So a while back I was crushing on this guy. We’d been building a rapport. Perhaps, too much of a rapport. He started calling me pal. And buddy. Etc. I felt very much like Millie Dillmount in Thoroughly Modern Millie when Trevor Graydon calls her “John” and she tries to make it not be a bad thing. Word to the wise: it can never NOT be a bad thing.
So I strive to get past the whole “pal” thing. I am told by someone, ”Maybe he is just one of those people who says pal all the time.” Well, regardless if that is true or not I was speaking with this young man the other day when he says to me “something something something my girlfriend something something.” WHAT?! Are you kidding me! Here we have been building this rapport for months and months, and suddenly he has a GIRLFRIEND? What is with boys doing stuff like this. (Not getting girlfriends…because I get that. I mean sure I’m mad that the girlfriend they get isn’t me…but whatever.)
In what planet is it a good idea to not disclose that type of information early on in the game when it is pretty clear (I am not a subtle creature) that the girl in the scenario is not only in it for the banter. I mean really. Disclosure. It would have nipped the crush in the bud and friendship would have ensued. Instead all this time spent primping and all my witticisms were for naught. Because he has a girlfriend. Crush crushed.
Oh well, at least we’re pals…

Whaaa??? Who?
I'm thinking that that's why he was calling you pal, as an indication of non interest. But boys are dumb so you never know.
