A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

So I've been asking my friends for advice about this whole thing with CS. CJ says that I should be careful; he has baggage from a part relationship. My other friend, who actually knows CS, says that I should tell him how I feel. Its easy for her to say, because everything has turned out fine and dandy in her relationship situations so far. She goes to a high school reunion and poof! the next day, she has a boyfriend. She says that at the beat it could turn out to be a wonderful relationship or... Sign in to see full entry.

After sending CS that message early last week, I felt better. I don't check my text messages all that often, so I was shocked yesterday when I found that CS had sent me one--the day before I had sent him that horrible message!

But within about two hours, I'd gotten about 20 responses to my ad! And the guys didn't seem all that bad (at least, not weird). I've been e-mailing back and forth with a few that look promising, though I've noticed that most of them run to a "type"--they're all Italian slash athletic slash 5'6 slash...

So after thinking about things, and asking other people for their advice, I've decided to stick with the job I've been offered. Its only part-time, and it'll keep me from feeling totally helpless. But still, I think its kind of demeaning. But my big news is this: after sitting on the idea for a few weeks, I finally decided to write CS an e-mail, telling him exactly how I felt. Oh, it wasn't one of those rambling, incoherent e-mails, or an angry, vitrolic one. I simply said that he had really,... Sign in to see full entry.
