The care and feeding of Melinda

So, I had a great first date with a guy last Wednesday, with an even better follow-up on Friday. Ended Friday evening with a nice kiss, plans to catch a movie the next week and a promise to "call you Sunday" to firm them up.

Now given the fact that I am a human being with a life of my own, deserving of at least as much respect than you'd give your garden-variety dog walker, what kind of girl would I be if allowed him to wait until Tuesday at 7pm to ask me out for a movie on Wednesday night?

A girl with "doormat" written on her forehead, that's what kind.

Luckily for me, I have a mirror, so I double-checked and sure enough! Nothing written up there. Having verified that, I was confident in telling him that I was busy, but I could fit him in for a quick drink after work on Friday before my other plans, thank you very much.

:P

  2. I agree with Voix. But I do like your tactic of waiting until Friday. I've learned that not making "being a couple" a priority, is the best tactic. Be aloof, independant, and HAVE a life other than the guy. I know that coming from me, it's like hearing Bill Clinton say "dont cheat." Oh well. I speak from experiance.
