Knock Knock - Commitment.
The other day I was having drinks with Little Miss Witty. We were comparing moving stories. You know, how long it took to finish packing, who showed up to help move boxes...things of that nature. She won, hands down.
Little Miss Witty: “So Slacker Dude asked if he could come over and ‘help me pack.’ Which I was pretty sure was code for ‘let’s have sex.’ Turns out it was neither.”
Me: “What? Did he bail? Was ‘helping you pack’ too much commitment for him?”
Little Miss Witty smirked: “Well played.”
The back-story goes like this: Little Miss Witty and Slacker Dude had been hooking up for about a month. It was fun, light, and totally casual. Once, after a night out, Little Miss Witty texted Slacker Dude “Your place or mine?” An obvious booty call, yet he texted back “I’m not really into commitment.” And no, he wasn’t kidding.
Cut back to the bar.
Me: “So what did he do?”
Little Miss Witty: “Oh, he came over.”
Me: “And?”
Little Miss Witty: “Watched me pack and used my computer to email his ex-girlfriend about how he will always love her.”
Me: “I don’t even know where to begin.”
Little Miss Witty: “Right!?”
Me: “He chose to email an ex-girlfriend instead of having sex? Or at least actually help you pack to earn brownie points towards future sex? What is his damage?”
Little Miss Witty: “Apparently, commitment.”
These are just the crazy things people tell me.
What Others Have Said...

I had the same thing happen to me a few months ago. This guy and I were casually hanging out and having a good time. After dates he would always text asking when we would hang out again. So after one date I did the asking in a text. He texted back " I don't want to be serious." Completely thrown off. I had only known him for a month and was not even thinking that way. He had spent the past few weeks saying how he wanted to get his hours cut back at his friends business so he could spend more time with me. This threw me off because I just wanted to hang out with him again and didn't understand where he had gotten that I wanted more at the moment from him.
Basically he fucked it up and it was awkward hanging out a month later. So now, we just don't hang out anymore. Was really bummed because I just really liked him as a friend.
