Now it's time for the update. I decided to call Keisha up, just to talk. She answers the phone and is very excited I called. However, her mom's on the phone, so she wanted to call me back. I'm like, "Sure...that's cool."

After that, I felt really relieved. I was no longer carrying a grudge, and I made an attempt to reach out to her. I'm watching my show The 4400, and I just felt so at ease. It was a great feeling.

She didn't call back that night. She sent me a text at around 1 in the morning saying that her grandfather was in the hospital and he was sick. I was like, "OK. Just call me when you can."

I couldn't help but think, "Didn't this happen before?" Yeah...it was a modified story. She told me that she had been in the hospital for a crackin her skull she got in soccer, so she couldn't call me up. This was when she was breaking up with me the wrong way (by not calling or letting me know what's up). However, I shook it off as that old dust/negativity coming back. I remained optimistic.

So...a week goes by. No call from Keisha. I'm thinking, "OK...something must've happened to her grandfather, so she's in mourning or something." Still trying to remain optimistic. Two weeks later...no call. Fast forward to present, nearly a month and no call.

Now...I'm tempted to just stop talking to her altogether, because she deserves it. I never did her wrong in our relationship, even though she blew me off to spend time with her female friends and stuff. I never called her out of her name to anyone, even after I found out how she hurt me. Her name was always, "Keisha" (even though my homeboy calls her a b...).

Now...what do I do? I've called her, and tried to establish that line of communication again. However, it's like...I don't exist to her or whatever. My question is...do I do a follow-up call and see what happened? Or do I just let the whole matter go completely?

I really wanted to be her friend...really. It hurts (fighting back tears) that she does me like this. The only girl I ever loved, does me wrong. Women always talk about the men...but no one really notices what the men go through that turns them into dogs. I'm trying so hard not to become one...

hey i'm harsh so i'm gonna tell u the way i will tell one of my peoples, f89k that bi&&3. she's insensative to you and your feelings. she may be going through a lot in life right now, but if this is the case she needs 2 let u know that she needs time 2 get herself together. u seem like a really nice guy who has a lot going 4 himself. surrounding yourself with negative ppl is only going to bring you into harms way. my suggestion 2 u is 2 not bother with her anymore. if she wants 2 be friends with you, let it be here who makes da move. you were hurt and u went out you're way

Darryl there are only so many times to you can try to get someone's attention and after awhile you just have to let it go. And when i say let it go i mean let it go buddy, holding on to something that hurts to think about isn't good for your body, You start blaming yourself and this whole situation isn't your fault at all, Its hers and its time to let it go. Your a great guy with alot of things going for you, she's going to regret later on things she's done. Forgive her for putting the hurt on you but dont forget because that will stop you from going through the same situation in the future. As women do and men tend to do turning into different people when hurt by someone they once loved but that isn't going to fill the pain the this girl has put on you, its going to make it worst because then you'll be dealing with karma. You'll find that special person who will love you unconditionally and because you turned into that dog you didn't want to be you'll let love pass you by. I say just let it go and move on its her lost.
Im out
