Author TuesGirl Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 Oh just forget about dating him and to be truthful it seems he would have called by now. I definitely wouldn't give him another thought; but go over and collect my keepsake ASAP! Yea, I'm starting to agree with this sentiment. I got a reply email last night to my original inquiry but then...nada. So yea, starting to get a little annoyed with the inconsistency between the wording and niceness of the email vs the lack of actually trying to set something up. I'll give it a day or two and then...damnit that earring is MINE Link to post Share on other sites
meerkat stew Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Go get it right this minute, before he turns it into a labrette or something! None of us here will be able to sleep well until you get that thing back in its proper place on your earlobe. In the future, accessorize cheaply when shacking up, leave the good stuff home.

There will be a party at my house tomorrow to celebrate the rightful return of said item and the end of this confusing communication i'm amazed you couldn't just pick up the phone as soon as you realized you left it - and say "i'm coming by today to get my earring that was left behind." what is so wrong with being direct?

Author TuesGirl Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 Ok phone nazis! Not that I feel I need to justify my actions or anything but there are reasons and it happened the way it did, so really there is no reason, in my opinnion to talk about what I shoulda, coulda done. This is the pickle I am in, and I just want to find the best solution with the given situation. But just so you know... a) I found out that the earring was missing as I was getting prepared to go to a wedding. I really didn't have the time to go back, or get caught up in a phone conversation at that. I knew he was still working (on the computer) so that's why I sent a quick email. Of course at the time I never realized that it would take a week to hear from him again. b) He works on the computer all day. It's easier (and I think more courteous) to send an email during work hours than to call. And c) I have a really hard time hearing on the phone. I've never liked it even before the advent of the internet. *phew* Link to post Share on other sites

Why don't you just drop by his place today and get your earrings back? Knowing from what you've said about him so far, I doubt it would matter how you behave around him at this as long as you get your stuff back. Link to post Share on other sites
Author TuesGirl Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 Do some of you even bother to read the previous posts in the thread before you post?

Pink Cupcakes Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 If he hasn't contacted you in that many days, he just is not that into you. I hope you have come to terms with that. oK now about the earring....just let it go. he may have thrown it out and doesn't want to have to tell you that. If you go to someone's house, then it is your responsibility to make sure you leave with everything that you came with. So take the loss of the earring as a loss, and a lesson to be more careful with your things. He has no obligation to you now, even to return the earring. Nothing you can do about it, and like I said, there's a good chance, since he's not that into you, that he tossed it in the garbage. Link to post Share on other sites

Last night he called to say 'hi'. I missed the call and returned it 30 minutes later..., blah, blah, blah, at some point I asked him what he was doing and he said he just started a movie (Green Zone). I said, "oh that sounds interesting, can't believe I haven't seen this Matt Damon movie." "Do you want to come over and watch it? I can start it from the beginning, I've only watched 30 minutes of it." "Sure". AND my earring was very safely tucked away in his nightstand. end.of.story. Link to post Share on other sites

Pink Cupcakes Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Yes he ignored you for a week and then you jump and are at his beck and call when he wants you to pop over. Let us know in 6 months how this relationship is going. Why are you going over to his house and just making out? Link to post Share on other sites

Pink Cupcakes Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 It's all marketing. It's the same reason women are thinking that their butt looks better in $200 jeans. If you're paying more than $40 for a bra (pretty much what a VS bra costs, not on sale, some are more), then marketers will have you believe that your breasts are being held up better since you paid $100 for a bra. People aren't buying luxury items right now and are realizing that $50 jeans and $30 bras (or lower) can also do the job of lifting your boobs and ass. Link to post Share on other sites
K'aycie Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 It wasn't a push up. It was an underwire, but the material was really silky soft and it had pretty fuscia and pink flowers all over it. Link to post Share on other sites

And likewise, how's your lady? Still hot and heavy? It's all marketing. It's the same reason women are thinking that their butt looks better in $200 jeans. If you're paying more than $40 for a bra (pretty much what a VS bra costs, not on sale, some are more), then marketers will have you believe that your breasts are being held up better since you paid $100 for a bra. People aren't buying luxury items right now and are realizing that $50 jeans and $30 bras (or lower) can also do the job of lifting your boobs and ass. It's not all marketing. There are clear quality differences between bras sold at say, JCPenny's or Victoria's Secret. Simply put, VS bras (majorly sold at $48.50-$52.00) support me (34C) more than bras I've purchased for a lower competing price from alternate stores. I think breast size is a factor- (my 34A friend can buy her bras anywhere)... whereas I find VS bras are prettier, better quality (more coverage, or less coverage but still supportive) and last longer than bras sold elsewhere. While I admit there are surely comparable places, I personally have not found them. Link to post Share on other sites
Author TuesGirl Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Eh Pinky...you have some strong 'my way or the highway' opinions.haha I got the earring back (that wasn't in the trash), which was the point of this whole conversation/situation I was in. So yes, I did jump at the chance to go over there and get it back and I'm glad I did. That's how important this peice of jewelry was to me. And plus, I had fun hanging out with him. I also got a follow-up email this morning that was initiated by him and was really nice. Not everyone falls into prescribed roles or actions 100% of the time. 6 months?!? Jeebus...who knows if I want to be with him in 6 months! Not everyone is on the fast track to marriage If this doesn't work out, well, there are plenty of others Link to post Share on other sites
