I can't not respond to the text. I don't even do that to people I don't like.
I think I need to go over boundaries with her. Option #1: Send her this text: "I cannot go to a movie with you. It gives me a false sense of hope. As long as you continue to see OM, I cannot spend time alone with you."
Option #2: Decline the movie but offer to meet her for a drink after my plans. At this time, I will tell her that I do not want to be her Plan B any longer and I think we should stop any further interactions until OM is gone.
Option #3: Simply text her I have plans until 11 and can't make the movie.
