Girlfriend Material?

As I sit here on a hot heated night drinking a glass of wine, I can't help but think about that last horrible relationship fail that happened to me. When a guy tells you that he doesn't want to date, normally you would just shrug it off and move on. But what if you really like a guy? I have been interested in this guy for over a year and I was being very patient. Do you just give it all up or tell him you will just stay friends? Well I decided to tell the guy I liked that we could stay friends. Big mistake on my part, because not even a week ago, he sent me a message on Facebook asking if he could come see me on Sunday, after his date. As I read the message over and over in my head, I figured when he said date he meant like a friend date with N. his good guy friend. I immediately messaged him back saying sure. About 2 days after Sunday had come and gone, I got another message from him saying that his date had gone longer then expected and obviously he wasn't going to be able to make it. I figured he forgot what day it was. I shrugged it off and just let it go. 2 days later I get another message asking me if we could hang out that Friday night. I replied with well I hope it doesn't get in the way of your date, trying to come up with a sly remark back to him. He replied with, "She is an old friend that I thought I had lost my chance with, but we are trying again."When I heard that I immediately told him that I was not only busy on Friday night but was also disappointed that he knew how much I liked him, yet he still decided to date someone else. He replied with "We'll talk later." That was over 3 days ago. I know that men can change their minds and give no excuse what so ever about why... but why did it have to be him? Am I not girlfriend material? Am I not someone that someone can desire and want? Why when a woman likes a man do they instantly run when they find out? These are answers I may never answer, but for now, I am standing up proud and saying goodbye. Men work in weird ways sometimes. Oh well.. I guess onto the next one!
