I almost dated a musician in college
We became friends because another friend in that circle of people drug me over one day, I was new and didn't have any friends so I would sit in the lounge and draw. I'd seen these people a few times but kept to my own lane. After being forcibly inducted into their group this one guy came over and sat with me, commenting on my drawings. I'll keep his name to myself for now, anyone really interested can message me privately. But any-howitzers... we talked about art, he was in school for graphic design? I think? I was there for baking and pastry, I went to college at the art institute, btw. And we hung out a lot, talked on the phone quite often, it didn't bother me that he was 22 and I was just shy of 19,we were friends, I had just broken up with my long term high school boyfriend about a month earlier so I was still pretty upset. No way I'd put myself into another relationship. I wanted to focus on college. And one day we got some sandwiches and walked around downtown and he asked me on a date. I said no, school, being single for the first time in 3 years and just wanting some "Me" time. He looked a bit sad but agreed, we'd stay friends. After a few weeks he asked if I wanted to see that Wizard of Oz movie, you know. The one with James Franco. I said sure, it looked neat. So we actually skipped classes to go to a theatre in uptown, and on the way there I'm pretty sure we ran into Little John, coming out of an elevator at a swanky hotel we walked through for a shortcut. It was weird. Anyway, we went to the movie, it was terrible and we made fun of it. We head back to the parking garage by school and I don't know, I liked him but I wanted to just be me, but when we were just sitting there, laughing about the movie, we ended up kissing, once. I didn't really feel a spark, so I knew that was not going to happen. He got out, walked away and then came back "hey wait here, I've got something for you" he went to his car and came back with a CD. "This is for you. I wrote a few of these when we first met. I hope you like it". This guy...ah man. I've still got the CD, it's got some good songs, I don't know which ones are about me but i still think "ya know. It probably wouldn't have been good if we ended up dating" I don't want angry-ex-boyfriend songs written about me.
