As posted, I've been spending a lot of time (relatively speaking) with Mr. A lately. I have no idea where it's going, and that's ok. I'm grateful for two things:
1) I truly enjoy spending time with him and I'm grateful for the chance. 2) I'm grateful for the chance to experiment. Now that I've had a year and a half to be wistful about what I would have done differently, it's good to have the chance to try some of these things out!
However, the results are kind of funky. Last night is a good example. After not making plans in advance, Mr. A called me last night to see if he could come over at 10. When he called, I was out with my friend and he was out with his friend, but we were pretty close (geographically) to each other.
Things wrapped up with my friend shortly thereafter, and I tried to get a hold of Mr. A because I wanted to meet up with him. I couldn't reach him so I went home.
He had left the house a total mess and I got really mad about everything. I had to do something about my anger, but I didn't want to act on pure emotion, so I texted him:
"Hey, I called and texted you and you didn't answer either. That's rude! If there's an explanation, let me know. If not, don't come over tonight."
He wrote back, "Whoa whoa whoa, I've been inside a bar!! Didn't hear it, sorry. I thought it was agreed upon that I'd be there about 10 or so."
Me: "Ok, that's why I asked! See you later then... smooch!"
Him: "Ummmm, ok."
He did get here around 10 and I told him I wanted to explain my earlier message. He said there was no need, but I told him I really wanted to. Then I said I was getting upset earlier and texted him because I wanted to find out what happened before my imagination went wild.
He basically told me to stop talking about it! So yeah, the communication issues persist.
I let it go but there was definitely some tension remaining. We got pizza, watched Seinfeld, and did not have any romance. Also, last night Mr. A offered to take me to lunch today at one of our favorite restaurants; he reneged his offer this morning.
But we did have a pretty enjoyable morning just hanging out. He said he was too stuffed from eating a whole pizza last night to go out to eat again this morning. He left and said he would call me later, but we didn't make any definite plans to see each other again.
I'm going to GAL this week by booking a social activity almost every night. I see a lot of golf in my future!
