I really couldn’t tell what was going on with Landon. He continued to talk to me via Skype and even starting texting me again here and there. I’d been in the position of counseling people I liked with their relationships TOO many times, and I wasn’t about to let this become that.
He seemed to be doing well. Although he expressed how he wasn’t happy with his current situation and didn’t think things would last much longer with his relationship. Apparently, there was lots of fighting and arguing and the lifestyle was getting old for him; too much partying, drinking and whatever else was going on. I’ve never been one to get into the party scene and I’m not a big drinker and I don’t smoke, so that lifestyle already sounded unappealing to me.
I made my best efforts to be a friend and listen to what was going on and offer my genuine advice regardless of how it would play out for me. Not that I was expecting anything, but just as a precaution I had already determined not to let myself be hurt again.
Landon continued talking to me that summer. We talked more frequently and conversations swayed from his negative life situations and relationship, to what I would consider normal things; interest in each other, hobbies, what was going on outside of relationships, work, movies…the fun stuff. I was still single and doing ok with that. Work kept me busy, so it was all good.
I was glad Landon had contacted me again and it all really reminded me of how much I enjoyed talking to him and how much I would love to sweep him off his feet.
