Well, I had an unexpected encounter with Plant Lady today. I was passing by her office and noticed the door open and she's usually not around today. I stopped in to say Hi, how are you, how was your weekend blah blah and was met with short, polite answers and alot of dead air, so I moved on. When I got back to my office I realized that this person is not going to get back to me, she's gonna take the easy way out and avoid me for the week. I think four days to think about it might have resulted some remark like "what time is this service on Saturday night?" or "where do you want to meet" or even "sorry, can't make it" but there was no reference to it at all. So, I'll leave it to her to catch me, I won't be dropping by in hopes of getting an answer. I'll just accept it ain't happening and move along. Hey, I could be wrong here but that's the feeling I got from today's encounter, it's the Petite Coffee Buddy approach...avoid at all costs. Sorry Plant Lady but I've been trained by a real pro, avoid away! I just can't fathom why it seems a better option to avoid, make the guy feel like crap and probably yourself too rather than just say "thanks but no thanks"? I have greatly respected women who have said "you're a nice guy but..." I've also had some real weird ones in the past, my favourites are "sure I'll go, catch me later in the week and we'll work out the details" and guess what, they can't be found later in the week! Got fooled on that one twice! I actually did find one of them and she said "sit here, I'll be right back" at a table with all her friends and then didn't come back! Fun...wow! Ah, the memories! Oh well, off to make dinner and maybe, just maybe take out the recycle. Later Dbers.
