Don't worry, I'm not going to do that. Not that it doesn't cross my mind from time to time but that's just the 'guy' in me wanting to do it. I know that it would be completely detrimental on so many different ways to my current sitch with W and with future things with W and with D3.
So, W called this morning and wanted to know if I wanted to spend time with her on Friday since it's her birthday. I acted cool about it and said sure, it'd be cool and I didn't have any plans for Friday. She started questioning me some on not sounding "convinced" that I wanted to do it and I just told her that I had just woken up and had some things on my mind...left it at that. She also asked about Easter and I said I didn't have any plans other than having a good time with D3...hunting some eggs, maybe going to the park if the weather was good. She suggested that maybe we could do something together that morning and I said that would be good and D3 would enjoy that. She started talking about work and how she is tired all the time now and doesn't get to see D3 that much and I employed the Puppy valiate with a twist....I understand and it's hard on all of us. She just kinda went...huh, and left it at that.
So far today is ok. Getting some work done at the job and head out in a few for IC for my weekly get everything off my chest I can't say to W session. Should be good and leave me feeling calm and at peace.
DC,
Overall, very good, but next time to be more mysterious and unavailable, esp. if she asks you out ON A FRIDAY NIGHT (good gosh, man, even 13 year olds know to PRETEND you're busy on a Friday nite, LOL!!)
A better answer would have been "Sounds like fun, but I had some plans already. Let me get back to you" or something similar. Maybe bag out on the Friday thing, while being vague and mysterious, and then opting IN to the Easter thing with the family.
As they teach us in sales, you don't want to convey to the prospect that you could literally shoot a gun thru your appt. book and not hit anything.
Overall, you did very well tho, and I love the way you thru in the validate-with-a-twist (hmmm, we need a NAME for that drink).
