Some people are idiots.

Be warned: I may name names here. One of the few times that I do, but we'll see.

Anyway, so there's a little more to the story that involves me from that night we went ballroom dancing. A cute blonde came up to me out of nowhere and asked me to dance with her. To be honest, I wasn't about to turn her down. Everyone who knows me knows that I never turn down a cute girl!

Anyway, I add her on Facebook and she gives me her number. We start texting almost immediately and start hanging out/dating/being together, whatever you want to call it. Anyway, the first day it's just us, I walk her back to her place and she grabs my hand, holding it for about a block and then pulls it away saying, "I shouldn't do this." She has a boyfriend back in Montana. What else, he got his mission call and is leaving in May. Another thing, it was long distance to begin with.

That didn't really stop us, though. I'll admit, the thought crossed my mind that I would be the RM that stole her away from her douche-bag pre-mi boyfriend, so I didn't let up. We watched a movie at my apartment, cuddled, and she kissed me. Again, I didn't push her away, but for the record, she kissed me first. Little did I know what would happen next.

She went home for Super Bowl weekend and ended up meeting up with him. When she told him what happened, he said that he wasn't mad and would give her a second chance (I think there may be something else behind it, like maybe he did something too, but then that's just a theory. I know I wouldn't have been so forgiving. At least I wasn't when it happened to me). That broke me. But after she got back, we talked and she said she would break up with him.

So she did. Or at least that's what she told me. She left to go visit her grandfather this last weekend and she sends me a text this morning, "I love Taylor". WTF?!!! Did she even break up with that dude?! So we have a long conversation about the entire thing. Over text because I would have just ended up yelling at her for "kind of, sort of, not really" lying to me. Her side was that she tried to break it off but that both of them didn't want to accept it. I don't believe it myself, but whatever.

So I look around and stumble across something that President Ezra Taft Benson said. "You can have a positive influence in motivating young men to serve full-time missions. Let the young men of your acquaintance know that you expect them to assume their missionary responsibilities, that you personally want them to serve in the mission field, because you know that’s where the Lord wants them.

“Avoid steady dating with a young man prior to the time of his mission call. If your relationship with him is more casual, then he can make that decision to serve more easily and also can concentrate his full energies on his missionary work instead of the girlfriend back home.”

I found that an others with almost no effort. And really, who's to argue with a prophet of God?

So I look on his page, just because I'm curious, and I see this as his status: "so i've been thinking....long distance relationships are pretty dang sweet. not very dumb. and as long as your doing the right things...then its all good:)"

Really?! Idiot! Honestly, I just want to punch this kid. For more reasons than one, but that was just the icing on the cake! This kid really has no idea what he's in for! Especially when it comes down to when he leaves on his mission. And both of them think that it's a good thing. Geez...poor naive little pricks.

In any case, as of right now, I told her to write me out of her life. I can't be in the friend zone with her. Not possible. If something happens down the road, cool. I'm not going to stop it. Honestly, though, I'm not gonna hold my breath any more.
