Tonight while Melanie and I where chit chatting over facebook , she mentioned that sometimes she still misses Dustin. If you don't know, Dustin is a guy Melanie has liked since high school, and it didn't work out because he didn't feel the same way about her. It really was a case of "He's Just Not That Into You."(I know she proably wishes I would burn that book already. But I need it. I can decode boy behavior for my friends easily, but for myself, not so much.) I noticed Melanie was the one initiating most of their hangs out when they got together, and sure enough he told her he only saw her as a friend.
I really felt bad when Dustin told her that because honestly if you don't know Melanie, she really is one of the nicest people you will meet. She'll cook for you, play games with you, let you drink as much coffee as you want with her, somehow put up with rooming with a certain quirky brunette for two years in college, on top of working on events with this person, and still talks to her today. :0)
Plus, Dustin was the only guy Melanie has talked about liking. (Aside from Johnny Depp, but we're still figuring out how we're going to share him. Basically, I get him on every day that ends in a ' y.' HA HA. LOL)
It made me realize that we all have a "Dustin." We all have someone that we like , and are just hoping they like us back in return. When rejection happens, we all tend to wonder if there was something we could have said or done differently to make them change their minds. Then we think if only I where smarter, prettier, ect. But, after seeing my friend Irenes boyfriend Nestor run with us, and seeing my friend Kathrynns fiancee Ralph chauffer us to Austin, around Austin , pick us up, and dropp us off early in the morning at the half marathon we ran up there a few weeks ago, you just realize you don't want someone you have to change yourself for. You want the one who lets you be yourself and supports your crazy endeavors.
