RELATIONSHIP RULES 1

Button wants to get back together... I find it really funny because i dated him for a year & 3months in 2000-2001. The relationship was not good... Full of drama and cheating... Now, one thing i hate is drama... i am drama free so, you can understand why i hate it. I don't want anyone i'm dating going crazy on me because i won't go crazy on anybody. There has to be some kind of privacy that comes from trust. Knowing that i won't hide anything from you just as i don't expect you to hide anything from me... That way, no-one feels the need to pry.
Now, i met Button 4months into dating the guy i'll call ''the millionaire''... I told him i was seeing someone but i really liked him and he said he wasn't seeing anyone. i was completely honest with him... With that and everything else but he wasn't the same way with me at all... He lied and lied and lied and lied to the point were he started forgetting some of the things he's said before. It was frustrating and i hated feeling like i was a fool that was being used so, i ended things...
Now, more than 8years later, he's begging for a second chance and he picked the right time... A time when i'm totally single and celibate. Trust me, this celibacy thing is trying... I don't know how people do it but it's almost 3months and i'm going crazy. Though i'm not desperate to jump into bed with anyone, it'll be nice to cuddle, you know...
He called a few times today and after the 3rd time, i gave him rules... 1st time we dated, we did it his way but now, it has to be on my terms. He broke my heart the first time and i'll be damned if i'm going to let it happen again... Now the rules:
We have to go on a minimum of 3dates before he can expect even a kiss.
I'm not to be pushed.
I need to be given time to get to know him all over again.
I will not pay for anythig as i did all the paying the last time.
I can call things off if i'm not happy with the way they are.
He was quick to say yes to my terms as he probably thinks i'm not serious but he'll be surprised cos my mind's made... I dont want him to walk all over me again... It hurt... I'd rather be single than heartbroken. God knows i can't handle any more of those...
This dating business is crazy i swear but not dating is worse. So, we have a lunch date for tomorrow (dinner would be stretching it) and i'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'll make sure i order only what i can afford just in case... You never know...Let's see how it goes...
For now, i'm just going to sit back, relax and try to come up with a plan on how to do the myriad things i have lined up for next week... Until tomorrow...
