Man, I am swamped at work today but I don't care - I'm taking a little time out to post an update and ask for your thoughts.
Turns out Mr. A texted me three times last night and I didn't realize it. I still have a landline, so I really don't check my mobile phone when I'm at home!
Anyway, Mr. A called my phone this noon while I was at lunch. (I found out later that he had also called my work phone and left me a message there.) He was wondering why I didn't respond to his texts and I told him I hadn't gotten them. No biggie.
Then he wanted to know if I have plans for after work tonight. Yes, I told him, I'm golfing. I golf every Tuesday in a league. He asked what time I would be done and I said maybe 8:30.
Then - IN CLEAR VIOLATION OF MY *NEW* BOUNDARY FROM YESTERDAY! - I told him he was welcome to come along as it is an instructional league and they would give him some pointers.
What was I thinking? Just last night I said I wouldn't change my plans for Mr. A. Though this was *technically* not changing my plans, but just inviting him along, it still does change things because I already have a partner for tonight. Luckily, I don't think he wants to come.
He didn't really say either way, but we left it that he would call me around 5.
My schedule this week is: Tonight - golf w/ instructional league Tomorrow - golf with beginners' league Thursday - pack for my road trip Friday - Sunday - road trip Monday - recover from all the driving and do yardwork Tuesday - back on the job and instructional league again!
So I have nooooo time to see Mr. A over the next week unless it's after golf or on Thursday while I pack. BTW, my mother will be spending the night on Thursday b/c she's dog-sitting while I'm gone, so it would be really weird for us to get together that night.
Buuuttt...I really would like to see Mr. A again before I leave because things went well this weekend.
So now I'm in a pickle on 2 counts: 1) I invited Mr. A to come with me to golf tonight even though I really don't want him to be there, and 2) I want to see Mr. A before my trip but I don't know how I would do that without rearranging my schedule.
Any suggestions on what to do next? I'm completely at a loss!
P.S. I suppose he could just come over and hang out, but a part of me thinks that's too casual and setting a bad precedent.
