Happy Single Awareness Day...with a side of Relief!

Well hello there....

I just heard for the first time that Valentine's Day is also called Happy Single Awareness Day...and I had to use it.  And while I'm single, I must say it feels great to not feel bitter about the day in anyway and I'll tell you why....I'm loved; I'm loved by friends and family and I'm completely fine with that.

I'll admit, I had some week moments of wishing I had a "real valentine" after watching some Hallmark specials this weekend, but overall I'm....wait a minute.....Ahhhhhh RELIEVED!  I don't have to run around an find a card with the masses of people hovering and breathing over each other trying to find those perfect words.  I'm relieved that I didn't have to rack my brain to figure out that romantic/sexy/funny whatever gift for my significant other.  I'm relieved to not feel pressured to rush to a restaurant  and and be forced to spend a fortune on mediocre mass produced food.  I'm relieved to not feel that disappointment when my significant other did not do enough to make me feel special or vice versa.  And while I'm relived to be single this year, I do wish all those lovebirds a wonderful day filled with joy!!!!  

Oddly enough, I got a text (after a week and half later from our last text) from Mr. San Diego yesterday.....really???? I'm not sure how to take this..." Hey you...Are you alive? I haven't talked to you in what feels like forever...How are you doing?"  Am I supposed to respond to this?  Really buddy, I know I said give me a call when things ease up at work, but this is taking it a little too far.  You didn't have 1 minute in the last 2 weeks to call me and this is how you contact me????  Like I said last time, I know we've never even gone out before, he's not my boyfriend, but if someone really wants to get to know you and talk to you they will make every effort.

Now my dilemma is how do I handle this?  I have not responded yet and I'm obviously in no hurry.  Here's what I'm debating:

1. Do I just delete the text all together (after all he lives in San Diego and I live in Jersey, where can this really go?
2. Do I play the game a little (for a little fun, since there's nothing else going on) - and just say sorry, been super busy and hope all is well? Again, we're not dating so why should I show any concern?
3. Do I let him know I'm annoyed and that the phone works both ways?

Hmm...what to do what to do????  Universe, please help me now!
