Hello! Ever heard the saying "_____ can't live with them, can't live without them." Tonight, I am filling in that blank with the work boys. I have to start off by saying that personally, I do not have loads of experience in the guy department. I've never had a boyfriend, or been on a date. (Actually I get nervous even when I just think about dates.) But what I have experienced is the embarrassment and sting of guys when they make a jerk move. Two guys come into mind when I think about this.
The first and most recent is Aaron*, a friend since childhood. He goes to my church. He is nothing spectacular, just cute; and what I thought was an all-around nice guy. Two nights ago I was chatting with him online, (i might have kinda-sorta liked him) and he was very conversational! The first unusual thing he said was "yeah I was actually thinking about you at school today." Of course I was flattered. Later he said something funny and I commented "haha you just made my day." He replied with "well you make my day everyday so I guess we're even." I bet the first thing you are thinking is "wow is she ever gullible!" Guess I was. Turns out he was just joking around. Boy, it was a funny joke. hahaha.
Three weeks ago there was this big halloween party and I was thinking of going with a friend of mine. The night before I was texting Kent* a friend from Math class. He was going to the party also, he's like "are you coming wanna hook up.." All this random stuff of how we could be a thing, "this would be the start of something good." I thought he was kidding. It turned out that I went to another party, but at 8 that night he texted to check that i was coming. That night at 11, i go on Facebook and Kent is in a relationship. With a girl that he called a slut not 24 hours before. I felt humiliated. It was almost as it he did it to spite me.
Through these couple of incidents I have come to realize three things:
1. Guys can be jerks.
2. Guys can be assholes.
3. And guys can be nice.
Maybe the third is wishful thinking, but by looking at the past I believe it is true. I'll just have to wait my turn. Boys will be boys.

Sorry for the bad experiences with boys you've had of late. :( Not fun. I guess that's the mess of dealing with people.. they're not perfect and hurt us. And I think perhaps we have different expectations of boys in our lives..
