I had a record high of TWO pounces this week. Yes girls...CrAzY!!! I was not the pouncer but the pouncie. I never saw it coming... I think the New Years attitude of living up your life and sappy lifetime holiday movies have gotten the best of everyone (at least boys in the central time zone). Let me explain and your thoughts are needed...
First pounce. Happened over a text message "hey i don't know if its because I'm tired or because I have liquor in me but I have feelings for you.." Sounds like a keeper no? Then later he admitted that he lied and said that he mentioned the liquor part because if I responded poorly then he could have that as an excuse?? Makes tons of sense right. Main point I didn't respond other than we will talk later but is it bad that I have no intention of talking with him later? I hope it is just a phase and it will pass. Nicole this is my guy friend who was dating the duck. So he is emotionally confused right now.
Second pounce. Just happened a few days ago. My family friend came in through Waco on his way to school up in the north west. We went to lunch and he offered to pay for my meal. This is no big deal because he is the typical southern gentleman and does this with basically any girl. So I am enjoying my burger and he proceeds to tell me his wild new years eve stories of him and his friends playing scrabble in his parents living room. Then as I take a big bite of the greasiest burger imaginable he tells me he likes me. And has for a while..... I almost choke. This one came out of the blue even more so than the first. I said a simple..."Thank you" while mouth is full of freshly slaughtered cow.
Sad thing is I see these to gentlemen as nothing more than good friends.

First pounce: I think you should talk to this guy and say, "As flattered as I was by the effects that fatigue and liquor have on you, you don't seem to be very certain of your feelings and thus needed the excuse. So come talk to me when you do have some certainty, except then I will tell that I am and always have been certain of my lack of feelings for you." And maybe you should tell him that he needs to improve his pounce if he wants better results. Drunk, pansy pouncing is a no-go.
Second pounce: I absolutely love that you responded with "thank you". But can we somehow tell boys about the importance of timing if you're going to pounce? It is not fair to trap us with our mouths full of food!
Seriously? SERIOUSLY? C'mon guys! Do they really not put any thought into their pounces? At least we have the decency to plan ours out. Or perhaps that is their problem... over planning. Either way, these guys need to sign up for their nearest Pounce 101 class... taught by us :)
Shady-I agree that would be the thoughtful thing to do...even though it will be awkward as ever considering he has been my best guy friend since freshman year...didnt mention that one before. :/
theEnforcer-I know!! if they had been 'waiting for the right moment' these pounces were not it.
If it were possible, I would create you a transportable trap door that you could use anywhere, anytime for pounce escape.
Ps. I'm sorry but I lol-ed at your pain. "Thank you" with greasy burger mouth. Ha ha priceless...
