothbrush holder!! TWO toothbrushes!!!?? Awww....it's just my younger sister's toothbrush. She sleeps over from time to time. Moving on.... [Flashback mode] But then, I immediately thought of the Richmond apartment incident and was like: Did he make the same assumption I made years ago? Did my date from more than a week ago think I've had another male other than him, as a frequent slumber party member? *wink-wink* Was this the reason why he left so abruptly? Was this the reason why I never got a call back for weeks? Am I thinking too much into the situation? Well you do have to take in account that this is the same person that I accidentally text'd a while back my address, as well as, saying I'd leave to the door unlocked. So that's the story. Whatever the case may be, it's kinda obvious that single people can be a tad bit overly precarious. Or maybe I'm just speaking for myself and perhaps him even. No one wants to be played. But at the same time, we all need to learn that it's very very bad thing to make assumptions and place judgement right away. I guess karma got back at me. Lesson learned: No matter the situation, it's always safe to just simply ask, right? ....right. It eliminates a whole lot of work wondering... Just ask. Updated 12/18/09: I take back the "Just Ask" comment. After thinking about it. It's really none of our damn business unless you are exclusively dating that particular person. I suppose it just going to remain left unsaid. Here's my revised advice: Just Move On! <-----aaah I feel much better! And for the record, it was never the same between dude and I. He moved on....and oh I did, too!
