After All This Time, I'm Still Into You

I was talking with my roommate last night about a guy that she briefly dated. He ended the relationship only a few weeks into it, and she was pretty devastated by that, which is uncharacteristic for her. Normally, she is the one to end things, or else it is a mutual breakup.

This guy came up in our conversation because he has been trying to get back into her life. Maybe he feels like he has to prove that he meant it when he said, "Let's still be friends." Maybe he still likes her (that's my personal theory). Maybe he just knows how much fun she is and wants to be a part of all the cool adventures she orchestrates. I. Don't. Know. She was hurt, though, and kept her distance until very recently. She went on dates with other guys and filled her life with friends and activities. She didn't want to waste her time with someone who didn't want her. (She is so smart and logical!)

But yesterday, she confided that she finally felt okay with being around him again (he had hung out with a bunch of us on Friday night). She had struggled with some heartbreak and sadness, just like the rest of us usually do after a breakup, and she hadn't wanted to be around him much, but she now felt like they really could be friends after all that happened romantically between the two of them. Believing him to be into her still (my gosh, you should see the way he LOOKS at her, and the cute little pranks he plays on her to get her attention...is it really platonic?  Really???), I asked her if he decided that he wanted her back, would she let him have her? Without hesitating, she laughed out loud and said, "Yeah. Definitely. Yeah."

And you know what? I think that every girl has that one guy who she would go back to in a heartbeat if he wanted her. I know that I do. No matter what, he's got a piece of your heart. And you can't forget him, no matter how hard you try.
