Yeah, I felt like I boxed myself in a bit. I had already said I wanted to go to the movie with her, and when she backpedaled and said she wasn't sure if she could make it (after SHE invited ME!), I wasn't quite sure how I should play that. I was annoyed to be sure, but I didn't show her that. I tried to clearly express that I have a life, and that I couldn't wait around for her to tell me at the last minute, but it definitely came off like I was letting her dictate my agenda, like you said. I need to get better thinking on my feet, and remember the rule, if you can't quickly figure how to respond, just say "I need to think about it."
