so I asked Erika out.

Her response? Well I’ll outline the conversation over text message.

J: I want to know you better. Would you date me? -1:10am

E: I cant jason. That was a shock.i dont want to make people mad -12:05pm

J: ? -12:32pm

E: Never mind -12:33pm

J: I want to be with you and so it wouldnt bother me. Im being told to ask stacie out but thats not who i choose -12:37pm

J: Again. Being told to ask her out. I figure now was a good time to ask you out. I dont really fear rejection. Sorry if it surprised you. Turn me down -1:35pm

J: Because you dont want to date me. Not because you fear a reaction. I could handle that. -1:37pm

J: I give you as long as you need to form an answer. Dont forget to let me know when you’ve arrived safely. -4:24pm

E: umm. We just left the gym, both guys and us lost. I cant date you though im sorry. ill be to the hotel in an hour so i will be online. later -9:32pm

J: Its ok. Least I know why. 🙂 thanks for being honest. Anyway sorry you lost. I wont be online.. I dont have my laptop. Call later if you wanna talk. -9:37pm

E: Wait you know why? What are you talknig about -9:41pm

J: It was cuz you have no interest in dating me. Ironicly When i recieved your text I got done explaining to stacies friends that i only like her as a friend. -9:47pm

E: You did not mention me did you? -9:47pm

J: Why would I? I was just setting things straight with em so they would set her straight and stop telling me to get with her. So no I didn’t. -9:51pm

Thats when it ended.. so.. yep

And thats that.

At least I wasn’t telling a lie. I really can handle rejection.

I think…
