Being Friends with Brian

After saying Merry Xmas to Brian, we started talking again.

He is visiting Taiwan and Thailand these days.

I learned that he went to see a doctor in Taiwan for a. mild hernia, and a dentist in Thailand for root canal. Wow. Very unsexy haha.

I’m definitely a lot less attracted to him this time around. If last April he kept the convo going, I would’ve felt a lot for him. Let’s revisit reasons why I would never, ever make out with him or date him:

  1. Not reliable / bad etiquette – Didn’t show up to my Noveween 2022 party and didn’t say anything.
  2. Bad temper / blunt – When I joked about it months later, he got mad and expressed it without holding back
  3. Not a thoughtful person – Didn’t warn me about crossing the border for ECF Live in 2023
  4. Not a grateful person / took my idea without acknowledgement – Used my idea of hiring an agency while doing things in-house to speed up TT success, and totally forgot that he copied my idea
  5. Conceited – thinks he is smarter, thinks he is a visionary
  6. Negative / cynical
  7. No affirmation / no compliments – dismissive
  8. No physical touch
  9. No quality time – never wants to hang out one on one
  10. Hardly laughs or smiles
  11. Cold personality
  12. Doesn’t seem to have a strong sex drive
  13. Wants kids
  14. Wouldn’t dedicate time for a relationship, from the looks of it
  15. Has a ton of health issues, including bad eye sight, root canal, hernia
  16. Disappears when there’s discomfort/conflict between us
  17. Doesn’t take much of an initiative to show that he is interest – not asking me out, invites me to his event and doesn’t talk to me

Smart, funny, successful – but how undatable he is!
