A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

Example of head back in game...

Email to H, who is headed to a friend's house for movie night after work:
--------------------
Just had a thought...

You know, there's totally enough food here for people to come here tonight. I made the soup (and damn it's good!), plus there's ham, salad and whatever munchies or beverages you typically bring. Having it here would also make it easier for kidlet to go but still be home in time for bed.

It's cool either way, but if you want to invite them here let me know so I can pick up the LR a little more than usual.

Cheers,

Dia

H's reply:

Thanks for the offer!

I'm going to stick with going to their place. It's a comfortable routine.

Hmmm, interesting. It doesn't bug me that he said no, but there was some learning in the 'Thanks for the offer" part. I was prepared for a uniformly negative, flat out no, knee-jerk reaction possibly along the lines of telling me to stop trying to weasel into his life.
