Hello Ladies
Thanks for your tips
Gosh I'm sleepy. Maybe I shld postpone?
I don't mind if he canx. Bed, hot chocolate, book more appealing right now!
I'd rather have NO R talk so I won't be initiating it

I'd prefer an easy evening, just catch up face to face but there's no denying the elephant, so I just wanted to be clear on where I was by practicing answers.

I will update later if I'm still awake!
Otherwise tomorrow
I remember when we first separated & I didn't see him for a month, I felt zero when we met up for a walk. This time its 2 months since we've seen each other.

Htxt: I'm not sure I'm going to make it tonight. Feeling v tired & abit grumpy.

Me: that's a shame, I was looking fward to catching up but we can raincheck if you'd rather

I'm scared. This is reminiscent of his pattern.
Agree & then fold. Let down after let down after let down.
want to give him benefit of doubt but this has happened too many times
you'd think seeing me wld excite him but he can't be arsed

Thank you Busting and Tori for your positive responses.
I am grateful to the Universe for letting me off tonight as I am so tired and to H for stepping up and offering a better first meeting.

We always communicate better across a table where food is involved!
More relaxed, more generous to each other so we focus on hearing each other.

I am very pleased with what has occurred tonight
I have no expectations other than a full belly, good company and to be entertained by a movie.

Will keep you updated...

Hi Tumbling,

The evening you have planned sounds as if it could be fun and relaxed. I'm glad that you have no expectations other than full belly, good company and to be entertained by a movie. It's Saturday, right? You may need to review the "good company" bit though as he could still be feeling tired and grumpy. The other two expectations sound reasonable!

One thing puzzles me though and maybe I'm missing something. At 5+pm you wrote, "Gosh I'm sleepy. Maybe I shld postpone? I don't mind if he canx. Bed, hot chocolate, book more appealing right now!" But when he texted an hour later about not being sure he'd make it, you responded, " that's a shame, I was looking fward to catching up but we can raincheck if you'd rather". Were you just trying to be polite? It sounds a bit pursuing to me. Especially since you thought not seeing him tonight was more appealing, I'm curious about why you didn't say, "Actually, I was thinking just the same thing!"

Anyway, it obviously didn't harm your sitch as the outcome of the texting looks like a great plan. And, I really like that he texted more words overall smile

From his track record, is he likely to stick with the plans for your evening out? Or could he retract even with a booking?

It sounds to me as if you become more ambivalent about being with him as the possibility approaches. You sounded keener to me when you were waiting for his texts when he was away.

Hope you have a really good night's sleep.

PS I really liked your butterfly story for Tori!

I think he'll stick with the plans, Tumbling. I hope you slept well last night.

I agree with Wendylon that you not only sound more ambivalent, but more indifferent. Does it matter to you if you save your M or not? This is important. Notice how you feel when you see him. Your body will give you cues to figure out your real emotions.
