Friends
I am not too sure where to begin, so I'm just going to write. Let me know if this makes any sense.I'm going to talk about my friends, or lack thereof. This rant is going to be about a particular girl-friend of mine. Let's just call her Jet Li.
So Jet-Li and I make plans to hang out on Saturday. I was at work during the day and was supposed to meet her for dinner/hanging out/ after I finished with work. Before leaving work, I called and confirmed and she said the plan was "on" and that we would have dinner together. So I was like ok. I went home, showered/changed and before leaving confirmed with her again about dinner, and she said "yea yea just come over and we'll decide where to go". She lives about 30 mins from my place. Mid-way she tells me to come to her boyfriend's house instead which is no big deal coz they live quite close by. I go there and he makes us wait for no reason....He wasn't even coming to dinner with us. Anyways, after waiting for 20 mins, we left to "eat". At the restaurant, I ordered myself a big meal coz i was starving and she orders "water with no ice" ! She, apparently had dinner already. I was given no reason, but just that "yeah i had dinner already". Maybe I'm taking this too seriously, but dont' you think, she could have atleast waited till I got there. Before I left my house, she had not eaten and had told me to get to her place. So basically, in a matter of 30 mins, she decided to eat, but not wait for me. Hmmm....I was slightly angry at her, but did not show it. I know her better than that. I'm sure her BF insisted that they eat and not wait for me, which is fine with me, but I think it's only fair to call and let me know. I could have eaten at home or just grabbed some junk-food on the way. Even before leaving for the restaurant, I asked her whether she had eaten and she said "sorta" but that she would grab a bite at the restaraunt. I hate it when she does this. This has happened countless number of times. On her b'day last year, she did the same. we were all supposed to eat together. Her BF called me and we made plans to meet at his house and take her out. I get there (mind you after work, i'm starving) and they've already eaten. Anyways, so to continue on our adventure on Saturday. After dinner, we were supposed to go hit a bar or something. Normally her BF is never interested in going out...he's more of a home-body. But this time he wants to go for a movie. Now, Jet Li knew I was very much lookign forward to hitting a bar coz we hadn't done that in soooo long. Still she asks me whether we could go for a movie instead. I said sure, but I she realized I did not mean it. Little did she know that I did mean it. I would have left her at her bf's and gone home sweet home. But she comes with me to the bar instead, saying that she has ditched me enough times and was going to stick to her word for once. Nice of her..i think. We get to the bar. She orders a shot and waits for me to finish my drink. Now I'm a slow drinker, but knowing that she was just waiting for me to finish so we could pack up and go, I tried my best to gulp it down. The entire night was a mess. I wanted to go to this new bar, but she picked the first bar that we saw. It felt as if she was just doing me a favour, by coming out with me....waiting for me to finish my drink...and then go home...just so that she could say that she did not ditch me this time. I would have rather, she ditched me. I coudl have sat home with my "tanhayee". Whatever happened to 2 friends going out and just having fun. All she wanted to do was, get the hell out of there. :( She said she didn't want to make it a late night coz she had to get up early coz she had to go someplace. So when I dropped her at her boyfriend's place, and went home...the next day she told me she coudln't get up early coz she ended up staying at her bf's place till late. Now the best part is, this is her ex-bf. She says they're not together. None of my business...i realize that. But why does she have to lie and say that she was tired. She obviously wasn't tired staying up with him. I only wanted us to sit at a bar and talk about stuff. She was too tired to do that. And let me just tell you, their relationship is just wierd. Not sexual, if any of you are wondering. They have sorta broken up and are just talking things out. I think she just likes to hang out with guys. Doesn't value true friendship :( :(
Maybe Im just taking this too seriously. But this incident has happened so many times, I begin to wonder. If I confront her about this, she always says, I think too much and that she was just tired. NO point confronting her. How would I in anycase ? She NEVER picks up my phone or return my messages. You have to know her. That's just how my friend is.
