A little something about nothing

Friend or Foe

I feel like the worst friend ever. There is a guy, Joe, that I met 7 years ago. We started dating, which only lasted about 6 weeks. He was nice, but he was really into me and I just wasn't there. Surprisingly, we actually remained friends, not just say we would.

After knowing him for about 5 months he moved to Florida. We stayed in touch through emails here and there. He has had a girlfriend for the last 5 or so years. I went to Florida 5 years ago to visit and met her. Very nice girl; however, he lied and said he knew me from school. WHATEVER!

Anyway, since he's had the girlfriend I hear from him maybe once very 4 to 5 months and it is a very vague email. We started IMing on occassion, but he is always being perverted and telling me I'm his back up girl. Never wanting to talk about what is really going on with either of us. Very strange to me. The last two times he came to visit his family here in Michigan he couldn't find time to see me...he did call me once for about 10 minutes.

Anyway, he has been here since last Saturday. He finally contacted me on Tuesday and wanted to get together. I work a 2nd job and tonight is my only night I could meet him. I thought dinner would be good, but I just don't have any excitement about meeting him. We don't really talk so what am I supposed to fill 1 to 2 hours with...sex talk?! This is where the bad friend part falls. I was invited to a happy hour, which I kinda suggested in the first place, and I am going to go to that instead of seeing him.

I feel bad, but honestly we don't have anything in common and it isn't like he's made a ton of effort to keep in touch or see me either. How rude am I???? Oh, they say what comes around goes around...that is terrible, that means I will not have any friends one day.
