Gone like the Wind

It starts out like any relationship.  You meet this great guy and days turn to weeks, and weeks turn to months.  You think to yourself, "Could this be the start of a lasting relationship? Could this guy be the one?"

You start to get your hopes up, and then before you know it, the number of texts he sends, and the phone calls he makes begin to decrease.  He starts to be short with you and your weekend dinners start becoming last minute calls to change your plans.  Plans that, unfortunately, do not include you.

Soon, you get the hint.  You're single and alone.  Why?

What did you do wrong? Everything was going great.  You put yourself out there and gave him everything -- your whole heart.

Now you're left standing there trying to piece together what went wrong, and your friends are no help.  Everyone is telling you a story of a friend that went through the same thing and now they are back together. 

The story has something to do with, the guy having an epiphany that he cannot live with out her.  He learned the error of his ways and if she had moved on, they would not be together.  They tell you to hang in there and that he will change his mind.  They're sure of it!

Of course, this story just complicates things even more.  Your friends are giving you false hope, but don't blame them.  They just want to see you happy, not your current state with snot running down your shirt and eyes as dark as raccoons. 

Here is my free advice.  Move on, don't listen to your romance drunken friends.  They have no idea what they are talking about.  If the story they told is true, it was a one time event which is bound to happen due to the art of probability. 

If he was "The One" he would not have left you to explain how things went wrong to your friends.  If he was "The One" then he would have known what he had, in his arms, when he held you, kissed you, and looked into your eyes.

He's not "The One" so move on.  It's better to waste your time finding "The One" than wasting your time trying to get back "The Old One".  He's out there, don't give up.
