So Not Cool.

Saturday night I got a text from Austin asking to take me to dinner and to talk. I kinda figured he was either gonna ask to date me officially, or he was going to break it off. It was the latter.

We went to dinner and at the cash register, he didn't go for his wallet, but neither did I. The girl at the counter asked if it was going to be together or separate and he awkwardly fumbled so I said "together" and look at him, since he was the one who asked me out to talk. I have paid for everything or we have gone dutch, so I decided he could pay for this one. I feel especially good about my decision to make him pay now that I know he was planning on breaking it off.

He started by saying that he had underestimated how much I liked him. He then said that introverts and extroverts do not have lasting relationships and he could never be with an introvert like me. I asked him what he thought I did to act like an introvert and he replied "you are happy being alone, you like to read, and you want to be an intelligence analyst."

I said that it was ok and that he was making this harder than he needed to with his explanations and reasoning (which was BS, btw). I also said that I still thought it was a bad idea for him to hang out with his ex. His response was to begin gushing about how much she had changed from when they broke up, how she was in love with God and just wanted to spend all her time with Him, how she had told Austin that she didn't need him anymore. He swore that he had been thinking of breaking it off with me before Alyssa started speaking to him again... Even IF he had thought about it before, I believe Alyssa was a huge catalyst that might not have inspired him to break it off if she hadn't come back into the picture. He still swears he doesn't like her "like that," but I don't believe him. I ended up texting his mom to come and pick him up at the restaurant. I detested the idea of giving him a ride home.

It doesn't matter anyway. He obviously was not interest enough to make it last, so I guess I am better off in the long run without him.
