If you / Don't care for it

Oh, best yet, his plans for later got canceled, so he just IMd me asking if I want to meet tonight.

No, here's where you say you were going to go to Java City to see some music and study. If he'd like to join you for a coffee, come on by for a bit, but that you can't make it late because you need to study.

Then, if you do this and if he comes, don't let it turn into anything late. Stick to your word.

This isn't about DBing or game playing or anything. Take a little control. If he balks, then so be it. Make some plans and stick to them, you'll be happier tonight if you do.
