The Toothbrush Guy

So I have this theory: If a guy offers you a toothbrush, it may NOT be a good thing after all. Many girls will speculate that leaving behind a toothbrush indicates the relationship moving in a more serious direction. Maybe, maybe not. There was a time where I was dating a guy that was actually my friend for awhile. He had been in a relationship when I met him and it wasn't until after that relationship ended that he pursued me. I always had a little thing for him. He was smart, funny, sweet and cute. Or so I thought. Since we had been friends you would think that we were past the "getting to know you" phase. You should already know if you like me or not. Right? Wrong!

We started to casually date and it was fun. He would invite me over to spend the night at times, you know, to cuddle and all that. After spending the night a couple times he pulled out an extra toothbrush and said "its extra. you can have it and keep it here." Now I really don't read too much into things. When I was given this beautiful gift I was thinking "sweet a toothbrush! now I don't have to worry about dental hygiene. And it even has those massaging bristles!" So I tried out this new toothbrush, went to bed and that was that. Never heard from him again.

Or at least until he called me after TWO WEEKS. I was so annoyed. Who does he think he is? Ignoring him would be too easy so I decided to go out one last time just for the opportunity to remind him how much of an ass he was. So after getting a couple drinks he drops me back off at my place and tries to spend the night. At that point I told him I wasn't going to put up with the indecisive bullshit and he had to make a decision. His response: "I'm sorry it took me forever to call you back, I was just afraid you wanted more than I did." Well excuse me for liking a toothbrush which YOU gave me. This just proves how idiotic men can be. Give a girl a toothbrush and then assume that she wants to marry you. He didn't even ask what I wanted out of the relationship or to the extent of my feelings (which were not that extended). Assumptions will always prove to make an ass out of you and me; and all over a stupid toothbrush.
