It had been two days with no word from hipster. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not insane. As a semi-rational human being, I recognize that two days is not a long time to go without hearing from someone. People are busy, people have commitments, people get hit by buses...
But I knew that hipster had not gotten hit by a bus. As I sat gloomily at my work holiday party, sipping on a glass of pinot grigio (did I mention that pinot grigio is my poison of choice?), I just knew something was up.
"Don't worry," my work friends assured me. "It's only been two days!"
The next day, I still hadn't heard from hipster. As I sat on my computer, parousing facebook, I noticed he was online.
The conversation went something like this:
Me: What are you up to?
H: Nothing.
Me: Oh, ok.
H: Sorry if I've been kinda distant.
Me: Yeah.
H: It's just that, we have nothing in common.
Me: Um, ok.
H: I think you're really cool, but it's just not gonna work. I mean, if I
don't have 'that feeling' after 2 weeks, I'm definitely not gonna have it in the long run, ya know?
Me: Right. Well, take care.
H: Yeah, you too!
Within seconds he had been defriended on facebook, deleted in my phone, and all but erased from my life. (I promise I'm not crazy, but who wants memories of a romance gone bad?)
Goodbye hipster phase. You were fun while you lasted.
