I’m a fool.

The new chapter I supposedly felt I ended fairly quickly.

DC came into town in late January and we went out “as friends” and ended the night in a full out make-out session on the dance floor of a crappy drive bar in Brooklyn. Afterwards we had barely any contact until his next visit, about 3 weeks later.

The next time, he stayed over at my apartment.

Bad idea.

Of course, after drinks, and so on, one thing led to another. But what did that culminate in? A whole bunch of nothing afterwards. No talking, no nothing. I’d been duped.

The weekend afterwards was DC’s birthday and I headed down to, actually, DC to attend his big party. What I encountered was a great time – but without him. By the time I arrived around 10:30, he was most definitely drunk. By midnight, he had completely disappeared from his party. Gone. Didn’t see him again, nor seen him since.

I did get a text from him… 2 days later.

Well, the whole time I was torn. I realize that DC was too much of a “boy” vs a “man.”

So what does this mean?

This article – http://justmytype.ca/11-differences-between-dating-a-boy-vs-a-man/ – really cleared some things up. I immediately realized that I had ignored all the terrible signs – the narcissism, the attitude, the immaturity… I was blinded.

I agonized over the situation, but got over it fairly quickly as I focused on someone else, more later.
