(Don't get this wrong, there's nothing 'loving' going on between us - well, I don't think so)
He called me Saturday night, drunk, and it was the first time I've ever heard his voice - which was interesting, he's a guitar-player and told me that he couldn't sing and my first reaction had been 'A guitar-player that does not sing? Then his voice must be... ugly?'
It's wasn't, though when I hear guys that speak with that soft accent that he did I always find them just a tad gay. Mostly because my accent sounds masculine.
We've been joking around for two weeks (but I've had contact with him for over 6 months) and we text each other almost whole nights about different things. He's helping me out a lot with my writing and even offered to read it so I would get it right.
He's also very good at reading people, he always predicts my reactions and he's always right. He's funny as hell too, he always cracks me up but last night, something happened.
I had just called him stalker when he (Let's call him E as in Edward) texted me this.
E: btw, don't fall in love with me. :p
Uuuuh.. I was kinda confused but thought that he was kidding, of course, what else?
Me: But you're so pretty, it's hard not to! :p
This is how we roll, we declare out undying love for each other and then laugh about it. Two days ago I proposed to him, offering to buy him for 17 US dollars and promising to gaze lovingly at him when he introduced me to his parents.
I also told him that it was hard to find true love for that kind of price. (You see, we laugh a lot)
Well, turns out he wasn't kidding about the warning. In 2 minutes he turned from this funny, nice guy to an asshole and I was kinda pissed off. Not by the fact that he was warning me but by the fact that he actually thought that I would risk my whole being by falling for him.
He's a player by heart, a different kind of player - he's the first I've actually enjoyed talking to but suddenly this?
Then it hit me.
He always predicts my reaction and suddenly he's trying to push me away? (I know he's got trust issues) He knows what a stubborn person I am and a warning like that would lead me to stop talking to him all together, maybe not since I still need his help with my writing.
That's why I texted him today saying;
I've figured you out! You're a vampire and you're worried about eating me!
I hope you can find help for your writing somewhere else, from somebody else.
ReplyDeleteYour perspective of the gendering of voices is interesting. Having heard very few Swedes talk (except for The girl who played with fire), I don't know all the tones, and how they might be coloured.
He's proven to be a nice guy, though his jerk-personality is showing sometimes.
ReplyDeleteIn that movie they're talkin Stockholmska - which is the most sing-a-song accent in Sweden.
I think I can compare it to English.
Stockholm - Brittish English
And my accent - Irish
(In some way, where I come from, we are like the Irish) :)
I can hear the Irish comparison come through right now.
