Well, gal pal blew me off. I bought tickets for a show and had a dinner reservations. I had told her I was just D and was not interested in an R at the present time, just someone to hang with. Somehow she got the feeling that I was looking for something more and got uncomfortable with going out tonight, so she blew me off with a test message!!! Not even a phone call. Hey, I've been initiated into the electronic age!
That said, I really have to blame myself - I think my C called it right: what am I doing going out with someone if I'm not dating? The gal said it felt too much like a date. I have to give her that one - she liked to flirt and I flirted back and I have no doubt she thought I wanted to sleep with her. Probably because I did.
So Dating in the 2000s Lesson #1 learned - if you talk one way but act another, you get misaligned expectationas and things will go nowhere fast. She didn't want me as more than a friend but I acted like I did, and so, I got to go out by myself - one for the price of two... lesson learnt. My C is going to yell at me for this one.
Oh, and just to add insult to injury, some idiot backed into the front of my car at the place we were going. So I got to spend the evening solo, and get to spend the next several weeks get quotes and repairs. I hate Karma.
