On ignoring and being ignored

The funniest part about being a pro a ignoring people is understanding right away when you are being ignored. As it turns out someone I thought I was making good progress with as a friend (and may be in the future romantically) has decided to ignore me. Now there are two things one can do when one is being ignored. Either you can confront the said person or send them acerbic emails (again something I'm good at) and tell them it would have been nice of them to just tell you that they weren't interested in talking to you. Of course, I myself, take the other route so that's kinda hypocritical of me but when it's me who is being ignored, I get pretty damn preachy. Well, the world is full of hypocritical people like myself and I'm not proud of it but I do agree, it IS simpler to avoid people rather than tell them truthfully that you do not want to have anything to do with them. And when one takes that route, it is just so much simpler to know when someone else is doing the same to you, sigh.. The other course of action when one is being ignored by someone is to ignore them back. Sometimes that ACTUALLY works and the said person eventually comes to you and wants to spend time with you. However, when this happens you are extremely angry at having been ignored in the past and the person thinks he/she successfully ignored you and is back and that things are just peachy. Now that, is a recipe for disaster..

Well in this special case of mine, I'm pretty damn sure that the person who is ignoring me at the moment isn't returning anytime soon. Neither is he very dear to my heart. So instead of confronting him, I think I'm going to ignore him in return. I think that's the best course of action at the moment, don't you?
