Just very recently, an ex-could have been sent me an email, asking how things are working for me - and he's asking me out on a date. Yes, through email!
How so informal?!
I am glad to know that all is well for him - he's now a lawyer (he always wanted to be one). And it was so nice to know that he's sorry for all the things he did and never did for me. We were almost there. He almost got me, but not quite.
Although we were never an item (almost, I suppose), this boy made me shed a bucket of tears back in college.
Now, he's asking me out?! What the hell is that for? A fancy dinner will never compensate the tears of years ago!
Kidding.
Although he was considered as one of the "knight in shining armor" back in those days when I knew nothing much about life and I trusted too much, I always have this inkling that we're never for each other.
That was years ago. I have changed as he has.
While it took me some crying days to finally get back to my senses again, I have forgiven him long before he even realized that he's already forgiven. In fact, I have forgotten everything about him. I had to text a friend to remind me of this boy.
Now that I am reminded, it'll be hard for me to trust him again. To forget is harder for me than to forgive. I'd say, he's one lucky guy that he's no longer part of my memory bank. But you see, I cannot just trust him. Trust is not something you just acquire overnight; you need to work hard to regain it. But in this case, I don't think I'd like to broaden my horizon.
Thanks but no thanks.
