Adventures in Being Single Part I: Text it Up

So there's this tv show called "How I Met Your Mother" and there's this character called "Barney Stinson" and he does this thing where he introduces his single friend to people by saying "Have you met Ted?" (I'm sure there will be more on that later). So my friend, we'll call him Barney did that. To this kid. And so yesterday I started a text conversation with him, which was chill or whatever, and I hung out with Barney and his friends, which included the boy, who I guess we'll call Sheldon. And okay, it went really well! And we played like knee hockey and he blocked shots for me which was super cute.
And like, afterwards I wanted to text him but wouldn't because, excuse me, desperate? And I was complaining about how I wanted to but couldn't to Barney and then he like... GRRR. He texted Sheldon and told him to freaking text me. Seriously. My life is like a sitcom. (Ironic because I named these people after sitcom characters). But now we're texting and flirting and like how do I tell him I'm not like looking for something right now? Because god he's really good at this like flirting thing. I'm not going to like date people any time soon though.
And like, I get butterflies, but then when my ex texts me it's like, what am I doing texting this other boy and flirting when like you know there's so many unresolved issues between me and my ex. And like, I know that we're over and what ever. But it still feels wrong. A little.
And it's like, I know I probably don't want to actually want to date this guy. Actually I know for a fact that I really don't think want to, I don't think... I just want to have what I had with my ex again. And it's way too soon for that...
Raise your hand if you're emotionally confused. Just me? No?

Okay, until next time.
