The Adnostic

Let me start off by saying thanks for the last guy, he was great. Sorry I messed things up by being so insecure. I promise I'll do better next time.

Moving forward, we need to have a talk about the guys you've been sending my way recently. Men who can't stop talking about their Blackberries, think punk shows are scary, and bore me to the point that I almost fall asleep while talking on the phone are not good candidates for the open position of My Boyfriend. I require a delicate hybrid of mental and physical chemistry and that last one just didn't cut it. I know this is a tall order, but you've done it before and I have every confidence that you can do it again.

I also want to thank you for sending an ex-boyfriend out from New York specifically to cheer me up with a little retail therapy to get over the last ex. It's sweet, but it is more than a little unnerving to hear that our friendship with occasional extras over the past three years is one of the best relationships he's ever had. Here I was not even really considering it a relationship and he has me ranked up there with a girl he almost married. Does this mean I can only be taken in small doses or that we simply have vastly differing opinion of what exactly constitutes an intimate relationship? Or both?

I just hope he's not looking to get back together. It took a while, but I finally feel comfortable with the way things are between us - friends, and only friends.
