..oh yes, he did….
oh yeah, I got a text message today from Jackson, you remember him?, “Hit & Run” guy….
this conversation was much shorter and went something like this…..
Jackson: Are you by chance on Campus?
Ivonne: not yet my class is at 7…why what do you want now….(I’m still a bit p’d over the hit and run thing)
Jackson: Nada. Lo Siento (translation: nothing I’m sorry).
Oh no, you do not get to do that to me.
You don’t get to text me and then NOT tell me why you called.
So I called him and I asked him, what do you want?
And he gets all defensive on me. I, of course point out, that the only time he ever calls is when HE wants something and that is not very friendly…
¿ Are you aware of this? , I say to him. Jackson is still defensive says something like, point taken or some such thing.
¿What did he want you ask?…he wanted to know if I could pick up his thesis at the school library.
Ok, so here’s the thing…Campus is in Long Beach…I live in Long Beach…Jackson lives and hour away.
Either way he still has to drive to Long Beach to pick it up.
Does that even make any sense?
I’m open to input.

hey ivonne,
I am not quite sure if I understood the situation right so correct me if I’m mistaken.
So he texted you, because he wanted you to pick up his thesis? And after that? I don’t really understand his motives or whatever he was thinking when texting you. Maybe he wanted you to pick them up and then bring them to him (so that he can see you?)? Or if you were on campus he could meet up with you while picking up his thesis….
However, this can also just be my female ways of thinking (like getting up the hopes all the time)… :S
I guess I have to think about it a bit more. But I have to say, altough men pretend to say that they are more direct and clear about what they think I, for my part, just can’t comprehend their actions so often…
Love, appleblossom

yes he texted me and then had to get to work, he coaches high school and they had a game.
I have not heard from him since yesterday.
He already turned in his thesis and so will be graduating so he was not on campus but in another city at a high school game.
read the post on hit and run–that was him too.
My girl brain thinks the same way…why is he asking me to do this, when he could do it himself. I live 15 mins from school, either way you look at it he still has a long drive if ihe gets it from school or me…but maybe that’s wishful thinking on my part..like he’s trying to find excuses…
but as far as I know he is still with the same girl ( he was seeing the both of us, unknown to me).
I really should be running in the opposite direction but being a girl, that is the challenge.
I did tell him he is giving me lots of material for me writing….
lol

*sigh* I really empathize with your whole situation. I’ve had the experience where he doesn’t want to quite commit to you only, but he doesn’t want to let you go. So he does little things to keep you around (periodically sending ambiguous text messages, a phone call to “check on” you, etc. I don’t know if this is your situation, but your post definitely made me think of my ex and his issues
May 12, 2010 at 7:43 pm
I get a kick out of the every three weeks or so text of “just checking up on you” and yes the ambiguous text…
hello, I have not dropped dead because you are not around!!!!

Jackson sounds quite immature and unable to cope with his own issues. The fact that he asked you to do this hearkens back to the time in class last semester when he demanded your credit card. What would be interesting is to be able to see what goes on in his head.
But I will say this once again, you are too good for him and deserve far better. I hope this did not dampen your spirits.

….LOL..ong you are really “outing” him David aren’t you…
It doesn’t get me down it pisses me off…you know you see the name on the caller id…..you think he’s calling for me…and then to find out he justs wants a favor….
oh well, what can you do…
May 14, 2010 at 5:41 am

May 14, 2010 at 5:47 am
serious about religious studies or about Jackson?
ivonne

religious studies. =) i’m doing Women’s studies in religion. it’s lots of fun. although not so fun outside of school start talking to me about religion. hot hot topic. religion or feminism for that matter. i usually just say i’m in cultural studies when people ask. because no one knows what that means.

I had a hit and run with him a couple of months ago and I’m sure I haven’t been the only one. Got what I wanted and bailed. Wise thing would be for you to cut your losses and move on.

Dear Dolores,
thank you for commenting and perusing my blog. The interesting thing is that Jackson has been in a commited realtionship with Jennifer since last October. To quote him, “Jennifer is invaluable to me”. So, I’m not really sure what the true story is.
But I do know that women can’t allow themselves to get stuck on what could have been–should have beens—–.
Never dwell on what a man who is not in your life is doing or not doing.
And to be in a relationship with a wonderful new man..should imply that one has moved on.
thank you for your input.

Hmmm, no offense to the men here but lemme say AAARRRRGH … I agree with Lola and what she has said. I did this with S, I cut my loses about 3 weeks ago after he did in fact contact me and then he said he only wanted email communication. NO way matey, grow the hell up!
Sounds like Jackson needs to grow up also.
oh btw I have a new website and I run wordpress off that now so I will forward it to you here …
